Silly question: How do you do multiple conversions from RAW? Is that an embedded JPG within the RAW file?
Just that Lightroom just overwrites the previous JPG for me, replacing the whole file rather than updating it. I don't use embedded JPGs though, I just publish when needed.
My RAW files on the other hand will show multiple edits on multiple days. I take the photo, I load it into Lightroom (which changes it), I apply my own changes, I may come back another day and apply other changes. I may make a virtual copy so that I can have two different photographs from the same RAW (e.g. different crops, B&W vs Colour, different contrast curvers, etc).
No idea how any of that impacts the XMP data though:)
Love the way you conflate "the mid to late 1980's" with Eternal September.
I only started using the 'net in 1991 and it was still painfully apparent when September came. Even then wasn't as bad as Cantor and Siegel; at least the unwashed masses were merely ignorant.
Interesting. If you want to work for the successful companies I've worked for, you need to be intelligent.
People with non-technical degrees still qualify. I can teach someone intelligent to program a hell of a lot more easily than I can teach some muppet with a technical degree.
The basics of programming are logical thinking. That's an approach to problem solving that primarily adds value through introducing objectivity and supplemental purely emotional decision making.
Even artists benefit from multiple modes of thinking.
Yeah, I know a couple of people on lithium and it has switched them from attempting suicide to instead kind of just getting on with life.
I think people are better off diagnosed. Just knowing that you aren't an obnoxious anti-social twat but instead suffering from something that makes you an obnoxious anti-social twat makes it easier to cope with. Behavioural therapies can be targeted and ineffective pharmaceutical treatments can be avoided.
Being "different" is far easier to deal with if you're medically acknowledged as such, even if it can't be fixed.
Governments do not take your money. You vote them in and they collect taxes to do the stuff you elected them to do. If your guy didn't win, well that can suck
Yeah, it sucks because the fuckwit that did get voted in TOOK my money and fucking wasted it trying to buy votes to get re-elected.

Don't even fucking pretend this is in any way my fault. Except that I didn't just kill the twats to save the rest of the country. Sorry about that.
Ouch. You mean people are forced to pay for subscription TV? They can't just.. turn the damn thing off and go read a book instead?
Given the choice, I'd rather have access to the Internet than access to TV. That's even without the ease of acquiring television programming via the Internet.
Curious. Why is it an 'idiot box'? Why not an 'education source', an 'entertainment provider' or an 'insomnia aid'?
Why do you assume that only idiots watch it and/or only idiotic content is available for it?
Why do you think 8 hours a week is worse than 20 hours a year? If it's that bad, surely 0 hours would be more appropriate?
Perhaps you could explain your alternate sources of entertainment? Do you go to the theatre, to the opera, go clubbing, take walks in the countryside, play sport, watch sport, play computer games, read books, go dancing or rape and murder prostitutes of an evening?
Just that.. none of those are in any way superior to (and most of them easily done by) watching an 'idiot box'.
you can't watch live sporting events over the internet jackass
Last weekend I was watching the final of the World Championships over the internet. It was on tv too.
Tomorrow I'll be watching live football over the Internet.
In a few weeks time I'll be both watching live cricket over the internet, and listening to a live commentary over the internet from a different source to the video.
Live sport over the Internet? Of course you fucking can.
Yeah. I don't own Photoshop and wouldn't buy it if it were available outright for $20, let alone $20/month.
Paint.net meets almost all of my needs. Occasionally I flip into GIMP, but very very rarely.
Where neither are capable is camera RAW image editing, and photo manipulation. Luckily Photoshop isn't as good at that as several far cheaper alternatives, one of which Adobe sells.
So yeah, Paint.NET is excellent and the first recommendation I give to people seeking a good quality image editor.
For many professional photographers, Lightroom (available separately) provides better tools for photo manipulation and cataloging.
I hate Adobe. I hate them for their CS pricing models (even pre-cloud), for their inability to create a good PDF reader, for the way they demand flash updates on startup, for being utter contemptible cunts in almost everything they do.
Except Lightroom. I love Lightroom. If they ever cloudify Lightroom then I will cry.
Especially if they charge £10/month for it. Right now I'm happy to pay £60 every year or so to upgrade it, but that's half the price of the subscription.
I'm also distinctly distrustful of the whole cloud thing. I'm not seeing any value there. Shit, uploading 200 16MB photos (taken on Sunday) just to filter through and delete 160 of them (hey, I'm a crap photographer) is not a great use of my bandwidth.
Slashdot Mirror
Doesn't Adobe allow you to convert your RAW to DNG? Will that also convert your JPGs to DNG?
Some cameras produce DNG as their RAW format, so it must count. It's just going to look a bit shitty as it came from a JPG.
(For what it's worth, I publish 100% quality JPGs. They're not as good as RAWs, but for most uses they're pretty adequate)

The tragedy for me is that they never got to experience life
You and I have different definitions of "tragedy".

Simple. Don't buy fucking Apple tablets or smartphones.
Actively fucking over your kids is a personal choice, not a societal issue.
Why are people (including you) so incapable of differentiating between classification and treatment.
Classification of mental abnormalities: Good. For so many different reasons.
Abusively using that classification to extort money from potentially vulnerable people through application of potentially unnecessary treatment: Bad.
So your comment on psychiatrists' business models is totally fucking irrelevant to the efficacy of DSM-V
Yeah, I know a couple of people on lithium and it has switched them from attempting suicide to instead kind of just getting on with life.

Unfortunately the guy with the business domain knowledge and no interest in modern software engineering condemns the organisation to never evolve.
Flexibility drops, cost of change goes up, customer service gets impacted and the company is seriously damaged as a result.
I've seen it happen, and I'm fairly sure I'll see it happen again.

It doesn't matter how extensively Google uses user data internally.
It does in Europe, with various data protection law type things causing complications.
So they were lawfully expelled to the USA but release to the USA is illegal?
You're so full of shit you even think that "Nor were most of them tortured." is a valid reposte.
Maybe if I stop cursing y
There is an easy option: Remove tax exemption from the abusive businesses.
(Yes, I do mean the religious organisations. My hobbies hurt nobody and still get taxed, so their profit making abusive hobbies definitely should)

Do you live in a box?
You still have data caps? How quaint.
The countries have to agree to take them back. They haven't. That's why most of them are still in US custody.
Bullshit. They're in a US torture camp because they were kidnapped and illegally transported there.
Just let them fucking go. They'll find somewhere to live. Or maybe - just maybe - give them a house in fucking Florida.
Shit, they wont cause any more harm than the locals. They wont even get to _vote_ for the next fuckwit president.
Sesame St - Pre school reading / numbers and socializing
I hated Sesami Street when I was young. (Still do). In hindsight, maybe it was the socialising. I still don't do that.

Why? If you want them, buy them. If you don't want to buy them, don't.
Shit, it's not as though there are no alternatives.
It's the serious amateur photographers who get hurt in this.
Very few of them need more than Adobe Lightroom (or Aperture, or Aftershot Pro, or equivs), so changing Photoshop pricing isn't really an issue.
Yeah. I don't own Photoshop and wouldn't buy it if it were available outright for $20, let alone $20/month.

240 days? Shit, you only gave yourself four weeks off and didn't include bank holidays.
228 working days here, and I'm sure as shit not charging for 1824 hours a year.
(Ironically this makes your payback case even stronger) :)
