Hi Julian, What you say below matches my understanding, and, I believe, what I've said throughout this discussion. Though, I haven't seen RMS used in a DR equation. None of the reference material I have, for audio, signal processing, and engineering in general use RMS for DR...but that doesn't

Slides and negatives have only density ranges inherently, not dynamic ranges. So you claim film has no inherent noise, in and of it self, unless you are viewing it? Does the noise of music recorded on a CD not exist until it isn't being played? I think you're being really obscure

If you want to handle more than 4 GB cleanly, you'll have to go to a 64-bit architecture (which is coming, but isn't quite here yet). Excuse me? Maybe it's not there in the PC world, but a 16Exabyte address space *is* addressable on a mainframe! (With ease, I might add.) Regards, Barbara

Austin - of course RMS measurement applies to dynamic range. I think the fact that you say this points to where your view differs from the rest of the world, but I'm damned if I can work out how... Remember the definition from the book *you* posted and *you* agree with: the Dynamic Range
