For example, Darktable stores the metadata (EXIF, tags, processing operations, ...) in a SQLite database for fast access, as well as in sidecar XMP files (plain-text XML) for portability (I back ...

I went out shooting some panoramas today with my X-T20, of the 11 sets I have, 3 sets ended with the 6th shots has nothing in focus (and thus had to throw away the whole set) So, the problem seems ...

Nobody mentioned the lock-in with those proprietary softwares. After years of using them, if the software is discontinued or if you decide to stop using them, your data (tagging, operations on the ...

Only if you had a good camera back then to capture those memories ... Your current camera is probably at least hundreds times more powerful than those huge machines. I guess I'm way off-topic :-)

I agree, don't want to lug around extra lens, or busy swapping lenses while being with my family, the camera should never be in the way of enjoyment. I have the X-T20 and 18-55 for 8 months, very ...

And the moment you've been waiting for, introducing the most emotional spring blooming ... They are so dreamy like paradise on an open field, but they could also induce rage when they are on your ...

I grew up with MS-DOS, then Windows 3.11 all the way to Windows XP. Got into Computer Science, started using free/open-source software exclusively (Ubuntu, Open/Libre Office, Darktable, GIMP, ...

I only lock the exposure as it's easy to draw masks to include/exclude part of a pic in Hugin. My final panos usually have most of the scene in focus, even the objects are at quite different ...

I don't know if this is related, but when I shoot a series of 5-8 shots for panorama on X-T20 with latest firmware, the 4th or 5th shot is completely out of focus, couldn't even find where the ...

it's a little cloudy today, doesn't look very cheerful ...

Look, a reputable camera maker made the statement, I found it reasonable and logical, so I reused it. You asked for the citation/source, I spent one precious minute on Google to find the link for ...

The free/open-source equivalence of Adobe ... Photoshop is GIMP ... Lighroom is Darktable ... Illustrator is Inkscape It's not the software that's free; it's you https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free ...

Awww, a few panoramas would have been fantastic from up there. Next time put your thumb at the nodal point of the lens, snap, rotate, and snap. Throw them into Hugin later to have most of them ...

On the first pic: the kids without helmet might get a ticket :-) (I assumed that was Vietnam)

Darktable doesn't have this problem. All metadata and operations applied to the photos are stored both in its internal SQLite database (current standard DB used by most apps) for fast access, as ...

I laughed, but then have to ask is that a joke or for real? Sorry, been using free/open-source (Darktable, Hugin, GIMP, ... on Ubuntu), doesn't really know much about subscription.

I have to admit the habit of underexposing -1/3 is from my years of using Nikon, as the D5100 and D5500 tend to overexpose a bit, and for bright scenes, I often underexpose -1EV to keep the RAW safe. ...

Well, you could have found the Nikon's claim with a quick search on your own, but yet you asked me. I could do the same and insert "[citation needed]" from the beginning to the end of your posts :-)
