<p>Check it out with your own gear before relying on it for anything important. I've had no problems with mine but I've been messing with computerized gear far too long not to be paranoid. </p>

<p>Triggering a test flash works but so does using it for real. The setting of the slave units takes place just before the flash fires. Doing a test enables you to see the changes have transferred but it's not necessary for other than peace of mind.</p>

<p>The only problem I've found, and it's well-documented on the Apple and Wacom forums, is that Yosemite isn't happy with the older Wacom drivers, and the latest Wacom drivers aren't happy with the oldest tablets. If you use a Wacom tablet do some searching before you upgrade.</p>

<p>It's from "Us and Them". I don't know if it has an specific title.</p>

<p>Fun! Lots of good memories there.</p>

<p>Nice. Thanks for the tip. This beats having to switch to DPP when testing, practicing, or trying to solve a problem.</p>

<p>These, in the appropriate sizes, are very handy for keeping stands, cables of all types, and power cords organized. I've seen them at Home Depot too.<br /><br />http://www.cableclamp.com</p>

<p>I don't think Ms. H. is talking about legalities, but some sort of moral/ethical obligation to preserve pictures one has taken. I don't know, really. I have two I took of my beloved dying in the ICU, and while I don't feel I can show them to anyone, I can't bring myself to delete them. I'm probably going to pass the puzzle on to my kids when I die.</p>

<p>Leaders underestimate their subject's appetite for slaughter, which is why the censorship. It only took about twenty years for the people who went through WW1 to do it all over again on a much grander scale. The pictures didn't galvanize the opposition in the US to the Vietnam war, it was their friends and family getting drafted and expended for no apparent gain that did. </p>

<p>I'm on team Dieter/Bill. That "just" implies all tools of a class are very much alike, and that's simply not the way they're perceived for many people. For example, there are differences in the way kitchen knives and other utensils feel in one's hands, it's not only with the more complicated items like cameras and automobiles that one can have a good or bad (for want of a better word) meld.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the point of beating dead pixels is, but I get a really big file with 4.6 and one around 20Mb bigger if I include the original RAW in the DNG. Adobe changed the compression algorithm, that happens.</p><div></div>

<p>Eric, Aaron isn't talking about a 3 Mb jump in size, he's upset by "the file sizes jump from about 20mb (ARW) to anywhere from 45-85mb (DNG)". Your size increases are about what I'm getting and no big deal.</p>

<p>Aaron, I'm using an RX100-2 but I just tried LR5 on a RX100-1 .ARW file from someone else. The difference was larger but still not drastically so.</p> <div></div>

<p>Yes. I just tried it with LR5 and got a .DNG slightly smaller than the .ARW file at about 20Mb.</p>

<p>Thanks, Marc. I loved the Keppler piece, I'm always debating the taking vs leaving gear questions with myself.</p>
