That depends upon your organization and workflow, and what you mean. 

For my organization and workflow with Lightroom (now Lightroom Classic), the 
answer is yes: I could manage all my older photographs with Photos and RAW 
Power easily and not lose any of my finished image processing/rendering work. 
Note the specification of "finished" in that statement… 

This is because, from the very beginning when I started using Lightroom, I 
realized that a parametric editing system was an interpretive, live process … 
the *instructions* on what to do to an original image file is what the LR 
Catalog contains, the original image file is unchanged, so  when LR displays an 
image, it is reading the original image and interpreting it in a display 
preview according to the rendering parameters that you've set. If you open the 
original file with any other application or viewer, those instructions are not 
there and only the original file will be displayed. 

So my workflow rule is that when I reach a point where I consider a rendered 
photograph finished, I export it to a *new* file in a *separate* directory tree 
structure. This "bakes" editing parameters into the pixel values and writes any 
IPTC annotation in the individual files' metadata. Those exported files can be 
opened with any image viewer allowing you to see the results of your work. 

I maintain, then, two LR catalogs: 

- In Progress :: this catalog is what I import original image files with, do my 
rendering work, IPTC annotation, et cetera. 

- Completed Work :: this catalog contains ONLY finished work, no original image 
files, from a separate directory tree of finished work rather than original 
imports. 

To switch to using Photos and RAW Power as my tools, I would create two Photos 
libraries, paralleling the two LR catalogs. One library, the default one, would 
be used the same way "In Progress" is used currently in LR Classic, along with 
RAW Power to do rendering work. 

The other library would contain ONLY the directory tree of finished, rendered 
image files just as the "Completed Work" LR catalog does, and I would use only 
the image management and organizational tools in Photo since this library is 
not intended for image rendering at all; it's a tool for organizing, finding, 
and using the finished photographs outside of the editing/rendering domain. 

In doing such a changeover of tools, I would lose only un-finished editing work 
in the In Progress LR catalog, which I'm perfectly happy to do since if 
something is unfinished it means I haven't done any significant work on it 
anyway. Of course, I would take steps to ensure that all of the IPTC annotation 
data for any unfinished work was saved to disk either in xmp sidecar files or 
embedded into DNG, JPEG, and TIFF files before transitioning to Photos … that 
preserves whatever minimal work I'd done on the original image files (usually 
on-import keywording, identification, location, etc) that I would not want to 
lose. 

All of that data is already embedded in each of the finished photograph files, 
so that library would not require any prep to the "Completed Work" LR catalog's 
files at all.

That said, this almost convinces me to go with Photos, which I have been using 
exclusively in processing my iPhone photos. And I will continue to do so going 
forward, at least for my iPhone photos, and possibly even with photos created 
with a camera. (I still have two, both Fuji, And I’m tempted by the X-E4, for 
which I have one excellent lens.) 

But I still have tons of photos—well, not tons compared to you guys 浪—that have 
been processed and organized with Lightroom. I would want local storage, which 
means the Classic bundle, though it’s very unlikely that I’d use anything but 
Lightroom. But I believe it is $20  month.

Again, thanks to everyone who responded.

2023-06-10 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Oh yes: 

On my mobile devices (iPhone and iPad), I use Snapseed, Affinity Photo, and 
Photos supplemented by RAW Power for image management and rendering. 

- Snapseed is great because it's very easy to learn and use.

- Affinity Photo is a Photoshop replacement. It has versions to run on macOS, 
iOS, and iPadOS, and it handles things that Snapseed cannot. I use it primarily 
to handle edge cases that Snapseed cannot (like Leica M10 Monochrom and 
Hasselblad raw files). 

- Photos is pervasive throughout Apple's OS ecology, provides excellent image 
management capabilities, and RAW Power is a companion app that gives much 
greater access to user control of Apple's image management underlying 
frameworks. It's also available on all Apple OS platforms. 

I'm most impressed with RAW Power used in conjunction with Photos … I could 
actually make that my only image management system for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, 
and dispense with the Adobe, Affinity, and Snapseed software entirely. There's 
no real issue with doing that, just a bit of work to re-organize my 
photographic storage and learn fully the use of Photos and RAW Power, but the 
cost of the Adobe and other software is low enough that I've been too lazy to 
be bothered doing that thus far. :) …  It is, however, a good alternative app 
suite for my needs, should I decide to go that way.

2023-06-10 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
If you've been using an older version of Lightroom for your rendering work,  
the current offering is Lightroom Classic for the same workflow and image 
storage (local storage centric) features. Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile use a 
cloud-based storage mechanism as primary. I don't use Adobe's cloud at all, so 
I've never used them. 

Before Lightroom, I used Photoshop for all my rendering work. Since LR came 
out, I've used it less and less to the point where I have not even installed it 
on my system for at least eight or nine years. 

