    "tombstoning" - never heard of before, had to look it up: the activity of jumping into the sea from a cliff or other high point. Apparently British.

    I had to look it up also............a very apropos word.

    Can Lightroom Classic be run on Lunix? 

    No, at least not that I know of. Writing code for its use on the Linux platform would not be profitable enough for Adobe. Money talks, free walks 🙂 Gimp and Darktable are free alternatives that would suffice for many photographers, albeit a bit of a learning curve. Both also work on Windows and OSx. The best thing about these two programs is: If you don't like them, or they are unable to meet your requirements, you are free to look elsewhere. They are like a free trial of a commercial program, but the free trial never ends 🙂

  3. MacOS and Apple products = "Don't even think about going 'under the hood' or changing anything about me; for that matter, I won't even let you! You just keep feeding me $$$ and I will do the rest..........relax.......you don't have to know anything about how I work."

    Window's OS and PCs = "I will provide you with a product that works pretty good for the $ you give me. I will let you upgrade my parts if you like for much less than my competitor. I will help you make things work."

    Linux OS = "I will let you do anything you like to your PC's operation.........provided you're willing to learn something about what goes on 'under the hood'. I and our community will do what ever we can to help educate you along the way........and it will cost you nothing but your time."

    Something I've wondered about is (AFAIK) slide projectors use halogen bulbs, so slides are projected at 3000K.

    one could be made from any hardwood or even a 2x4!

    I'm using my speedlight (with a diffuser) for illumination, which I think is around 5000K. The white balance seems right to me in general when doing my Kodachrome 25 slides. I am indeed using a 2x4 for my platform 🙂

    You are absolutely right Jeff.  Everything was left fairly vanilla during the first part of this "migration".  We are now trying to correct and finish things that should have been accomplished during pre-launch development production.

    The Wayback Machine is the perfect way to see what was.  Here is a sampling of our appearance through time.

    The best has been saved for last. This is what PhotoNet looked like in September 2022, just before this last "migration".

    "I met a traveller from an antique land,
    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
    And on the pedestal, these words appear:
    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1818

    Looking through your Wayback Machine, I think the layout in 2010 was the best. It was very easy to navigate using the tabs. Just my opinion 🙂

    Click on the arrow screen left, an X will appear on each of the boxes on the right. Click each, then click finish editing.

    I see no arrow on the left of the screen........could you please elaborate? Thanks 🙂

    This website continues to get more and more difficult to navigate 😞 It was so much simpler in 2007 🙂

    It's a bit scary to think that the A-1, my most treasured film camera will no longer have access to Oikawa-san's masterful attention.

    I haven't used my A-1 since the death of Kodachrome 25..............my favorite film 😞
