Re: Any reason to keep OS 9.2.2 if not used 6 mos?
There is the question of the required OS9 drivers for X to load. Also, OS9 is so small, it is smaller than a lot of picture and music storage.

Re: Any reason to keep OS 9.2.2 if not used 6 mos?
Make sure your firmware is updated before you abandon OS 9; most firmware updates are done with OS 9. What model Mac? If it is a beige G3 and you want to run 10.3 or 10.4 you will need OS 9 to boot with XPostFacto. Otherwise, it sounds like you don't need it. I kept an inactive OS 9 drive for several years, finally removed it, and haven't missed it since. I replaced it with a larger, newer drive for data storage but I kept OS 9 on the old drive, stored safely in case I ever had a old file or program that needed it. It's still sitting untouched in the closet. On Jan 7, 12:45 am, JIM RAPER jazpe...@shawneelink.net wrote: Hi, I haven't used OS 9.2.2 for at least 6 months.

I think I've gleaned a great deal of thoughts from what's been discussed and I'll check on the NIST info soon. I want to comment on the RAW image file discussions. It occurs to me that the proper way to think of a camera's RAW file is to consider it a 'piece of undeveloped film'. The conversion and manipulation of a RAW file into a TIFF or JPEG is incredibly analagous to the astonishing ways Film can be manipulated to change the outcome of it's development into a finished Slide or Negative. Let along the changes one can introduce when taking that slide or negative to the print stage. I personally would NEVER consider an Undeveloped Piece Of Film to be ARCHIVAL. Currently, I don't see how RAW in it's current technological status can be considered ARCHIVAL. There is to much proprietary, licensed, and secret(?) tied up in how Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad, etc have things structured. Maybe ADOBE can give DNG to the Library Of Congress as a repository of profiles and processes and such. How are all these zillions of important images be stored for posterity let alone people's family snapshots and memories??? Richard I should note I was just talking about digital camera files being best in RAW format...In your situation, TIFF is certanly the way to go. Since most consumer or even prosumer scanners and software already interpolate the raw sensor data into TIFF format (there are some that generate RAW type file, though the cost of such machines is quite high) So converting those TIFF images into DNG would be a waste.

Re: iPod migration, new computer
On 1/6/09 8:45 AM, Bob Whiton of m...@rswhiton.com sent Expecting the new iMac soon, I've searched the kb and not found the answer. Should I be expecting to have to reset/erase the iPod to the new iTunes or does migration assistant allow the iPod to be used on the new computer without reset/erase? No need to erase your iPod. I'm on my fourth Mac with my 2G iPod, with no resets. Migration Assistant should move your iTunes library with no problem, or you can copy from your iPod. Bob (quote) or you can copy from your iPod. (end quote) Really? How, without using the iPod as a straight external HD? Very interested.

Each pixel is further divided into cells - usually four - which are filtered to be sensitive to the red, green and blue areas of the visual spectrum - one red, two green and one blue in the vast majority of digi capture - though Kodak tried one red, one blue and six green in the early days http://www.epi-centre.com/reports/9306cs.html Conversion to tiff or any other format on import into an image editor will not affect the raw data unless the original is destroyed after conversion.

Re: Where do I learn.... becomes archiving files and images- the future
Original Poster here.. This jpeg vs tiff question is pretty important to me. My personal experience with jpegs is that the inherent nature of how the compression it uses works, very little quantities of data loss equate with the Functional Loss of the image. My limited knowledge of the 'nature' of TIFF is that (to some extent) it is more resistant to losing the entire image if data describing specific pixels is lost or compromised. Does anyone know if this is correct? A further question I have is that the TIFF 'standards' site I was looking at indicates that a previously 'patented' compression option inside of TIFF -I believe the LZW option- was transfered to the public domain -or something similar- so it is considered an open standard that Archive and Library folks and companies are more comfortable using it. My question is whether the LossLess Internal File Compression option makes the individual files be more at risk in the presence of 'partial' file loss? :-) Richard On Jan 7, 2:18 pm, Doug McNutt dougl...@macnauchtan.com wrote: At 13:12 -0500 1/7/09, Dan wrote: At 8:36 AM -0700 1/7/2009, Bruce Johnson wrote: JPEG is also an ISO standard, and open source implementations exist.

