I find the quickest way to review a whole folder of photos is to open it in list view, select the first and tap the space bar to view it in Preview, then just use the up or down arrows to scroll...

As this article's final paragraph says, phase-detection becomes less possible as light levels lessen. It also grows less practicable as cameras get smaller, with less distance between opposite...

It would certainly make the site more congenial. It's not uncommon to see two dozen almost identical photos of the same thing, as if the photographers had set their cameras on 'continuous' and then...

Two possibilities come to mind, neither of them likely, I'm afraid. Could the files be zipped (it's possible to have the Mac set to zip every file once you've closed it)? Or could you be using a...

While we're at it — this may be tempting a whole different discussion — I'd suggest that given today's technology the perfect device for focus control is no longer a dial around the lens, but a...

The model proposed is big for my taste. Perfection for me would combine the R100’s full-frame sensor with the S110’s size and focal reach and the LX7’s brightness at the long end. I should think...

I've been using Macs for 28 years. For the past 18 of those I've been using them for photography and graphic design. I have never had a Mac break — nothing, ever, anywhere — but I still buy...

Without knowing when you bought the original device, we have no way to judge your dispute with Apple's warranty decision. What the incident does tell us, though, once again, is the value of the...

Thanks. I hadn't connected that preference with that problem; I love Adobe's products but their nomenclature sometimes defeats me.

It's voodoo, my friend. Remember Chief Dan George's great line to Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man? “Sometimes the magic works: Sometimes it doesn't.”

Haven't seen anything in the redesign so far that I shouldn't be able to get used, and some of the changes are a good idea. I worry a little that being able to format comments in the forums will be...

This question may not relate solely to Photoshop's use on Macs, but historically some of its controls have operated differently on PCs, so I'm asking it here.The control windows (most importantly...

I never thought the matte-surfaced S95 lacked grip-ability, and putting the front bar grip on the S100 seemed to me to spoil a beautifully clean design for the sake of solving a problem that didn't...

The fn-key doesn't appear to do quite that in Mountain Lion. Fn and the down arrow will take you to the last page (even if that's page 500 of a 500-page template in which you've only got half a...

I'm running InDesign CS6 on an iMac (Mountain Lion) with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. So far as I can find, InDesign has no specific commands to take the cursor to either the top or bottom of a...

No, what I'm proposing would let posters put up as many pictures as they chose, as long as the pictures aren't virtually identical — that is, if you fit one over the other there would be virtually...

The improvement I would most like to see in Flickr is a filter that would catch multiple postings of the same photo, or of photos that are virtually identical. One of the chief pleasures of the...

You're quite right. Very often the mouse and zoom key are perfectly efficient. There are times, though, when they're less so than the alternative I propose.Let's say that in a wedding photo of a...
