Back up your whole computer with Google's Backup and Sync app

I don't use Google to back up my "real" photos. I prefer external drives rather than online storage. But, I do use Google for my phone and some documents on my PC. Google Backup and Sync has seeming always been there and backup up any images on my phone. I imagine what you're paying for is the additional storage space, because the feature has always been free.

 

On the desktop version, you can go into the setting and designate or even create folders that you want to be. (The CHOOSE FOLDER OPTION BELOW opens a window to add another folder to be syncd.) Or you can just create the folders on your MAC and in the Preferences in Google choose the additional folders you wish to be backedup. Thats how I do it.

 

The OP asked about "STORAGE" so I don't think they are concerned about a buffer. More likely they want to avoid having to purchase a card.

Owning the thing itself doesn’t mean we own the copyright to the thing.

Owning specific physical items — these negatives in this case — is entirely separate and apart from owning any copyright there may be in the items. The U.S. Copyright Office explains that:

I can buy a copy of a book — and then give my copy away, donate it to a library, loan it to a friend. But owning my copy of the book doesn’t give me the right to make more copies and sell them to others. Just because these are photographic images doesn’t change the analysis. The Copyright Office specifically notes on its website that:

Is there some reason why you're optimizing images for a specific device when there are a myriad of sizes and dimensions, all of which are fluid?

Quickbooks is simple and easy. AND there are TONS of free material to help you use it, not mention their forum. You can start with the basic version and it will grow with you as your business does.

Any answer for this question is totally subjective and up to personal taste. While a very long lens may be used when you're at a distance and that is the only use you find it good for, others may like the shallow depth of field it provides in a myriad of situations, or the perceive compression of space, or just the general look using it for portraits, or the Brenizer Method. I've seen some really stunning portraits done with a 300mm lens ... Its totally up to what the photographer creatively wants.

1. 2.39:1 Cinematic Crop

2. Desaturated with Adjustment Layer

3. Applied Black/Teal/Orange Gradient Map - Soft Light Blend

4. Curves to gray out blacks

5. ColorLookup Adjustment Layer to set FoggyNight at 40%

6. Layer Stamp to Combine

7. Created long lens blur with two layers, one sharpened, one with tilt shift blur, with coffins masked out to be sharp.

8. Added Ghostly Woman slightly blurred with Color Dodge Blend at 50%

9. Added black to transparent Gradient to darken left side

10. Used Curves, and Apply image to make mask to dodge light parts of coffins

I'm kinda of confused by the OP.

Hi all, I have 6 days worth of RAW files to transfer from one hard drive to another.

• In the past I have been told the only safe way to transfer RAW files is by downloading the photos direct via the camera's transfer cable. I would prefer to copy and paste them from one hard drive to another. Is that safe?
  
• 
   
  
• Hard drive I am transferring from is a Samsung 2TB USB powered hard drive Its potential destination drive is a Lacie 4TB AC powered hard drive.
  
• PS: I do have card readers though I have been told this is not safe to download photos
  

From the OP, its appears the OP has two external hard drives connected to their computer. From the first sentence, it appears the OP has 6 days of raw files to transfer from one drive to another drive.

 

- How does a card reader or dongle even come into play?

- If the files are already on the hard drive, that means they have been transferred from the camera (where I would understant carders and dongles would into the conversation).

- If the files are already on one hard drive, the OP should be able to just drag the files from one drive to another, using which every file explorer they choose (Windows Explorer, Bridge, or whatever way LR uses)

 

I'm basically confused about talk of card readers with the files are already on the hard drive.

<p>Considering your conditions. Noiseware does a pretty decent job.</p>

Don't confuse lens sharpness with a wide depth of field.

 

The general thesis has been that a lens is sharpest 2-3 stops above its widest aperture. Thats up to debate im sure, but

generally speaking that is what has always been said.

There are probably a hundred ways. But, start with .... duplicate the layer, and fiddle with the blends and adjusting

opacity. Start with lighten and screen

Whats the issue? What youve stated is too ambiguous to be helpful.

