Thanks for the clear explanation, Mark! I tried printing the same file twice in Relative Colorimetric. Once with Black Point Compensation on and once with it off.

Re: Printing question
Relative colorimetirc maps out of gamut colors to the nearest in gamut color in the desintation color space. Perceptual maps out of gamut colors into the destination color space and also shifts other colors to preserve the relative differences between them. Relative Colorimetiric could result in blocked up colors or a loss of color separation, but it preserves the accuracy of in gamut colors. With Perceptual Colorimetric colors retain their relation with each other and avoid getting blocked up, but there can a loss of color accuracy throughout the image. A photo of vibrant flowers might look blocked up printed with relative colorimetric, but a photo of a person holding the flowers might have weird skin tones with perceptual. In the tests I did I didn't see much difference between relative and perceptual with Epson K3 inks and glossy or luster paper. I saw slight differences with Epson enhanced matte paper and preferred perceptual. I assume the photo papers and PK inks have a broader gamut than the matte paper and MK ink.

Re: Problem with gmail.
Dale, I already have my gmail accounts set to allow less secure apps to connect. Which port are you using. I'm using the suggested port of 995. Still getting "failed to connect to server pop.gmail.com" when attempting to download messages. I haven't used Eudora in years but since you seem to have it working I think I'll give it a whirl. Funny thing is I'm not getting any messages about blocked attempts. It just fails to connect. Strangely everything was working as expected until May 3, when the last message downloaded was received at 12:02 AM. Maybe years of working in IT have made me paranoid, but that seems like just the date and time for a software feature to be disabled. Usually some notification is given to users but this is Google we're dealing with here. It would surely help if Thunderbird had a logging feature that could be easily enabled, but if it does it's well hidden. The previous instructions on connecting to the the gmail pop server seem to have disappeared from the Thunderbird help pages. both at Mozilla and Google. Only imap instructions are currently available for Thunderbird. There are only generic instructions for using the pop server, though the settings are those I'm already using. Now the unfortunate thing... Mozilla is the sole support, such as it is, for Eudora, to use it I have to uninstall Thunderbird. What version of Eudora are you using? What platform? If it's not Windows even that might not solve my problem. On Sat, May 5, 2018 at 5:51 AM, Dale H. Cook wrote: > Okay, here's the deal.

Advice at various stages
On that other timesuck, someone once asked what advice you’d give to dancers that have 1-3 years of experience. People could most benefit from different advice at different stages of their learning process.What advice would you give to people at different stages of learning photography? Just the concept of “new can have many shades of meaning: New to photography, or new to taking their photography seriously. New to digital photography. New to taking photos with a DSLR, rather than a camera. The next step seems to be having learned the basics of manual controls and processing raw files. After that, is often studio lighting. What about the photographer who has worked for many years and feels that their growth as a photographer has hit a plateau? What advice would you give someone at any of these stages (or any others that come to mind) of their photography? What important things did you learn along the way that really helped? -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Estúpido
A while back I raved about the images i was getting with my iPhone. So I was disappointed when I started reviewing images from one of my longest hikes in Big Bend Bend National Park, through landscape that is distinctive even for Big Bend. The focus on almost all 265 of the images is uniformly lousy. I was reassured however when I checked the images from another special hike, again almost all taken with my iPhone. I use the Manual app, which enables shooting in either manual or autofocus mode. My guess is that I set focus to auto focus without realizing it and never checked throughout the hike. A sample image from the first hike, on the Marufo Vega trail, in the southeast corner of the Park. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/27039162517/in/album-72157696472321585/lightbox/ And one from the other hike, to the South Rim of the Chisos Mountains, in the center of the Park. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/41009079135/in/album-72157690703853270/lightbox/ A lesson you would think I had learned long before this.

If you don't like "distilled bog water" there is Irish whiskey; triple distilled to remove any trace of terroir, but very smooth.

Re: Problem with gmail.
Okay, here's the deal. Even though my POP3 settings for all three Gmail accounts are using SSL with the alternate port I still had to sign into Gmail for each account, open the message with the subject "Review blocked sign-in attempt" and choose to allow access to less secure apps. I am now getting POP3 email from all three accounts. I am not worried that Google does not think that those accounts are secure - I never use them for anything sensitive anyway, just as I never use either of my Yahoo addresses for anything sensitive. My Gmail and Yahoo addresses are, for me, the email equivalent of burner phones. Dale H.

This is decidedly strange. I'm suddenly no longer able to retrieve my messages from the gmail pop server using Thunderbird. I can still send them using the smpt server, but I have to read them on the gmail web page. Anyone else having this problem? -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.
