You’ve hit the nail on the head, if all files uploaded or downloaded to forums etc are compressed anyway and on devices the difference is hardly noticeable, then why even care work8ng with big files in the first place.

But if you put the two next to each other on a big screen, the difference becomes visible. Something else that makes it worse is this: I printed both versions on A4 size photo paper with an above average printer. That’s when the difference speaks even more.

For now I’ve set up two channels: one fast track for normal day to day live and one “full size” track for the better pictures in full size.

Camera is set to JPEG, I wouldn’t even know where to start with RAW (that’s for the future to learn haha)
The focus area indeed is tiny compared to what Depth of Field should be. Will experiment and let your u know

Thanks for looking and sharing feedback

Macro versus compression

Hi As some of you might be aware of, I’m on a self-tutoring experiment with photography. One of the subjects I’m trying to master is macro photography. I thought that would be the proverbial “cup of tea”. I’ve got a pretty good camera Nikon D7500, pretty ...  

I saw the same model today at the VC boutique

Interesting real world example... the internet viewer (or smart phone user) will not be able to tell the difference... the marvels and convenience of technology ; ). What's the process when you shoot in RAW? I imagine the file is converted to in-camera jp...

Turn off the transfer, pull the card and stick it into your Mac, then drag in the photos.

Problem solved. I have to force myself to do this because the other way, as you have noticed screws up everything. I do have my desktop going to the Apple Cloud, but not my entire library which is still in (obsolete) Aperture. And I am backed up on extern... 

Thanks for your suggestion.

The transfer was one of the features why we selected this camera. Point being is that we typically collect all photos fr m iPhones etc in one shared iCloud folder for the family spread around the globe to see. Such folders are like near real time blogs. W... 

I think the dual track is the best approach

Frankly, the new generation of software and devices working with social media spreads across the web billions of images all tagged by time, subject, Face ID and location. Who could ask for more? Or less? Well, someone who doesn’t want his watch photos tag...

Digital photography. Start to understand systems. A mirror reflex camera, and all it’s benefits. What is important? 1. Light. Make pictures with good light. Example: Professional photographers use huge lamps. 2. Make pictures in RAW. This gives the maximu... 

Thanks for your input [nt]
