Very minor but same way/reason you need to "defrag" your computer hard drive now and then, or re-format discs/disks in the old days. Anytime you delete off of digital/magnetic media there is often a few stray bits left behind (usually at a start or end of a file section) or intentionally left as "markers". Formatting clean these off and starts fresh. Of course, in this day & age of 64 or 128Gb cards, a few bits aren't important. Was just making the point that formatting MIGHT add space versus lose it as the original post stated.

Remember, unlike a magnetic disk, a solid state device (Memory card, SSD...) never needs defragging (and it's a waste of write cycles). OTOH, Formatting a memory card (in the camera it's to be used in) is not only OK, it's recommended as routine maintenance. (I do it when I'm done transferring the photos to the PC).

A magnetic bulk eraser won't affect a memory card.




Oops, I should have read ALL of the comments before I wrote a "novel" on this.

The only bulk memory erasers I am aware of use very strong magnetic fields. I would never use one on a memory card unless I wanted to ensure that it could never be read or used again. Only format/reformat a memory card in the camera.


A magnetic bulk eraser (usually called a tape eraser,but I guess one can on could be used on floppy disks) would have zero effect (good or bad) on a solid state memory device like a memory card. In theory, mechanical damage could be done via vibration caused by electromagnet hysteresis, but your average bulk eraser likely hasn't the "umph" for that, plus a memory card doesn't have much (any?) ferric metals to react to it anyway.

Although I've been using PS for more than 10 years now, I'm probably approaching the 10% level. I strongly doubt that I will use the other 90% of its capabilities.

However, it affords me the opportunity to learn something new. And I think it's good to be in danger of learning something.

(Same comment probably applies to my camera bodies [although I think that level is above 10% by now]).


I'm probably up to a 43% level on my PP (In my case GIMP), However am almost at 11.3% on my cameras, LOL.

BTW: As always my opinion is to use what works for you and your objective, This applies to software, cameras, firearms, vehicles... I love that I have options!

These are always entertaining threads.

When I buy a car I don't look for the one that does everything, but I do look for the one that does everything I want/need.

I look at software the same way. I don't need a package that does everything, just one that does what I need.

I'm pretty sure based on what I read in the forums and images I see that a good percentage of folks never learn 10% of whatever software they are using. Buying the "best" software, like buying the "best" camera, doesn't make your images better.

I agree with you, but you’re calling out the wrong person. I think you may have missed the prior post he was replying to. He wasn’t being a “grammar cop”, he was responding to the grammar troll who had rudely critiqued another member’s misspelling by pointing out that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones...

How old were the contestants? If they were Gen-Xers or Millenials, World War II consisted of about a three paragraph description in their history books. In my daughter's high school history book, the Viet Nam war merited a single paragraph. If there was a Jeopardy question on which President ordered the bombing of North Vietnam or what was the capital city of South Vietnam, they would't have the faintest idea what the answer might be. Oh yeah, as a Baby Boomer I know that's a P-51 Mustang; probably a "D" model as evidenced by the bubble canopy.

I'm a an Xer, And I knew by sight it was a Mustang. Age isn't necessarily a factor, interest is. I can tell a 1928 Buick from a 1928 Oldsmobile too, I'll bet many people IN 1928 couldn't, If they weren't in to cars. If you want military gear? I know visually and technically the differences between the US M1911 and M1911A1 pistols even though I certainly wasn't around for WW1 (or WW2).

The magnetism part of this post prompts my question. Light is an electromagnetic wave, it has a magnetic field vector. If you place a strong magnet in the light path, will not the light path be altered. Might this give rise to image alterations. Is there a test to discover what.


I don't think the magnetic field of such a tiny force (comparatively speaking) would alter light at all, And it's only a static magnetic field of a permanent magnet, So it's definitely not emitting any EMF, There's electromagnets all thru the innards of any modern camera (and or lenses..) anyways.

In your first sentence, move the comma after the word "kept" to after the word "lose".
In your third sentence, use "that" instead of "which" since the noun is followed by a restrictive clause. Unless you learned British English, then you can have a pass for that one.
In your fourth sentence you need a space after the word "will". On second thought, there are so many grammatical errors in this sentence I would suggest deleting it and trying again.
In your final sentence, move the period inside the closing parenthesis. This is done when a sentence is started with an open parenthesis.
You would know all this if you paid attention in grammar school.

Great images and the Nikon D3 is a beast of a camera. Although it has far less megapixels than other full frame cameras today, the D3 sensor's photosites are huge in comparison. Had one and loved it. Finally traded it for a D810 so that I could take video from time to time (wish I would have had the funds to have both).


I've stopped being impressed with mere megapixels awhile ago. The D3 likely will be more camera than 99% of photographers will likely need, even now. It's a professional grade camera, and now you can find a used body for "bridge" camera money, Why not? I'm not a Nikon guy (so I lack any glass to hang on a D3) But if I was starting out and was going into the Nikon system, The D3 would definitely be a contender!