Photoshop Elements is a simplified, reduced feature version of Photoshop. I've 
never used it; I tried it once and found the 'simplified' user interface very 
off-putting. It is a standalone app and, for me, irrelevant.

The photographer's bundle of Lightoom and Photoshop for $10 per month (with NO 
cloud storage addendum) includes access to both LR and LR Classic, Photoshop, 
Bridge, Premiere Rush, Character Animator, UXP Developer Tools, and a beta Aero 
apps. I pay for this subscription but only install Lightroom Classic. Given how 
much I use it, $10/month is a reasonable deal for that. I guess I could install 
Photoshop if I felt I really needed it, but that hasn't happened. 

I've been on this subscription since the beginning of 2019 and it has worked 
well and consistently, overall, and it keeps up to date with new features and 
developments at no additional charge.

My photography for some time now has been iPhone photography. I’ve considered 
just relying on Apple’s Photos app for editing. But with ought Lightroom I 
assume I’d lose access to the catalogue of photos that have been edited and

OT: What is Art?

2023-01-31 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
Following up on the recent discussion here about what is "art,' there is
an  interesting case between Hermes and and an NFT artist over whether
using Hermes bags in an NFT violates the trademark rights of Hermes or is a
free-standing work of art, (consisting entirely of images of Birkin purses).

Yeah, I've produced some beautiful results with an Argus C-3 and expired film.  
The camera doesn't affect the artistic quality of the photos that you can take, 
but the camera does affect what photos you can take.   Some of my best work is 
taken upwards of ISO 10,000, or hand holding down to 1/10 second.

I'd like to have a backup K-1 body. More than that I'd like more ability 
to actually get out and use my cameras. I've been kind of stuck inside 
(housebound) here for a while.



On 1/14/2023 11:43 PM, Larry Colen wrote:

It was recently observed that there is almost no discussion of Pentax gear, or 
even gear for your Pentax, on this list lately.

Let's get this kick started:  What gear is on your shopping list, or at least 
your wish list? Why do you want it?  Why haven't you bought it yet?

The two major pieces of kit on my "want" list, are the DFA 24-70/2.8, and the 
K-3 III.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've kind of wanted a weather sealed, "fast", 
daily driver lens.  I already have a Tamron 28-70/2.8 and the DFA 28-105/3.5-5.6 which is 
WR.  So I do have weather sealed in that range, and I do have a f/2.8 lens in that range. 
 I also have the 16-50/2.8 which works just fine on my K-3.  So, I already have the 
lenses that pretty much surround that specific bit of functionality.

As to the K-3 III, what I really want would be a K-1 III, a K-1 with all of the 
nifty features they've added to the K-3 III (though I don't really need the 
fancy pentaprism for the larger field of view, because it's already bigger), 
plus a modern sensor.  The K-3 was released almost 7 years ago, I mostly use 
mine these days when I either want a wide angle of view, with a fast lens, or 
when I need the best sensor performance available to me in challenging light.  
I would not be surprised if when you compared the final images, the K-3 III 
sensor outperformed the K-1.

Since a K-1 III isn't available, or even announced, there are a lot of things 
the K-3 III does better than my K-1, but I have barely had a chance to take any 
photos at all the past year, and I haven't really had any chance to photograph 
in conditions where I'm up against the performance limits of either of my 
Pentax camera bodies.  I have very little reason not to hold off on buying a 
K-3 III until either the price drops, or they sell a major upgrade to the K-1.

The 85/1.4 is also kind of on my wish list, but the pricing is such that it 
barely qualifies as an idle fantasy.

Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

2023-01-16 Thread Bill
I'm still being tempted by the new DFA21mm Ltd. What's holding me back is
that I hardly ever use lenses that wide so my A20/2.8 fits my needs.

I would like to see DFA* versions of something in the 35mm range and 120 mm
range. A *35/1.4 and a *120/2 would both have me hitting the buy it now
button at my pusher's store. I find 135 to be longer than I like and
anything shorter, such as a 105 would be too close to the 85/1.4 to be
viable in Pentaxes somewhat small lineup. All that would happen is one lens
would pirate sales from the other.

I'm expecting to see an upgraded K1 announced later this year. I'm
expecting it will be somewhat of an upsized K3III with either a 45mp or
60mp sensor, and that is definitely on my wish list.

For now I'm buying a bigger camera bag.

I shoot 100 percent of my studio work, and about 99 percent of location 
work, with Pentax. It's mostly the K1, with occasional K3 sightings, the 
bulk of the shots with either the FA50 1/4 or the old 77 Ltd. Other 
lenses like the FA35/2 and the FA20-35/4 ride along for use when 
circumstances demand, and I'm satisfied with the results.


That said, and given the question, I wouldn't mind finding the new issue 
43 1/9, as I sold off my old one when times were tight and I miss it.


