It applies only to RAW. JPEG is already compressed by the camera's processing by deleting pixels. Check page 115 of your manual.

The X-T2 offers you a choice of uncompressed and compressed RAW files (IMAGE QUALITY SETTING > RAW RECORDING). Compression cuts the size of RAW files roughly in half, so you can store more of them on a memory card or your computer. The compression also helps speed up camera processes: it takes longer to fill the fast camera buffer, and since the files are smaller, they take less time to transfer to the memory card. It’s important to note that Fujifilm’s RAW compression is lossless,
so there’s no difference in image quality between uncompressed and compressed RAWs.
However, not all external RAW converters may be able to process compressed RAWs, because the compression format is proprietary. RAW converter manufacturers can obtain a free SDK from Fujifilm in order to support the compressed RAW file format.

Hope this helps your understanding. Respectfully, CPOROB
I appreciate the scale in photo #2. Your shots are always interesting, well composed and sensitive to Mother Nature. Thank you for todays photos, those in the past and the anticipation of future shots. Chief Rob.
Congratulations Senior Chief.
Perhaps your wife and Mess have started a new traditions! (I hope so.)

Merging LR catalogs is possible. However it involves a six step process according to Victoria Bampton. Share your email address and I shall share the detailed six step process as per her book Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC/6, The Missing FAQ. ChiefRob.
Thank you! Your description of sailing on a Navy ship is as I remember of those long years gone by for me.
My first ship was CVS-39 USS Lake Champlain (CVS = Carrier, fixed wing, anti-submarine) and while at sea and when refueling the Destroyers (and smaller Destroyer Escorts) felt and continue to think those sailors deserved sub pay! Additionally I served on four additional carriers and STILL MISS IT - I retired from Antisubmarine Squadron 32 (VS-32) then assigned to CV-67 USS John F Kennedy on September 01, 1976 (the day before they sailed on a North Atlantic cruise while preparing for a nine month Mediterranean cruise.
For you a FAIR WIND AND FOLLOWING SEA!
Nope. He was an A-4 driver.
The A-1 (EA1H model) was known as the Spad in the very early 1960s when I sailed on the USS Lake Champlain CVS-39. The EA1H was a radar picket aircraft with a large radome and a terrible landing record on this ship. The "Champ" was the last of the straight deckers to operate fixed-wing aircraft I believe. This ship also picked up the first astronaut, CDR Sheppard, to launch and return to earth.
Did the Radar/Navigator get a black eye in the A-6 during these launches? ChiefRob
I suggest considering the Fujifilm X-T3 as it is virtually the same as the X-T4 in most regards in accordance with Ken Rickwell's review at
https://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/reviews.htm. However there are some differences that may be determinate in selecting one or the other. You know the old story: balance cost vs some capability. Only you can make that selection. But . . . . read the review of both cameras to fully understand the applications of the difference characteristics/capabilities. ChiefRob
Reference C-130 Fat Albert. Did you know that this aircraft is ground crewed by US Marines, and probably by Marine Pilots. (The Navy does not have pilots, they have aviators,)

greymule, Thank you for these images. I lived in Bonanza, CO in the early 1950s and visited Villa Grove many times while there. Going to school in Saguache made for a long school bus ride! By the way the Spaniards visited the area in the late 1600s and recorded being at the Saguache creek while seeking the Comanches. Chief Rob

I especially appreciate the depth of distance you have captured in your images. Thank you.
I suggest you watch the video tutorial at the following URL to learn of some of the possible mirrorless camera capabilities for one camera, the Fujifilm X-T3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p_bHajS3kMWhile the video's speaker needs to learn better how to teach; his information for the Fujifilm X-T3 mirrorless camera is superb. I have been a Nikon advocate since the early 1970's and currently own three different Nikon cameras. I have selected additional camera brands to serve functions not readily available or satisfactory for the Nikons (e.g. noisy from mirrow slap). Over time I have been migrating to Sony and or Fujifilm brands because, for me, they each in their own ways, make capturing images in selected environments easier and in some cases possible.
One important suggestion is for you to ensure your selected camera(s) feel good in the hand!
Good luck. Chief Rob
