Nothing has changed aside from the fact that many of the things that can and do go wrong are now readily tweakable using the press of a few buttons rather than a jewelers toolbox full of specialized implements of destruction. Add to that the fact that the whole film side of the darkroom is now contained in the camera if desired, or can be moved to a mundane PC and the whole print side to a common inkjet printer, and you have a recipe for a new golden age of photography. -Tom More people doing photography does not mean that average standards will improve.

Re: Running Vista?
Mark, What makes one interface superior to another? I run XP configured to classic style with no animations or sound effects at home. At work I am forced to use XP in all it's XPness. The animations just slow things down too much when I know exactly what I want to make happen. I'd love to kill the sound effects that to my ear come far too long after the action is performed to have any sort of meaning. And I will never prefer a control panel that divides things up. That said I'm usually the person people turn to for help in configuring things. On the current topic, I'm considering a new laptop in the near future and am looking for news on how Vista works. My present preference is for a high power tablet convertible like the Fujitsu T4215.

Re: Running Vista?
Leon, I do the same, exactly :) Well, prefering the new interface with all the nice things and all or the classic speedier one is of course down to the guy using the PC. I admit I turn everything off in XP but keep the Aero Glass interface under Vista. Somehow Aero is less intrusive (for me) than XP with themes etc. What I find annoying in Vista the quest to get my menus back. I hate not having menus on every window. It is ugly but somuch faster to use menus. On another POV (performances... I only have the beta2, not the final) it seems OK really. If you have 10GB and 1GB ram for the OS only (Lightroom on Vista might require 2GB ram easily) then it seems to me Vista is perfectly usable, if your usual softwares are OK under Vista. 2007/2/20, Leon Altoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mark, What makes one interface superior to another?

lightroom performance :: problems on a PC, etc
Having this conversation on DPReview.com and I thought it would be a useful FYI for folks here: John Bean was experiencing performance problems with Lightroom 1.0 on his PC systems and found a tidbit from the Adobe forums that explains a lot of it ... Lightroom is heavily optimized to use SSE2 capable processors. Since I didn't know what that meant, I looked it up and found a useful description of SSE2 on wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2 The notional equivalent of SSE2 capability on Apple systems first surfaced on the PowerPC G4 cpu models (AltiVec) and was massively upgraded/enhanced on the PowerPC G5s. Apple's Intel-based CPUs all have SSE2 capability. This explains to me why Lightroom has more performance problems on Windows systems compared to Mac OS X and answers why some have found the beta release near to unusable when my experience, all on Apple systems, was very positive regards to performance. John goes on to say ...Any other AMD users be aware that the earliest AMD CPUs to have SSE2 are the Athlon 64s. Anything earlier - forget it unless you only have tiny image collections or a massive amounts of patience. PS: giving the system more resources definitely helps, but not enough to be workable with image libraries over about 10k. ... --- Lightroom is also very disk intensive: tt pushes a lot of data back and forth to the disk in operation ... a fast disk and a lot of free space to work with help performance enormously.

hi, sunny 16 rule isnt about using meters, (Ok, maybe it's similar to incident meters, but certainly not in camera meters which are all reflective, rather than incident). Snow scenes are a special situation for any type of metering, 1- due the the reflective properties of the snow bouncing extra light on your normal subject, and 2- if your actually trying to capture snow details (which is going to severely darken everything else, that case is not really a typical sunny daylight exposure value. jco -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David J Brooks Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 8:02 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: What EI are you getting for your Pentax DSLR using sunny F16 rule?

At my work we have to count bytes very carefully. Our product has to analyze objects with tens or even hundreds of millions of entities in real time, the representation of those entities has to be very compact, otherwise you can run out of memory quickly. The inner most loop of the program itself has to be extremely efficient, otherwise an inefficiency somewhere can cost hours of CPU time.

Re: Camera Raw 3.7 is Here
Hmmm..5 minutes to fix seems rather optomistic. I suppose if your only goal is unique filenames, that may be feasible. At least from my perspective, I want the original raw name and subsequent alterations to carry the same name. So when I think of all the images that have been archived off to DVD's and perhaps needing to rename all of them, the task seems much longer than 5 minutes. The other issue is coming up with a naming convention that aids in organization. IMGPx doesn't really help much. By taking the time during download to put some meaningful names to the files alleviates the problem for later and also gives you a leg up on organization. Of course, I have no idea what your shooting/organizing is like so I could blowing smoke. At least for me - shooting weddings, portraits, kid's sports, etc - organization is very important. -- Bruce Tuesday, February 20, 2007, 2:58:14 AM, you wrote: RB I have no problem dealing with it, and you are right that the options RB arent tough - but I would rather spend 5 minutes dealing with it once RB every 4-5 years than have to do it every time I download images from a RB card.

Our product has to analyze objects with tens or even hundreds of millions of entities in real time, the representation of those entities has to be very compact, otherwise you can run out of memory quickly.

