The end result is a clone of the source drive. Where one could nitpick is what the process should be called. The term 'cloning' could be reserved for creating a full clone from scratch. Whereas ...

I cannot comment on what is posted on Facebook because they won't let me see anything without creating an account.

Sure, but those 87 employees work in widely different field, from software to backpacks, microphones, flashes, camera bags and lenses. The whole discussion here in terms of products is only about...

Yup, that 'many backups' above is mainly a euphemism for Time Machine. Though your 'incremental backups' is normally called versioned backups, 'incremental' simply refers to only changes being ...

"Companies do not depend on a single signature, and indeed not a s single key man, even if a small enterprise."
Really? What about small law or medical practices with only one licensed attorney or...

Sure, but Meyer-Optic has legal contracts with Kickstarter, lying about something that almost certainly would be exposed eventually would only generate (more) fraud charges. Equally, any public...

Entropy:
Really? Can you point me to any news reports of serious (but non-fatal) traffic accidents where the persons involved are mentioned by name?

It's a 15-person company. Knocking out the brains, money and public face of such a small company can easily throw things out of balance, in particular if they have been teetering already before that.

Chris, Meyer-Optic might have been in serious trouble already before the accident, but I see no reason to doubt the accident story. You don't lie about such things when dealing with (financial)...

A TM backup is also POFF, just with multiple hard links to the same data (my point being that a TM backup can be accessed via the Finder in exactly the same way as a clone backup). But otherwise I ...

In terms of shooting raws with the iPhone camera, I am currently using Halide which does save the raw file 'to' iCloud (plus optionally a full-size JPEG). But I am more interested in the opposite ...

You boot from something else (recovery partition, internet recovery, target disk mode) and then reformat the internal drive with Disk Utility. After that you re-install the OS and you have a ...

While cloning will most likely work as well, there can be minute differences in the OS that are machine-specific (eg, hardware component drivers) and thus might be missing after such a clone job.

This was not a question about Lightroom (CC) but about (Apple) Photos and iCloud Photo Library. And it was not motivated by a desire to edit images (or raw files in particular) on iOS devices but ...

My 256 GB iPhone is starting to produce low free space warnings. Most of the storage is taken up by images. As I currently use the Photos (Mac) library for all my (new) photography, it contains a ...

What's worth throwing away is the 'throwing away' of highlight data at above base ISO settings. Ok, some of that might be needed as part of the analogue amplification but beyond that there is no...

The D850/810 has an ISO value of 64 because Nikon has a "better command of quantum mechanics". No "or" needed here. Where "better command of quantum mechanics" stands for higher saturation capacity...

@Mdayonline
Re-read what I wrote. I made it crystal-clear that I was referring to situations "when an automatic exposure mode is used". Are you really going to claim that the camera will not choose...

@Lee Jay
The effect you are describing is only a secondary effect. Increasing the ISO by a stop or two (at the same exposure) will only moderately reduce (read) noise. Increasing the exposure by a...

The higher the conversion ratio between pixel saturation percentage (ie, how much light it has received, in percentage terms, compared to its saturation level) and final image relative brightness...
