...a democracy? a dictatorship? a business? a learning site? a community of photographers? etc, etc...

nice, barry ;-)
you know, change/evolution are inevitable. however, it ultimately comes down to who owns the title to the property and what they want to do with it.
if i open Skippy's Chili Shack and it becomes all the rage with the trend-seekers, that's cool. if the trend-seekers get tired of chili, i can either change to accomodate them, or hope that a new crop of chili afficianados come along. i might be simply the starting point for an evening out for some, or a final destination for others. all the same, it's up to me and my personal economics as to how long i do what i do. at some point, i might want to change, possibly to sell off to someone else to do what they want--then that would be their perogative. but, as long as i'm enjoying my place and are happy with my clientele and the basic economics, i'll stick with it--knowing full well that if somebody comes in wanting a veggie wrap light on the dressing, they will have to go somewhere else... |

You are probably unaware that at this very moment Skip, a small group of environmentalists is forming outside your door, and are trying to get you to change your menu, as you are single-handedly affecting the issue of global warming with the amounts of methane your trend-seekers are releasing into the atmosphere.
Just thought you should know. You've been hiding out in there far too long.

There are days when I really start to wonder.
<rant on & slight hijack>
Two very useful tips recently posted on photographic & post-processing issues that affect
most of us seem to be less of an interest than how to keep a puppy from barking??
I'm lost.

There's more dog lovers than photo geeks on the site ?
Are you surprised ? Mind you - if you are referring to your recent tips, I suspect the majority of users don't really even know what a colour space or custom white balance is, never mind how to make them sticky or optimise them for shooting in a gym. Even at that, the two tips are somewhat esoteric, one for an out of date version of really expensive software, the other for a fairly specific scenario for high school sports shooters.
They know what a puppy is though.

You'll get sued when your chili gives everyone the late night chili trots...;-) |

I'd go out on a limb in saying that CS2 is probably the most commonly used editing version used on this site and would hardly call it out of date. In regards to the other, well, it really isn't specific, just an example under one of the worst conditions, of the value of telling the camera what is white rather than it thinking it knows what is white. One less editing step, one less place to add image degradation & noise.
No matter, I like cats more anyway *grin* |

I doubt any photoshop product is the most commonly used editor (though maybe photoshop elements might be) CS3 has been out for almost a year, that's a long time. Could well be wrong though - this was 5 years ago Might be interesting to re-run it - I'm curious how lightroom has stepped up, or if CS has even replaced 7 in most people's workflows, then where CS/CS2/CS3 stand.
As to the other, it isn't specific, but it was certainly framed that way. the first word in the thread title possibly stops people from looking, for example.
I'm with you on the cats...

I may be stepping out on a limb on this one, but I seem to remember that cat owners were less likely to suffer a stroke due to the calming effects of the cat. They could not produce similar evidence regarding dog owners as they did not have a sufficient data base to work from.
I'm safe, I own both. :O)

What cat's are you living with? You can't tell I own a cat unless you count the incessant whining and the furball leading you to the kitchen.
... back to our regularly scheduled programming,
What is DPC anyway?

No cats live me, though I do enjoy others cats. I was merely joking so don't take too much offense b/c I've been to houses with dogs that have smelled pretty foul. As for what DPC is, I like the thread that explains this as a coffeehouse, I can't find it but I think it perfectly defines this place.

Thanks for that nudge Gordon. I asked and see the Subject was changed per my request already.
Now reads: The Benefits of Using a Custom White Balance
Thanks SC!
Charlie, the other one was Making CS2 Color space (proofing) sticky !