I also miss the FA80-200/2.8, but I don't know if I'd go out of my way 
to get one. It might be best to leave that one in the fond memories drawer.

Similarly, it's been quite a few years since I worked with Pentax cameras. I do 
still have one Pentax lens … the L39 mount version of the superb 43mm Limited 
(SMC-Pentax-L 43mm f/1.9 Special) which was and is my all-time favorite Pentax 
lens. I use it on my Leica cameras where it never fails to produce superb 
results. 

  Salsa Beargrease custom build :: https://flic.kr/p/2iR8Pe2

And, in general, I have all the equipment I can possibly use … and more … so 
buying more camera equipment is something I only do very very occasionally 
these days, with a lot of thought beforehand.

My preferred lens is the 55-300 PLM, that is very useful for butterflies
and dragonflies.
For this I had to buy the K-70.
The reasons are:
- my K-1 is losing too much resolution with this lens.
- I will never buy a K3-III while I use live view in many situations.
- KP not being available.
APSC is a suitable format for me.
In case there is no follow up with a new K3-III (having tilted screen!) in
time and there was a failure of my gear, I would switch to Fuji such as the
XT5.

Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

2023-01-15 Thread Rick Womer
I’m actually content with my gear. I really like my K-5 and have no desire to 
buy a newer body. 

I do wish that my 17-70 was weatherproof, or that my wife’s 18-85 was wider at 
the short end. Oh, and that my 80-320 was sharper.

The 24-70/2.8 is my most used “normal” lens. It’s a reliable workhorse and 
quite sharp even wide open. I too would like the K3-3, but at my age I can’t 
spend like I once did, so my K-3 and K-1 will suffice.

RE: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

2023-01-14 Thread jcoyle
There is not really anything I want: I'm not very active photographically 
anyway, and my kit encompasses the range 16-500mm, fit
both my film and digital cameras (at least those with a bayonet mount) and for 
older cameras I have enough lens for my occasional
use, ranging from 18-135mm.  Were this not the case, I'd probably have to 
refamiliarise myself with what is current, but I am not
sure that the photography I actually do would significantly benefit from newer 
gear - I use a K5ii and an MZ-S mainly, with
occasional forays into film with an SV, a Spotmatic, or a  Rolleicord.
Which is why I have seldom got  into gear discussions...

To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List 
Subject: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

It was recently observed that there is almost no discussion of Pentax gear, or 
even gear for your Pentax, on this list lately.

Let's get this kick started:  What gear is on your shopping list, or at least 
your wish list? Why do you want it?  Why haven't you
bought it yet?

The two major pieces of kit on my "want" list, are the DFA 24-70/2.8, and the 
K-3 III.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've kind of wanted a weather sealed, "fast", 
daily driver lens.  I already have a Tamron 28-70/2.8
and the DFA 28-105/3.5-5.6 which is WR.  So I do have weather sealed in that 
range, and I do have a f/2.8 lens in that range.  I
also have the 16-50/2.8 which works just fine on my K-3.  So, I already have 
the lenses that pretty much surround that specific bit
of functionality.

As to the K-3 III, what I really want would be a K-1 III, a K-1 with all of the 
nifty features they've added to the K-3 III (though
I don't really need the fancy pentaprism for the larger field of view, because 
it's already bigger), plus a modern sensor.  The K-3
was released almost 7 years ago, I mostly use mine these days when I either 
want a wide angle of view, with a fast lens, or when I
need the best sensor performance available to me in challenging light.  I would 
not be surprised if when you compared the final
images, the K-3 III sensor outperformed the K-1.  

Since a K-1 III isn't available, or even announced, there are a lot of things 
the K-3 III does better than my K-1, but I have barely
had a chance to take any photos at all the past year, and I haven't really had 
any chance to photograph in conditions where I'm up
against the performance limits of either of my Pentax camera bodies.  I have 
very little reason not to hold off on buying a K-3 III
until either the price drops, or they sell a major upgrade to the K-1.  

The 85/1.4 is also kind of on my wish list, but the pricing is such that it 
barely qualifies as an idle fantasy.

PESO: Maui Blog 8: What is it?

2022-01-30 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
I spotted this object across the street from our resort, near the beach
parking lot.
( can't quite figure out what it is;  perhaps an art installation of some
sort?

One interesting detail about Nikon mounts is that they nearly fit on Pentax, 
The bayonet doesn’t click in, but you can attach it solidly enough to take a 
photo.  

I’ve played that game before.

The old adage that any group that will let me join and all that.
My problem is more with the Facebook, Instagram, Twitters and that sort of
social media.
They seem to bring out the very worst in people and enable the very worst
people.

Too much social media is proof that a person has no life to begin with.

Having said that, I have been practicing social distancing since 1957, I
realize that I am not exactly mainstream.

I have a wonderful cheat, an app called Pulse.  It allows me to send texts from 
my computer (actually anything I have on the net).  

