A computer question

Discount Electronics https://discountelectronics.com/ - reputable online dealer from Austin, TX. I have done business with them with good success.


I’ll second that. I have bought several desktops & several laptops from them over the years. Never one quit on me. They know their computers. Just my 2 cents worth.

What I miss…
Don’t know about the Impalas, but I had 2 Chevy Chevelle Malibus back in the 60’s &
70’s; both 1966 models, with 3 on the tree, bench seats, and 283’s.

Our Amazing Universe
Shellback wrote:
Search for “there are more trees on earth than stars in the galaxy” and you will get the info - here is one of the reports:

According to a study published in the journal “Nature,” there are approximately 3.04 trillion trees on our planet. That’s an astonishing number, considering that the Milky Way galaxy, which is just one of billions in the universe, contains an estimated 100 to 300 billion stars. In comparison, the number of trees on earth is several orders of magnitude higher.


Numbers don’t seem to add up. If there are billions of galaxies in the universe each with 200-300 billon stars, I think the math will come out to man more times stars out there than trees on Earth. Pretty sure that 1 quintrillion is more then 3.04 trillion

Jpeg/raw pics

Most of my photos look just right when I shoot on jpeg "Standard", which is a little tweaked from jpeg "Neutral". I only shoot RAW when the situation looks like it might need more processing and possible marketing. Once I spent 1/2 hour processing a RAW image and it was saved as a jpeg that looked just like the SOOC jpeg. In-camera jpegs can save a lot of time.


👍👍

The look
When we come home, usually the cat has been napping on the front porch, and will get up, walk over in front of us, then just flip down on her side. She wants to be petted. I would think if I would floon my side like that it would hurt.

NX Studio will show the adjustments that the jpeg got in camera - which will depend on the Picture Control settings in the camera. NX Studio gives the option of applying the exact same adjustments to the raw files, or if you want you can choose another Picture Control profile to apply. It's worth having a look at the adjustments that the jpeg files get. There's nothing magical about them. They're fairly basic. And the same adjustments are applied to all jpegs, but if you edit the raw file you can give each image tailor-made adjustments.

May be a little confusing to the OP? NX Studio will allow you to make some adjustments to JPGs (contrast, brightness, etc.), but raw will give you the ability to adjust considerably more.

So true - we have yard cats - they like to stare in the window with that expression!


Ditto. They can be hard to ignore.

GPS is Great
DirtFarmer wrote:
My wife is addicted to GPS. She uses it for 95% of her trips. She didn't get a drivers license until age 39 so in her youth she missed out on the art of finding your way by landmarks. She's map-challenged (and I don't know how we ever really managed using folded maps to get around while driving).


My wife is map challenged, too. Used gps a lot. Before GPS, when we were traveling & I asked her how far it was from one point to the next, she would tell me “about 2 or 3 inches”.

Here is one captured by my wife, Wendy, using her Nikon Z50 and Nikkor Z 16-50mm lens during Autumn 2022. It was recently converted to B&W in PhotoLab 7.


Nice shot!!

First learned of Ignore List

UHH will be so much more enjoyable. Using the Ignore List I no longer will see the minutiae, the boring, the highly subjective. OK, it takes away 90% of the general chit-chat, but it will be worth it. Now you may attack me.


Hope you feel much better now, having gotten rid of that burden you have had to bear. It must have been so difficult to endure.

Solitary Pleasures

I really like the photo, Linda. But, to me the goose is a distraction; my eyes keep jumping back and forth from the fountain to the goose. Maybe that's just me.
Anyway, nice photo.


I don’t know; I covered the goose, just leaving the fountain and the picture just didn’t seem to be as balanced as with the goose included. I think it is fine as is, Linda.

My two cents worth.
