let's see.... Just passed 1000 posts so i need to find that club and sign up.
The mower is on a trickle-charge because my dad sat there and cranked it yesterday untill it died instead of having me fix it.
watching and lightly rooting for the baylor under-dogs. but i don't care either way, i don't have a bracket.

Yesterday i bought a kayak, might go start another thread on that subject.

What kayak did you get?

AH-HA! See!? That's what was happening to me before with 598. Prolly the same ol' business. I dunno. It's being gay.


Hey question about the 40-post pages... normally when you click the little arrow next to the thread title on the UserCP (subscribed threads with new posts), it will take me to the newest unread post in that thread, but it doesn't quite seem to be working in the 40-post view. Is it just because the site isn't working right tonight, or does that never work for you either?

Never had a problem like that. Just tried it and it seems to be working fine. I think the mods are messing with us.

BTW, I just click the link in my email instead of the subscribed threads. It's easier and faster, IMO.

RAW is like a digital negative. You have a lot of flexibility to edit parameters within a raw file. You can change exposure settings, etc in a raw file and then you "develop" it into a .tiff, .jpeg, etc.

A jpeg file can be high res. It is a format used to scale down the file size of a graphic or photo. It is lossy, though. Which means that each time you edit and save a jpeg file it loses some quality. Save your raw files as .tiffs when you develop them. Tiffs are large files but don't degrade.

Haha, yep that's why I changed my camera setting to take both RAW pictures and jpeg fine...I just forgot why.

I haven't dabbled much with the editing aspect yet, but I have a couple of TB external hard drives I can put my pictures on, so I have time to figure it out.

woohoo Im a rifleman! first AQT as well. I think I can get a better score after my hand and leg heals up...getting into position and holding the rifle was a killer on my ankle and wrist..but I made myself bear through it.

Totally

Glad to be back!

Here's a photo I took... then I turned it into a painting of sorts in Photoshop...

Big what version do you have? I have XI and still have my old original Jasc Paintshop 6.0 that occasionally use.

 

[mk2ja]

That's a low res version... I'll have to see about a higher res version.

I'm looking forward to high-res versions I have a pretty good collection of sweet high-res wallpapers that cycle through every so many minutes, and I'd love to add yours if you're down for it!

Man... just tried to make a deal on some ammo in the Classifieds, but the DB sold it to somebody else before me! What a DB!









hehe, sorry SE, couldn't resist!

I use Gimp. I'm not chancing using my version of Photoshop....

On pages that have graphics it sometimes messes up due to the load of the pics.

What a JERK! We should Firebase that SOB before he REALLY messes up!

FFS, Big, who still uses .jpg and .tiff?

.PNG FTGDW, man.

Portable Network Graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

.PNG FOREVER!

Lossless, relatively low filesize, allows transparency, no image artifacts, and it supports compression and color schemes up to 24-bit.

.tiff... get that trash outta here, please.
There's no need for it unless one plans on working with 32-bit or greater color depths, or unless you're a REALLY finicky graphic artist, and even then the advantages aren't great. Tagging is nice, setting parameters are nice, but there's nothing in metadata that cannot be handled by an external application. *glove slap* J'accuse!

RAW to .png. Simple, lossless, and in almost all cases, no color depth degradation.

Bigum, those pics are very good!

Yeah, I've always wondered why PNG seems to be such a well-kept secret, too.
