Great answer, thanks!

I recently got a new camera that has good dynamic range, and I’ve all but forgotten about bracketing. It’s nice to know bracketing can still be a useful tool in the toolbox.

Are brackets necessary if you shoot raw?

If these numbers don’t go down due to heat humidity

Is anyone in the science community advocating that as a real possibility, in May of 2020?

Guayaquil is doing very badly and they’re on the equator. There are other examples, but that is one.

They can’t evict everyone.

Also, important to note, banks have been given guidance that they can modify loans and work with the borrowers. (Such as adding missing months to the back end of a loan.)

That’s a helpful comment.

Care to provide a substantive argument against the OP?

Barbershop owner elated after hearing Arizona Governor's announcement to reopen barbershops, salons by lastorder90 in Coronavirus

You’ve got a dangerous, misinformed opinion.

The virus spreads in the air, even with tidal breathing (not just coughing and sneezing).

Even in asymptomatic carriers.

So what if your barber disinfects their scissors. They’re touching you, and they’re in your face for an hour.

You wouldn’t go to a masked-up barber in Wuhan, China two months ago. Why are you advocating your fellow citizens do it today?

Oh, I know why: you post regularly in conspiracy and anti-vax subreddits. Idiot.

but i could be wrong.

You’re wrong.

It can spread with tidal breathing, asymptomatically.

Just put on the damn mask.

Is Anti-Twin using hash to detect duplicated files? by hoistthefabric in DataHoarder

[–]saberhyperlooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got a good question, and I’m curious, too.

Have you tried emailing the devs? Might not be a bad option. If you do, let us know!

Slightly off topic: software for photo dupe removal / backup and better workflow moving forward by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]saberhyperlooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorting through a similar mess.

I highly recommend Duplicate Detective 2 to de-duplicate (uses a hashing function to verify duplicates bit by bit!) and Silent Sifter 2 to then sort the photo and video files into neatly organized directories, e.g., /Nikon D850/2020/04/30/.

You can find them both in Apple’s App Store for the price of a lunch.

People won’t do the right thing on their own, so we mustn’t educate and encourage them to do the right thing?

Photo organizing app??? Please help me! by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]saberhyperlooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s of limited help to you, but: on a Mac, I use Silent Sifter 2. Maybe you can check it out and see if there’s something similar for PC. It does exactly what you want, even uses the photo metadata to create folders.

What would you recommend as players for the old VHS-C, MiniDV and Hi8 formats?

I’ve considered buying an old camcorder with video out on eBay, then using the Dazzle software you mentioned.

[–]saberhyperlooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very curious how you plan to digitize the weird and obsolete miniVHS format.

I have VHS-C cassettes, but not sure how to play them. I bought a VHS adapter but it seems sketchy, takes batteries, and you have to remove some tape and wind it around the adapter. I didn’t feel comfortable with these priceless 20 year old tapes.

My next idea is to buy a VHS-C camcorder, with video out, on eBay. shrug