Legally, you cant verbally modify a written contract, but some how you and the bride have made changes, agreed to them

and completed the responsibilities of the contract. Depending on how significant the date was, one could argue that the

written contract was voided, and you and the bride made a new verbal agreement.

For future reference.

 

They are already in breach of your agreement by not providing the balance the day of the wedding. How you handle that

in the future is another issue you should think through.

 

After his sob story about the kids and being broke, I would have responded, I'm sorry to hear that. When you are able to

gather the balance, the photos will be here waiting for your approval."

 

Simple.

 

Like or not like, he has the photos and is gambling you won't go through the trouble to get the balance. He wins.

I think in the end, brides will be doing the selecting and the template should appeal to them. I think a bride would like

something a little "softer." Youre thinking like a man my friend. lol. Do you have any women friends to ask about the

"feel" of it?

Not feeling the fence border. When I think wedding I dont think aged wood planks.

Uninstall and reinstall and see. Which version are you using ?

I believe Jeff's response is the more legal accurate answer.

 

1. Did you have a written employment agreement with them? If you did, find it and see if it addresses wok for hire

issues. Its common that companies claim ownership for works and copyright. (Thats why Prince became "The artist

formerly known as" and The Jackson Five became "The Jacksons." Corporate ownership.

 

2. If there is no written agreement specifically giving copyright and ownership to your employers ..... is there any other

written manuals or employee guides that required you to sign off on at the beginning of your employ granting rights to

them?

 

If you signed off on any clause granting them ownership, you're out of luck. You were'n't tricked, just not knowledgeable

of a common practice.

 

3. If they have the rights, approach them to negotiate to get ownership and copyright and the images back. Remember

they dont have to if they own them.

 

4. If by some chance you own them, understand they are under no obligation to keep your files. Speaking as a computer

network administrator, the computers and servers belong to the company. We as the company have no obligation to

preserrve your personal property on our servers. With that said, approach them gingerlly to get access to your images.

Again, they have no obligation to let you examine their servers. In my best Admin Voice I would have told you, "You

should have kept your files also on YOUR computer."

Call Purchasing.

<p>If I understand you correctly, you need a particular image dimension of online purposes and you want them uniform. In PS. Just use the crop tool setting. You can either make a preset or doing on the fly at the top. When you selection the crop tool, you can tell it to crop to 400px x 600px for example. Regardless of the image size, the crop will be that dimension. Just know the exact size you need. If you crop it too small and then try to upsize it, it will be distorted.<br /><img src="http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/kjonbz/croppreset_zpsqxi6k474.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="1024" /></p>

The OP said, "... those collaborations were not strictly professional. It is also how we met: I was a model at an agency, he

messaged me on Facebook and offered a photoshoot. "

 

That is where him possibly straying comes from.

As my grandmother use to say "How you meet them is how you'll leave them." You met him as the focus of his

photography, and now you're afraid he's bored and is trying go back to the same MO that he met you. Thats a valid

concern. Its much like the wife that started their marriage to a married man as his mistress. He divorced, she married

him and now she realize what he did to his ex wife he can do to her.

 

In your situation, either you trust him or you don't. Be alert and aware of his old MO of meeting women and if its what he's

doing. There is not much else anyone other than he and/or a counselor can tell you.

IN PS, be sure to make it a smart object (it just takes a click) before to start resizing it so it keeps its clarity.

If you're on aperture priority at f8, and your ISO is set to 100 and your image is underexposed, either your meter is faulty

or your camera is set to some auto feature that prevents the camera from choosing the proper shutter speed.

 

In normal situations, if you set the aperture in aperture priority and set a specific ISO, the camera should set the proper

shutter speed for a good exposure. IT MAY select a shutter speed that is too slow for hand holding, but you'd still have a properly exposed but blurry image. You're not on full manual, so the camera should be able to select the correct shutter speed to match any changing lighting condtions.

 

What shutter speed did the camer choose? What are your lighting conditions? Are you using a strobe or artificial light,

or a combo of both?
