OT Squirrels and bird feeders

[Larry Colen]

The closest this comes to being on topic is that Paul has a bird feeder, but 
it’s still fun.

Sure, but you only need to do it once. Your position on this issue has been the 
same and repeated every time the issue surfaces for, oh, at least five years 
now. Do you think anyone here needs to hear it yet again?

And the issue didn't even surface this time. You brought it up out of nowhere. 
I was trying to help Paul with his problems, which I have not seen myself but 
which I have some surrounding context in the form of others I know who are 
working with the same equipment and not experiencing a problem.

My personal finances are not only just as irrelevant as your beef and none of 
your business as well. 

I agree: there isn't a simple replacement for some things. And the issues that 
brings up get compounded when you don't stay on top of the fast changing world 
in which these kinds of things have their life cycle. 

For instance, I had one device that I was using rather a lot, and it was 
somewhat expensive. When it became incompatible with an OS revision, I called 
the vendor and explained the situation I was seeing in detail. My interest in 
keeping them up to date and providing explicit, clear documentary evidence 
provoked them to realize that it was important, and they discovered that the 
fix was a single build system option and a minor bit of error guarding around a 
critical piece of the code at a couple of points…. All recommended things that 
were in the guidelines that Apple publishes, btw. So they rebuilt the software, 
sent it to me for testing, and then distributed the fix via their normal 
channels when it proved to work just right.

If I'd not contacted them and worked with them on the problem, and no one else 
had, they might have perceived it to be of no real value to put the effort in 
and it would have dropped off their visibility scenario. If they'd then have 
investigated bringing things up to date four or five major revisions later, 
well, it's quite likely the changes would have required a wholly larger amount 
of work, and the number of users in the community would have dwindled into the 
unprofitable range by then. As it was, they got an extra couple of years out of 
that product before phasing in a new one, and users of the existing product got 
a few more years of use out of it. I phased it out of the work I was doing in 
favor of other devices over the course of a year.

I always keep up to date, and age out things that are no longer 
supported/getting long in the tooth when it seems appropriate to do so under 
the circumstances I'm working in. And I work with the software and hardware 
vendors when I have to to ensure that they understand the problems, and have a 
decent shot at fixing them economically and quickly. 

I've been doing this for the past thirty-six years. It seems to work out really 
well for me. I don't just snarl, "Damn Apple" and hope that another solution 
will surface cheaply in a year or more, and stay moribund with old stuff while 
waiting. It's what I call 'being proactive' vs 'being reactive'. 

Good luck with your future move to Linux. I'm sure there'll be no problems 
there at all.

Re: Strange PS Issue

[Daniel J. Matyola]

It's more likely that happened in LR.  When I open a DNG image in PS, the
image first is sent to LR, where I make some adjustments, before "Opening"
it in PS.
I have to check the options in LR.  Thanks for the hint.

We had our first thunderstorm since he came to live with me. He didn't like it

Gee, time really flies these days. Five years already since Catalina was
presented in June 2019...

For some there's even no replacement at all.


For instance, I had one device that I was using rather a lot, and it was

Been there, done that. Just two examples for products which I'm using
all the time:

https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/catalog/product/view/id/40/s/headzone-pro-xt/

I've spoken to Beyerdynamic and there'll be no drivers for OSX versions
beyond Mojave. There is nothing comparable on the market.

I have thousands of audio files (soundscapes, live recordings)
catalogued in Media Pro. With channel allocations, locations, settings,
keywords, descriptions, the lot. Used to be sold by Microsoft and later
by Phase One/Heidelberg Systems. No 64 bit version. There's nothing else
with comparable functionality available. Some database programs for
record collectors and a few others for samples used by musicians. Of no
use to me.

Someone should come up with some kind of Lightroom for audio. Until then
I'm afraid I'll be stuck with what I have.

In lightroom, one of the export options is to strip exif data.  Maybe you 
accidentally clicked a similar box in PS, somewhere along the way.

Strange PS Issue

[Daniel J. Matyola]

For some reason, I wanted to upload my Mini Iris image to my gallery on the
Pentax Photo Gallery.

When I tried to upload it from my MAC laptop, I got an error message:  "Not
a Pentax Camera."  WTF?  That's all I use, except for my iPhone, and this
was not an iPhoto.

I checked the image info and, sure enough, no mention of the camera used.
I went to the original DNG file, and the info was there.  I uploaded the
raw file to PS, and it first went to LR, which is fine, but then PS would
only let me save the edited image as a psd file, which the PPG will not
accept.  I converted the psd file to jpg, and again, all camera info was
wiped out.

After several frustrating attempts to solve or work aroung the problem, in
desperation I emailed the DNG file to myself, downloaded it onto my PC, and
opened it there with PSE 9.  No problem;  I could save it as a jpeg
directly from PSE9, and all the camera infor was preserved.

Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?  I am 99% positive that I
uploaded the other images from that card, also in DNG format, to PS on my
Mac, and everything worked fine.  but not this image;  not today.