It does not work, however, on iPhones because apple doesn’t do conventional 
SMS, and doesn’t allow any app but iMessages on their IOS devices.

Re: Warning, careful what you click on

2021-02-20 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Yes, I received the same. 

On macOS, all you need to do is hover the mouse pointed over the link and the 
Finder will display the complete text of the link in a pop-up. You can 
instantly see whether it is what it purports to be that way. If you don't 
understand what the link's text is, it's best to just delete the email 
entirely, and send an email or whatever flavor of comm msg you like to the 
person who purportedly send the email and ask them if they sent it to you… 

Nothing to be worried about it if you just use a little normal precaution 
before clicking on things willy-nilly.

(Since I strongly doubt that Paul would send me an email with that kind of 
content directly and personally, rather than through a group post or a post to 
PDML, I just deleted the email without looking at it very closely... :) )

The one I got had an https with a youtube tease and an address that 
ended in .ru


as long as you don't follow links in messenger you are safe..
my rule of thumb in facebook is never to open any message from any 
friend unless the
tease line (that shows in the notification panel)  is very specific and 
in the "voice" of the sender..
"look what I found" was what the tease said in the message from Paul's 
account.


sometimes you really do want to send someone a message privately so I 
think most of us know
to put something very specific in the first few words of the message 
which the person getting it

can recognize it as really you.

Someone used it to steal Paul’s facebook password and use that to phish all his

I don't recall the previous conversation, sorry. 

When I want to upload something from my desktop system (Mac mini) to Instagram, 
I output a square or 4:3 format landscape JPEG for that purpose and shunt it to 
my iPhone via AirDrop. Then I open the Instagram app and add all the image 
files I want to upload as a batch. 

It's quick and easier than dealing with the IG stuff on the desktop for me. :)

Re: What PENTAX Values Most in Future Cameras - more info on new APS-C flagship

2020-08-01 Thread Rick Womer
I am very happy with my K-5, but am still looking forward to the K-new (as 
usual, I will wait a year before buying so that other people can identify the 
bugs).

I would very much like an articulating rear screen, though. I have missed some 
close-to-ground-level macro shots because there wasn’t room, or too much mud, 
to stretch out to see the screen. I have shot several events where it would 
have been very useful for over-the-heads shots, too.

My wife has a K-70, and I like the size and weight, but I find the user 
interface difficult unless one just wants straight “auto”.

Re: What PENTAX Values Most in Future Cameras - more info on new APS-C flagship

2020-08-01 Thread P. J. Alling
It depends on your vision of state of the art, as I've said, while I 
don't have anything against an adjustable rear screen, either the one on 
the back of the K-1 or the fully articulating screen on, K-70 and K-P, 
but, it is more fragile and therefor something else you can break, and I 
seem to be able to break nearly anything.


It would be more convenient, but given the the cost of a K70 these days, 
(or it's upcoming successor), I think I'd get a one of them for whenever 
I really needed to use the flip out screen and use the solid body camera 
most of the time to lessen my chances of breaking the screen completely 
off, (I'm surprised I've never broken the pop up flash off a camera, but 
heck, I have several with that device and the day is still young).

There is a follow-up video from Ricoh/Pentax.
The new APS-C is claimed to have a new penta-prism, improved grip, new
shutter, better image quality and also a silver model (also for star
lenses and K-1 mark II)
No details on date of introduction.
I still have no clue on whether the back LCD panel is fixed or not.

Having watched the video, I very much doubt that the back pane moves.
Unfortunately.

You’ve hit on a famous French homonym!

Un sot avait pour mission de faire parvenir le sceau d'un seigneur à son roi. 
Il le mit dans un seau et partit à cheval. Le cheval fit un saut et les trois ( 
le sot + le sceau + le seau) tombèrent !

Larry, I didn't think of that phrase ("Qu'est-ce que c'est).
It must be Spanish that displaced it from my active memory.


 Larry Colen Wed, 29 Jul 2020 12:29:42 -0700 wrote:

Quis que c'est.






Dan, That's a good point!

Kiska together with Alaska was a part of Russian fur-trading outposts 
since 1775.

Kiska was sold by Russia to the US together with Alaska in 1867.
This toponym in Aleut is "Qisxa". But I am not sure which way that name 
propagated. However, what's interesting is that Kiska is one of the 
so-called "Rat Islands" that were named so in 1827 first in Russian, then 
directly translated into English, - because of the accidentally introduced 
rats that were eradicated in 2009(!).


I wonder if there was any connection between the kitty ("kiska") and the 
rats...



As for "kishka", actually, it means intestine (the original meaning) in 
some Slavic languages.
My understanding is that the naming of the sausage with that word in some 
of those languages is secondary, - as the intestines (of pigs and 
cows?) were used as sausage casings.
