It's true, for example, a picture that has a large expanse of sky with a subtle gradiation.. if you start messing with the curves (adjusting brightness, contrast, etc), you will start seeing banding in the sky pretty quickly, but if you're working in 16 bit mode, you won't have this problem. This is also the reason we work with camera RAW files instead of JPEG's, there's just a lot more data in the files. (I'm a part time/semi-pro photographer, so I spend a lot of time in Photoshop). Actually since we're on the topic, this is one reason I don't use GIMP, I find that the algorithms in Photoshop are much better and keep your image in tact better when doing adjustments.
You could water mark like that, but I suspect that if anyone re-saves the image as JPG (due to resizing or whatever), the JPG compression will probably throw away that data.
Forgive my ignorance, but how is this possible? Does this mean that the drives understand NTFS and are actually zeroing out data on the drive when the OS simply deletes the entry from the FAT table? How can the SSD second guess what the OS is doing? I thought that SSD's use the same interface as regular HD's and should behave the same.

Yep, we felt it too (Mississauga, just west of Toronto). I thought it was a stress related dizzy spell for a second!
This, my friends, is why we don't buy used iPhones.
I've taken my guitar in.
You're saying with a straight face you want to fork the gimp?
It's not just about dynamic range, it's also about manipulating the image without degrading it due to rounding errors.
Wait a sec, so the gas is the internet and my car is the browser? Or the car is the computer and the gas cap is the browser? I'm so confused.
This must be why I don't read the articles.