RE: Camera Raw 3.7 is Here
Like I said, different needs. My shots are all for me and sequential ordering is perfect for my family shots as it keeps them in date sequence. I take probably 1000 shots in a year on average, maybe 2000 at most. I no longer back up to DVD with a view to later retrieval due to the instability of the format and the cheapness of external HDDs - I use two 500Gb External Hard Drives (one kept at home, one at work) to backup all the content on my PC periodically and the structure mirrors exactly that on the PC which is: All RAW Files in one folder All High Res JPGs in two folders - one for family pics and the other for my suff like landscapes etc. if there are multiple versions of a RAW conversion I will add a suffix letter or word, retaining the original filename. All low res JPGs for the wife to email out etc in another folder. Only time I deviate from this is if I temporarily want to separate out a bunch of stuff for printing but I usually dump it or merge it back afterwards. All I would do is once every 5 years rename IMGPx.yyy to IMGPax.yyy in a couple of years for these four folders on the three drives and I am good to go for another 5, 6 or 7 years after which I can rename the newer lot to IMGPbx.yyy and continue till the cameras are replaced with something that uses a different filename. If I were doing jobs I would want to categorise things separately and organising in the way you do, but that just isnt necessary for my throughput apart from which I am lazy on day to day tasks like this!

Re: lightroom performance :: problems on a PC, etc
Because many system do run XP well enough but do not provide SSE2 support. Example: my wife's ultraportable has a 866 Pentium3 cpu with 384MB and 30GB disk. Sure a bit more ram and newer disk would do magic, it still runs quite comfortably about any normal software + a couple of not that old games. But it does not supports SSE2 and so would be VERY slow witth Lightroom. But I didn't know Lightroom was that much optimized for SSE2 and it really explains why my desktop PC was s slow running Lightroom: AMD AthlonXP 2GHz with 768MBram and 200GB disk. Still OK PC isn't it? Not for Lightroom. AthlonXP only provide support for SSE and not SSE2 nor SSE3/4. To stay simple and know what CPU will provide SSE2: * Intel: Any Pentium4 or derivates (including Celeron, Xeon based on P4) and Pentium-M and derivates (Core Duo etc). * AMD: Opteron, Athlon64 and Sempron (only Sempron based on Athlon64, some were based on AthlonXP) And BTW GHz doesn't mean anything anymore. A 2GHZ AMD AthlonXP will usually eat for lunch a Pentium4 2GHz (except e.g. in Lightroom 'cos SSE2) but this 2GHz AMD will gets kicked by CoreDuo 2GHz.

Tom, Well seen! I like it enough to feel it's worth trying a couple manipulations. I think the weight of the heavier foreground grass in the is distracting. Also, this is the kind of image that should isolate the primary element in the center of the frame. (horizontally, at least, if you have any more on the left) Believe I'd try cropping the bottom leaving the right upper edge of the foreground grass which I'd then clone out.

Re: PESO: IIIIIIIIIIIII
Dave, Godfrey, Norm, Rob, Gonz, JCO Ann Thanks for the kind comments suggestions, Ann, I usually feel the same way, but somehow this time I like the BW better, I mean the composition is the same, but to me in this particular case the BW emphasizes the structure and the chunks of ice, and adds some sort of timeless feeling (sorry have a tendency of getting poetic on mondays...). ;-) But, here's the color conversion (this was with silkypix memory color 2 IIRC before my trial expired) I'm not planing to work on it (cuz I like the BW) but it would probably need to be converted again with some white balance correction (the blue cast is actually more true to how the scene looked that day at that time anyway).

It's interesting to hear you ponder whether the white balance needs adjustment or the blue cast is preferable, as I sometimes struggle with the same kind of decision. I suppose it all depends on the preference and wish of the photographer. In this case I think the natural bluish cast works well and emphasizes the biting coldness.

Re: Camera Raw 3.7 is Here
People can get carried away by the search for performance. As a rough-and-ready rule of thumb I don't generally bother to try too hard for anything less than a factor of two in speed, especially if doing so would add to the complexity of the code. Avoid obvious inefficiencies, of course, and try to use an approach that optimizes data locality. But structuring the inner loop of an algorithm to match today's processors (or, even worse, writing it in assembly code) is generally a bad idea - modern compilers generally attain within 10% of the optimal instruction stream (and know how best to change this when processor design changes). And, of course, you need to know where to focus your effort. I've just redesigned one (particularly bad) implementation to get about two orders of magnitude in performance. I'm sure that with another week of effort I could probably get another factor of two (or maybe three) out of this code, at a significant cost in clarity (and risk of obscure bugs). But I'm not going to bother, because the current design is now only about 1/3 of the total processing time (instead of dominating everything). Even if I reduced the time that is spent in this code to nothing, that would still only net about 25%-30% of a performance gain in the total system.