Setting up External Firewire Drive for CCC
I want to use a 1TB external Firewire hard drive initialized in Apple Partition Map to make bootable clones of a PPC G4 iBook and two or three Intel Macs. Each source machine will have its own partition on the FW drive. I plan to use Incremental backup for File level copying. To restore files, CCC documentation says in several places: Note that you cannot select the boot drive as the target, you will need to boot from another drive if you need to restore directly to your boot drive. Does this mean that I simply boot from the clone on the partition of the FW drive and launch CCC on that partition, or must I boot from a third volume? Is there any utility in having a separate, bootable universal volume on my FW drive with its own copy of CCC? Note Apple's Article HT2595. If so, then when Snow Leopard comes to my Intel Macs, that volume is not longer universal, right? I foresee moving the FW drive from Mac to Mac and room to room to keep bootable clone backups up to date. Looking at CCC documentation for backing up to another Macintosh on your network, it appears that this method cannot maintain a bootable clone, since the context deals with selected data to a folder.

Re: Where do I learn.... becomes archiving files and images- the future
HiYa Pete, thanks for the tip on the 'Black' Fuji media. My only 'techie' relative mentioned these to me over the weekend. He's been a mac disciple since the begining having bought like the third one sold here in Michigan way back when. He's a programmer, engineer, optics, physics, etc etc etc expert currently doing his interdisciplinary thing managing multiple projects at an aerospace company. He used some of these Discs to send pictures and videos to his daughter across the country, but during a visit carrying his shiny new MacBook Pro he discovered their 'blackness' tripped up his drive. He said it was a laser disperion problem - the discs read perfectly in his wife's older ibook and his daughters pc's but choked in his MacBook. As incredibly wonderful these UV and Light defending discs are, they might be a little to exotically engineered for my particular application. I also intend for these discs to be in light tight storage anyway and the benefits derived from the 'engineered sunscreen' the black fuji's aren't really needed. Has anyone heard of Taiyo Yuden the japanese cdr dvdr media manufacturer? I am bumping into postings, pages, and vendors, hailing their discs as being the definite first choice for burning with. The postings are religiously devoted and the ancedotes widely expressed by buyers and audiophiles and such emphatically describe clean, consistent, and accurate burned discs. They also describe consistently NOT burning coasters when using the taiyo yuden media.

To generate a TIFF that sensor data has to be altered and when you do so information is lost. Raw data from the sensor is in the form of electron counts from each pixel of the array. Each pixel is further divided into cells - usually four - which are filtered to be sensitive to the red, green and blue areas of the visual spectrum - one red, two green and one blue in the vast majority of digi capture - though Kodak tried one red, one blue and six green in the early days http://www.epi-centre.com/reports/9306cs.html Conversion to tiff or any other format on import into an image editor will not affect the raw data unless the original is destroyed after conversion. Unfortunately sensor data is not the only form of image data called 'raw' - some proprietary systems use the term 'raw' very loosely for uncalibrated binary data - hence the compression. For archiving images I use the Fuji CD-R printable Inkjet Black UV Pro which is recommended for the purpose http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/recmedia/site/product/product.asp?pid=145 not easy to get hold of and not cheap but a pod of one hundred goes a very long way.

Taiyo Yuden is generally considered to be the best producer of media out there. They are rarely the cheapest. At one time, Taiyo Yuden manufactured the premium Fuji disks. I don't know if they still do. The key to the stability of the Taiyo Yuden disk seems to be their consistency in their dye formulation. It is usually the fading dyes of CDR and DVDR disk that cause them to become unreadable. If you want a good deal on Taiyo Yuden, look in the stores for Fuji disks manufactured in Japan. Those all seem to be Taiyo Yuden disks. Skip the ones made in other countries.

Have you seen both and how do they compare? And back to tiff files for a moment. I referred to the variety of TIFF formats out there. I did some looking and I would suggest TIFF 6.0 Specification with CCITT Group 4 compression, if you are going to use TIFF. CENDI has used that as one of their archival formats for a few years.
