You looked it up ? I thought I coined it.

You might have coined it, but if so, it made it to Dictionary.com:

Flackery: noun - publicity and promotion; press-agentry.
Origin: first recorded in 1960-65


Doesn't say who, so I'll be happy to give you credit.
You could use some credibility anyway....

I'll need some ID to verify your age...

Maybe CC is only a photographer when he's not using his phone…which doesn't shoot RAW by default but some can do so depending on phone os, version, and app used. But maybe he's a legend in his own mind too:-)

Why is raw capitalized on UHH?
Does RAW stand for 3 words?

Think of JPEG as a "rendering" with green grass, shadows, blue sky etc.
Think of RAW as the file that contains all the possible points and distances and directions relative to each other all in one place.

Anybody who uses a camera to shoot pictures (I do mean anybody) is a photographer, whatdat.

The JPEG is the artistic interpretation of the data contained in the RAW file.

Well, in gastroenterology we used "impact" as a verb.
And "impacted" as an adjective (and diagnosis).
But that's another entire matter altogether!

Which might explain why, when someone or some righteous cause is described as "impactful," it brings me a smile.


Good one!

There are so many problems with information in that article and on that site, I won’t bother to comment, other than to say that neither RAW nor raw is a file extension. The DATA* are raw, okay? The file extension is .CRW, .CR2, .NEF, .RW2, .ORF, etc.

*Data is plural. Datum is singular. It’s Latin…

Raw isn't just a file format, it's a way of life. RAW is one of the true wonders of modern digital photography. Many times while editing my RAW files, I begin to see my connection to the fabric of the universe.


Or at least all the True Colors that are hidden; as in the song by Phil Collins.
In all of it's Raw format!
