    How do you import raw and jpg files separately into Mac?

    @Fred I beg difference. I think all cloud services do the same thing including iCloud (changing name by exif data). And even Photos app would import your photo files with the same y-d-t name. But I'll lose DB for other reason. @Dawg But you have no way to know the y-d-t unless looking into...

    How do you import raw and jpg files separately into Mac?

    Hi, I have been using both dropbox and Photos app to import Nikon image files into my mac machine (with card reader). Up to now, both methods hit rock: Photos actually bump from the beginning as it imports raw and jpg as a combo (j) instead of two separate files (nef and jpg); dropbox did well...

    Need review on my landscape photo experiment

    Thanks, Cindy. Yes, I have studied both "dynamic range" and "HDR" and I do agree with you that cameras' image sensor is far inferior from normal human eyes. Yet the details of how cameras visualize and perceive a scene as well as how they proceed and set all parameters to take a shot are still...

    How to show exif quickly on Mac

    Thanks, Fred. There is nowhere to scroll in Preview as what I got: Any idea? RRA.com responded to my email and stated that "... the most common reason is that Apple's Launch Services database has not updated. The fix is to reboot your computer." It's not the right time for me to reboot...

    Batch processing in Darktable

    Hi, I am a new user of Darktable and I am learning batch processing in Darktable (don't have Lightroom or Photoshop) for "Startax" multiple night-star shots into a startrail image.
