No. Ansel Adams was obviously a smart guy. He would recognize that less time spent in a darkroom equals more time to shoot photos.

If AA could have used a computer instead of long hours in a darkroom, what do you want to bet that he wouldn't have? Besides, a computer may be quicker but that doesn't mean it is any easier to learn.

Maybe. Maybe not. You inferred it as humor, and while it certainly could have been it also certainly may not have been. Only the person who wrote that statement knows for sure. There are some who believe that their photos involve no processing.

Yeah, I did because that is what was implied. Any photographer, great or not so great who shoots RAW is using a photoshop type of program to process the image. That leaves JPEG where the camera does all the heavy lifting as far as processing is concerned. Better yet, find me a "Great" photographer who doesn't use post processing of some type. If you can.

So, the greatest photographers are shooting JPEG and letting the camera decide how the picture should look?

Be straight up with her about what you want to do and how much it will cost. She might just tell you that it would be cheaper for you to get a girlfriend to take up your spare time!

One problem that often occurs is that over time more and more programs are running in the background that you aren't even aware of. These set themselves up to start when the computer starts, slowing startup and using system resources as you try to use your computer. Go to the Windows icon, usually in the lower left corner and right click on it. From the pop-up menu select Task Manager and then select the Start Up tab. This will bring up all the programs that start up and run when you start your computer. It will show if they are enabled or disabled and give you an idea of how much of a resource drain they are. Disabling any of them does not prevent them from working it just means they won't start until actually needed. It may make a noticeable difference to disable the ones you don't immediately need. You can also eliminate one or two at a time to see if any particular program is causing your problem. Virus programs, such as the Norton program Windows uses, can be huge resource hogs. You might check that first. I don't use the Windows virus programs. I have other far less intrusive programs such as Webroot and Malwarebytes that are excellent without slowing things down anywhere near as much as Norton.

Wasn't it Twiggy that said that?

Good to know! I was unaware of the ability of Windows 10 to unzip files and had downloaded Winzip23 by Corel a few years ago. After the free trial period expired I started using a free Zip program but never uninstalled Winzip23. When I right clicked a zip file it did not bring up Extract All as an option but showed Winzip23 instead, which I simply ignored and used my other program. Based on what you stated I suspected a conflict so I just uninstalled Winzip23 and now Extract All is an option and works just fine. My free Zip program is still installed but causes no such problem. Of course, some programs are more intrusive then others.
Thanks!
BTW, the OP has a Mac.

I Googled "Unzipping Files On A Mac" and that brought up a number of free Zip programs. I did read where it said to double-click but that may only apply if you already have a Zip program installed.

"Friends" of mine once set me up on a blind date with a girl from Tannersville back in the '60's. Who knew that they had FAT18 back then?

2GB is the Microsoft recommended limit for FAT16. It can be used up to 4GB but stability can become an issue. The card Jerry first tried was probably around 32GB, I would bet. So, yes, as you state, a camera limitation is a factor, but, so is the fact that the camera only reads Fat16. With or without a limitation the camera could not have read the larger card. Years ago I had a nifty little SD card reader. Not much bigger then a memory stick. Very handy. Took me a while to figure out why it only worked with 1 or 2GB cards. Never realized that even a card reader would have such limitations.

That's because the camera only recognizes Fat16. Larger cards use Fat32 or ExFat.

I don't know anything about Mac, but with Windows you right click and select "Open With", but, you have to have a Zip program on the computer to open it with. I would guess that Mac has something similar to "Open With", but, you will still need a Zip program.
