Re: Top 10 Lies told to Naive Artists and Designers
Who answers these? Probably an aspiring designer, or someone just out of school trying to get anything completed so they can put it in their portfolio. A lot of times someone who hasn't gone the design school route wants to have some samples in order to get work, or someone in school who wants portfolio pieces. Or a person… -
Re: Calibrate Monitor if Not Printing???
First off, few modern LCD's can hit that low a luminance without really altering the LUT's which is to be avoided. Out of the box, they can easily hit 250-300 cd/m2.

Re: Software for file comparisons?
I tried a few shareware programs and got confused with the terms and processes. This takes a LONG time for 150 gigs...

Lenses, focal lengths, etc. OK, time to clear up some misconceptions! You've come to the right place. Two things to consider here: * You'll have to buy and process a lot of film before you make up the difference in cost between a film SLR and a digital SLR.

Re: A Trip Too Small: Fiji, New Zealand, and Some More
The next day we woke up still exhausted. We gradually gained some momentum and packed up camp and made it back out the three and a half miles to the road, and then we headed down to the main Yosemite Valley to find some cheap camping and hit some famous climbs. Tracy and I elected to take a rest day to try to recover, and… -
