I hear a lot of photographers who believe it is a waste of time to add keywords, GPS locations, or other metadata to their images because "I don't need any help searching, I can remember exactly...

I quit buying LaCie drives a very long time ago. There are too many other companies producing better, more reliable enclosures for less money.

You have to admit, though, reproduction on newsprint is one of the cruelest and most demeaning insults you can foist on images shot with $5000 worth of photo gear. You might as well use a camera...

But if your feed reader brings you articles from any websites that are also newspaper brands, then you're still affected by this story.

Stories and pictures don't write themselves...

That's not what I heard. Not all camera makers document their raw data for the software makers. Some camera makers provide some code, but in the discussions I read this code is often just a "black...

Aperture or Lightroom won't stop you from doing that. While both apps can copy images into a proprietary storage area, iPhoto-style (which I hate), both apps also let you avoid that and simply...

It's probably inaccurate to think that there is a single point in time where Apple "fixes" Maps. From reports, it sounds like Apple Maps is improving over time as their people work on it. As with...

Syncing photos with the iPhone and iPad doesn't have to be affected by which application you use. I don't use iPhoto, but I still sync photos to my iOS devices. When you sync photos in iTunes, you...

I don't think there's any more of a risk to that than if you opened the same lossless format image (e.g., TIFF or PSD) repeatedly in multiple sessions in just Photoshop. What you lose is the...

One thing I did was create an address book entry for junk calls. When I get one, I add its number to that entry. That entry is set to a silent ringtone and no vibrate. When it calls in the future,...

Once all the photos are in subfolders in Pictures, you could leave them there forever if you like. Most good photo management software will not need to move them to a different location. For...

I'm pretty sure most video sites don't allow direct download on Windows either. You may have had a plugin or extension installed that made it easier. In most Windows and Mac browsers out of the...

Thanks, that's a great tip. It still doesn't let you browse adjacent images in the folder with the arrow keys if you only selected one image, but it's still going to come in handy.

Maybe not software in the traditional sense, but Apple has already started down that road long agop with iTunes Match. The reviews are that it is a great, convenient service, and I think it could...

Yes, Apple will. There are already rumors that AppleCare may be going to a subscription model .

I believe DNG is a lossless version of the original, but I could be wrong. I think the way it works is to standardize how the raw sensor data is formatted, not to standardize how the data is...

I also do not understand the statement. Bridge is extremely clumsy as a DAM and drives me up the wall. Lightroom has much more efficient shortcuts, filters, and aids for keywording and other...

I can tell you that I run Photoshop CS6 on a 10.6.8 Mac. Works great. Probably because that's what the system requirements say. Looked up CS6 and it says "Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative...

DNG actually does all of that, but the catch is, there is no industry standard for edits. Even if two programs have a control called Exposure, they probably have different code that gives different...

Whatever DNG is won't affect which software you edit in, so it shouldn't affect your decision as to what software to use. DNG is a way to preserve the original camera raw data. It is not currently...
