I'm not an advocate for dng, but it came in handy when Adobe included new cameras before getting them into their major programs. I think the last major 'advance' was the ability to save the original file within the dng container. That of course defeated the idea of a smaller file size. Probably the biggest miscalculation Adobe ever made, besides not buying Photoshop when it was first offered to them, was thinking they could get the major camera manufacturers to all switch to dng.

Photoshop was "invented" in 1987 by two brothers Thomas and John Knoll. Adobe purchased the license to distribute Photoshop in September 1988. Photoshop 1.0 was released by Adobe on February 19, 1990 for Macintosh. And then Adobe ported it to Windows in 1993.

Apple had an opportunity to buy Photoshop at the same time as Adobe but didn't. (Summarized from WikiPedia.)

How small does it have to be? Would a small decent computer monitor that accepts hdmi work?

Sorry, I wasn't clear on that one. One can be elected three times and I'm not referring to prior to the Twenty-second Amendment. This is not in reference to some convoluted example of a two term president running as VP to some candidate who gets elected then resigns, etc.

From section 1 of the 22nd Amendment: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

I am curious, how did you create your avatar? It is very cool!

Which part of my comment is completely false?

There is a small caveat to that and it is possible for a person to run for a third term. That is also in The Constitution.

You can run for President as many times as you like. See for example Ralph Nader. But you can be ELECTED only twice.

The caveat would be if you were elected President before the Twenty-second Amendment took effect and I think those individuals are all deceased. If you have a US Constitution handy you should be able to provide the part of the Constitution that you believe disagrees with the Twenty-second Amendment and I would be interested in seeing that.

Two term Presidents like Bill Clinton could run for President but he cannot be elected again. It has not been decided in court yet if a twice elected President could run as Vice President and be on a winning ticket. If the Supreme Court were to allow that there would be the possibility of a two term President becoming President again but that is not the same as being elected President.

And it also has not been decided in court what would happen if a twice elected two term President (who is not eligible to be President) won the E*******l College v**e. Would the second place candidate win the Presidency? That seems the most likely outcome.

Now that's just silly.
We term limit the president. Two, four year terms then he or she needs to be replaced for at least a term.


A person is limited to being elected twice - or once if they've already served more than two years as President. It is in the Constitution as the Twenty-second Amendment.

"DNG" is a form of 'raw'.


Yes DNG is often called a "RAW" image file but in reality it is a container that can contain a JPG, TIF, PNG or maybe any other image file type.

The downside to converting your original RAW file (of whatever type) to a DNG file is that it is ONE and ONLY ONE interpretation of your original RAW file and perhaps not the best interpretation of your original file. The camera manufacturers do not always share the information required to interpret the information in their RAW files and therefore most software that allows you to view RAW files is created by reverse engineering the information in the proprietary RAW file and so they are different interpretations of that information. Some may be better than others at this interpretation.

Once you have deleted your original RAW file you no longer have the ability to re-interpret your original file should more advanced and better RAW editors (which include by necessity a RAW interpreter) be available.

This is of course not applicable if you are not using your RAW files but are saving as jpg or tif as these are standards that have only one interpretation.

Under U.S. law, your images are copyrighted when you create the image. Registration is usually only required when a dispute arises.


Yes, the person who took the photo generally owns the copyright except under certain circumstances. But not registering the images with the Copyright office limits you to "actual" damages which might be much lower than the "Statutory" damages available if they are registered correctly.

gene51 posted a couple of links to a website full of FAQs on copyright. Check out the info under the question "Q: How much money can I sue for in a civil copyright lawsuit?" on this page:

Thank you Gene.

To clarify, in the US, your creative work is protected by copyright the moment you click the shutter. Registration is optional. However, registration gives you a much stronger legal position if it comes to it. As of now, I don't register my images - however - after doing some research I may start. $55 for 750 pics doesn't seem unreasonable.


I wholeheartedly agree that for your images it is well worth it to register them. And I am not an expert by any means but I believe your damages are limited if you do not register them in a timely manner. Also as you would be registering Published images you can easily publish any and all of the images you want to protect on your website. The 750 images in the group must all be published or all be unpublished. I believe the rule is if it is on a website and available to the public it is considered published.

And thank you for your helpful videos!

If anyone here really wants to Copyright and Register their images here is a link to a couple of videos from the US Copyright office on how to do it for both published and unpublished images.

https://www.copyright.gov/registration/photographs/index.html

And there is no mention of the necessity to put any Copyright information in the meta-data. But in order to get compensation I believe it is required to submit them to the Copyright office before you can sue the Copyright infringer.

I love Steve Perry's videos and helpful information but in this video he did mention that he DOES NOT Copyright his images.

Perhaps Bridge is set to do that. See this web page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/import-camera-photos-bridge.html

In #3 there is a checkbox to "Convert To DNG".

If your software supports your RAW files you should not be converting to DNG.

Beautiful image.
It made me go find the original version/attempt. And it made me think about your planning and ultimate execution of the shot. Very well done!

Can either be purchased one without the other?


Photoshop can be subscribed to as a stand alone application at twice the price of the Photography Plan - $239.88 per year on Adobe's site. I do not know why one would do that unless it has some features that are missing in the Photography Plan's Photoshop.

Some questions. Does the slideshow software that you bought the laptop for still run well on the laptop? Does the iMac still do what you need it to do for photography? Does your iMac support "Target Display Mode" and if so can you get a video cable to attach the iMac as a monitor to the new laptop that you want to buy?

Target Display Mode is a startup mode for your iMac that allows it to function as a monitor. See this link:
