<p>I've been using Crashplan for over 4 years now. It works well for me. I leave it running permanently, but presume one could terminate the application when one doesn't want it running. Alternatively, one can put Crashplan into sleep mode for up to 2 days.<br /><br />With respect to Tudor ApMadoc's comment that "If you delete a file on your home computer, the clock starts ticking. If you don't recover it from the cloud within XX days (usually 30) then it's gets deleted in cloud" that is NOT the case with Crashplan. The default for "remove deleted files" is <strong>never</strong>. By way of example, I recently discovered that I had accidentally deleted a RAW file from my 2011 catalog. No idea when I deleted it, but I restored it without any problems from Crashplan.<br /><br />I also backup to external hard drives. The file that I'd accidentally deleted wasn't on those hard drives as they typically only have backups from the last year or so.</p>

<p>Canon is Canon.</p>

<p>I just checked. I can also backup DNG files. So, in my case, at least, I am able to backup DNG, CR2 & XMP files. </p>

<p>I can both backup & restore my CR2 files.</p>

<p>I've been a user of CrashPlan for almost 3 years. I'm very happy with it. When I go to the "Restore" option, I can see both CR2 and XMP files. I just restored a few files and then did a binary compare (fc /b using WinXP) with the original files; they were identical. <br>

Are you sure that you are actually backing up your CR2 files? Do you see a check mark against them when you select which files to backup? If they do have a check mark against them, what happens when you go to "Restore", can you see them there. Have you checked to see whether CR2 files are excluded from your backups? (Go Settings > Backup Sets > Filename Exclusions to see what, if anything, is excluded.)<br>

Fwiw, I believe that CrashPlan is extension agnostic.<br>

Hope this helps.</p>

Do you know in which countries it's illegal to use a logger? Any idea why it's illegal there.<br>

<p>I have been able to successfully print Hahnemuhle Daguerre Canvas on an Epson R2400. The R2400's maximum paper thickness is "1.0 - 1.3mm thick". To do this, I had to print using the front path of the printer. The ICC profiles can be found on Hahnemuhle's website. Hope this works out for you.</p>

<p>I use both CrashPlan and external hard drives, which I rotate. The initial upload to CrashPlan did take a month or two.</p>

<p>Also, why not set up a Google Alert for those serial numbers.</p>

<p>Not sure how good this is, but have you tried http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/</p>

<p>Thank you everybody for your contributions.</p>

<p>My family & I are going to Iceland for two weeks in early July. We will largely be taking the ring road, but will also be traveling to Snæfellsnes peninsula, the West Fjords, and Grimsey Island.<br>

We will be taking a Canon 5d Mk II and a Canon Rebel T3i along with tripod, etc. We would appreciate your thoughts on what lenses to take with us. The purpose is primarily landscape and animal photography.<br>

As of now, we have a 17-40L, 24-105L, 35L, 50 f/1.8 and a 70-300 DO.<br>

Do we need a longer lens for animal photography, e.g., should I borrow a 100-400 and 1.4x extender rather than take the 70-300 DO?<br>

Do we need a wider lens for landscape photography, e.g., a 15mm?<br>

Thank you for any assistance.</p>

<p>Thanks Tony, Brad & Doug. I appreciate the input. A 360<strong>°</strong> landscape does indeed create awkward dimensions, so am thinking of splitting it into 3 photos (each 3⅓:1). Given most canvas wraps seem to have a minimum height of 8", and I suspect that 8"x80" is too big, I will get it framed; I just need to decide between one or three photos. Once again, than you Tony, Brad & Doug.</p>

<p>I recently took a 360<strong>°</strong> landscape photo for a friend. It's dimensions are broadly 10:1. I'd like to have this printed (either 4x40 or 6x60) and framed for him. Normally, I print my own photos on an Epson R2400. Given the dimensions of this photo, I am going to send to a third party.<br>

Any recommendations as to printing and framing service for such a photo. Or should I just print it at home and get framed locally?<br>

Appreciate any and all comments.</p>

<p>Thanks for your thoughts.</p>

 

<p>I'll be travelling to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Hiroshima) for ~10 days in April. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the the right equipment to take. I'll be taking a 5DMk2 along with a Gitzo tripod. Am wondering what lenses to take. As of now, these are my choices (in order of priority):</p>

<ol>

<li>Canon 24-105 f4 </li>

<li>Canon 17-40 f4 </li>

<li>Canon 50 f1.8 or 35 f1.4 </li>

<li>Canon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 or Canon 200 f2.8 </li>

<li>Canon TS-E 24mm</li>

</ol>

 

<p>Should I take the lens hoods with?<br>

Should I also take my Canon G10?</p>

 

<p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2071567"></a> Juergen is right. You can convert to DNG, which works for me, or pay the Man!</p>

 

 

<p>>>> That is incorrect.<br>

How so?</p>

 

<p>Try Filter > Distort > Lens Correction in Photoshop.</p>

<p>Does anybody understand Nik Software's pricing structure for its Complete Collection software?<br>

It's $300 for the Aperture version or $600 for Photoshop and Aperture version. There is no Photoshop-only version.<br>

Given I use Photoshop on a Windows PC, I simply don’t need the Aperture software. And I’m more than a little reluctant to fork out $600 for the Photoshop & Aperture software.<br>

Thanks for your comments.</p>

<p>Thanks for the heads up. Went to my local Circuity City and bought the last one.</p>

<p>See this <a href="../digital-darkroom-forum/00OYgL">previous thread</a> .<br /> <br /> I've used <a href="http://www.recuva.com">Recuva </a> in the past, which is a donationware, windows-based utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. It worked on a SD card for me, too. It recovers the files "AS IS", i.e., in your case, it should recover RAW files.</p>

<p>Thanks you all for your comments. Will take another battery with me next time.</p>

<p>Ninety minutes into a 2 hour walk in the cold (10° F) the battery level indicator started blinking and I was unable to take any more pictures. When I got home, the recharger showed the battery was 50% charged. The manual states the working temperature range for the camera is 32° F - 104° F, but with decreased battery performance at 32° F. Have others had problems with battery life at cold temperatures? Should I expect not to be able to use my camera at 10° F for an extended period of time?</p>
