These updates are primarily bug fix updates though there are some new features in the Lightroom update. Lightroom has been updated to work properly on OS X 10.5 Leopard, includes some UI changes and the start of the long waited SDKs for third-party additions. The first [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/11/17/151/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/11/17/151/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/6p-VBWFT7E0/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/136/#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:05:06 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/136/ Michael Tapes of Raw Workflow has fairly well done video tutorial series explaining the mysteries of raw capture titled Raw Without The FUD. This series has been circulating the net with high praise and from what I can see, it looks well deserved. There looks to be a downside though. From what I can gleam on [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/136/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/136/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/9PHa4fLKoms/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/135/#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:49:01 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/135/ Eric Scouten from Adobe has an excellent article on creating work-lists using keywords. Prior to this I was using collections as a means of organizing images I needed to keyword and caption, but I found myself forgetting to update them as new images came in. Eric’s solution is much more convenient approach that utilizes a search [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/135/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/135/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/0ydUbG7yXiI/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/134/#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:39:47 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/134/ For a while now, I’ve been thinking of a ways to better organize my Lightroom Tips article. Early on, I recognized that as tips were added to the page, it would become difficult to find subject matter without some sort of organizational structure. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I already [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/134/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/134/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/ZyPXnlAGSuY/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/133/#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:27:21 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/10/05/133/ As a former windows user (since the 3.1 days) I would have never thought this tip was possible. I’ve been running with my preview folder linked as Sean describes since he first posted. It works like a charm.

The continuous shooting mode for the D300 is listed as 6 [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/131/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/131/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/8z07S8496y8/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/132/#comments Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:09:11 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/132/ I was over at DPReview drooling over the new D3 and I started to wonder; why do we keep calling digital SLR cameras DSLRs? The point in adding the "D" to "SLR" was to reduce confusion when discussing cameras. That, however, was during a time when digital SLRs were fairly young and many photographers still shot film... http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/132/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/22/132/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/Y0E-4WzDzQE/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/06/129/#comments Thu, 06 Sep 2007 17:45:09 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/06/129/ A super fast means of converting images to BW from almost anywhere in Lightroom. http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/06/129/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/06/129/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/0hlnxQoTWs4/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/128/#comments Wed, 05 Sep 2007 01:07:21 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/128/ For those interested in fooling around with Microsoft’s HD Photo format, here you go. Oh, and it should be noted, once HD Photo clears standardization, it will be renamed to the terrible JPEG XR moniker. How in the world does that name make a lick of sense? I’m sure the JPEG group is very proud of [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/128/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/128/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/PBPOp0eQ8ik/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/127/#comments Wed, 05 Sep 2007 00:49:14 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/127/ "It's easy enough to find out how long copyrights last, but much harder to decide how long they should last�??but that didn't stop Cambridge University PhD candidate Rufus Pollock from using economics formulas to answer the question. In a newly-released paper, Pollock pegs the "optimal level for copyright" at only 14 years." http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/127/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/127/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/EdTNbDYSxGk/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/126/#comments Wed, 05 Sep 2007 00:38:57 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/126/ Earlier this month, the Computer & Communications Industry Association1 filed a complaint with the FTC alleging that professional sports leagues, Hollywood studios, and book publishers were all using copyright notices that misrepresented the law. Now, the group has launched a web site called Defend Fair Use that shows they are serious about making [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/126/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/126/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/3EDBY9B1vDo/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/125/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2007 02:25:31 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/125/ California Sales Tax clarification for photographers. http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/125/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/125/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/9uOhrKMHbow/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/124/#comments Mon, 03 Sep 2007 23:43:27 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/124/ A recent article on O’Reily’s Inside Lightroom blog talks about the catalog selection screen in Lightroom. In short, if you have multiple catalogs you can set LR to ask you which catalog you wish to use each time LR launches. While convenient, there is an even easier way. Rather than managing another dialog box with each [...] http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/124/feed/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/09/03/124/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oaktree-imaging/~3/AqPFjwOVAsg/ http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/08/25/123/#comments Sun, 26 Aug 2007 01:37:09 +0000 Daniel http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/blog/archives/2007/08/25/123/ In 2005 Sony suffered a tremendous debacle over installing rootkits onto people’s Windows computers causing severe compromises to security and even damaging said computers. Judging by Sony’s handling of the situation I doubted they learned anything from their experience. It would seem I was right. According to Engaget, Sony is at it again.

The featured commentator, Adam Isler, on this TOP post sums things up nicely. Perfect illustration of one of the points I tried to make during the furious ‘Photography is Dead’ debate.
