I hope you don't mind, I've made a (still huge, yet at 5% the size a little more suitable for those on low bandwidth) smaller version of that pic...

Thanks, Peter. How about we all chip in and give Dr. Gilmore a course in photoshop?

/U. - who is not on dialup but stuck with a measly 1280*1024 screen resolution

 

[kevin gilmore]

I don't wanna course in photoshop.

Plug camera directly into firewire port move picture directly to
shared directory over the net at 1.5mbit upload. Very fast. No
pain. No messing around.

Need to spend extra brain cells trying to understand how one
particular person thinks there is lots of feeback in posted design.
Is evidently serious or needs to have his meds changed.

Create a droplet in photoshop that resizes pictures to 1280x1024 and saves them to the shared directory. Then your workflow becomes "plug camera in. drop picture on droplet."

 

[PeterR]

LOL. I really enjoy those hires shots Kevin takes of his gear with his monster camera (and I couldn't have produced my wallet faster at gunpoint than when Jude threatened this device would be used to depict tuberoller...). I just pity the guy who faces 5MB+ pictures only armed with his 56k modem...

 

[eric343]

Hmm... Newark and MCM's search tools are down, so where to get the 2SK170? Digikey, Mouser, and Allied don't have it.

 

[kevin gilmore]

half the search engines are down this weekend.
Must be that August 1 problem

available here www.bdent.com $.79 each

re: pictures. At least i give a warning now...
Still think that stepped photo of tuberollers posterior
worked over in photoshop would look like nasa's pictures
of mars... Just think we could name each bump and crater.
Better shutup now, was going to make comment about
a species from startrek....

Seriously i've ordered a flat white mat to photograph stuff on.
The high res of the carpet is whats seriously adding to the
size. That 5mb should come down to 1mb with all the resolution
intact.

August 1 problem?

Parts are on order, let's see who can get it built first

That or crop out the carpet.

Oh wait you don't want to fire up Photoshop... get a Mac and import with iPhoto. Sounds lame but iPhoto is the best damn photo library software I've ever used.

A joke. Remember Y2k. The giant big problem that never was.

Have a very recent vintage mac now. Got it for nothing. What it is worth
too. Operating system will install on some but not all IBM ide drives.
When it does not it crashes with an unknown update failure. Cannot
prep a new hard drive out of the box with X.3. Have to install X.1 first
then upgrade. Then sometimes the upgrade sticks, sometimes it does not.
These things are so simple a 2 year old can use them. I'm out of 2 year
olds. (there's an opening if i ever saw one)

The kodak professional software that comes with the camera is quite
excellent for all sorts of stuff. Still takes too much time. Besides it
works much better with raw images and people don't want me posting
cleaned up raw images.

I have a brand new 4 proc xeon 3.2ghz machine with 4gb of memory.
I'm slowly moving apps and data from my old machine (2.4 p4) to
the new one. Its going to take a couple more weeks till i'm happy with
it.

I have the latest photoshop plugin for my camera. Eats raw's and jpg's
directly from the camera. Maybe i'll start using it. Maybe not.

About as far apart as you can get. One is 32 ohms the other is 300.
One likes current and lots of it, the other likes voltage and lots of it.
Evidently there are 8 ohm headphones out there, but i have no idea
who makes them. There are 600 ohm headphones out there too, your
grandfather probably used them.

Mr. Gilmore,

I don't want to get on your bad side, but just because you have a Kodak DCS-14/n doesn't mean that you can't resize the images a tad. That DSLR is no doubt great for making 20x24 inch prints close to the quality of medium format, but it does nothing but make hassle for those viewing on a monitor. Seriously, use PS and scale it down.

 

[kevin gilmore]

Yes Sir!

kodak slr/n not 14n

re-installing photoshop cs now on new machine.

Yes I do, in fact I was quoted in the local newspaper as saying it would be a dud.

Welcome to the wide and wonderful world of Apple hard drive lock-in. The drives that ship with Macs (or at least the laptops, I've never had a desktop and therefore couldn't say) have special firmware in them. Quote:

Again, is this an Apple-supplied drive you're trying to install on? My experiences upgrading have been absolutely flawless.

And I love 'em for it. Do you have any idea how nice it is to be able to take my laptop with me on the road and know that it will work the first time? Or even to be able to give presentations without weird errors. Windows and *nix have their place; I use them on my desktop and server respectively. But I would never want to rely on the former or have do something entirely new under pressure with the latter. (once it's working, however, I love it) Of course, I don't like to spend a lot of time trying to get my computers working -- you on the other hand get paid by the hour to do it.

3.2GHz quad xenon/4GB ram and "slowly" seem self-contradictory when mentioned in the same sentence. Nice box.
