Why is it that a photo of image in magnifying mirror shows no magnification? I am not the downvoter, but I can certainly imagine that the question was downvoted because there are basically no details on which to base an answer (the "unclear or not useful" part of the downvote hover text). |

Do the differences in DIGIC engine affect RAW files in EOS 600d and EOS 650D? The part about the phase-detect pixels was removed from the question. |

Have cropped digital sensors reached their peak design limits? "An an 2009 interview"? :) |

Have cropped digital sensors reached their peak design limits? @Blrfl Right, and only later did they figure out how to make digital cameras... |

Is there a reason for raw over jpeg if you have your lighting figured out? Most (all) semi-pro and up cameras allow you to shoot RAW+JPEG. That way, you get the best of both worlds: the speed of working with JPEGs, and the versatility of RAW should it be needed for any reason. The only real downside is the increased storage capacity needed, but considering that 32 GB CF cards go for less than $100 apiece and will hold around 1000 images at high-res RAW+JPEG (and 64 GB cards can easily be sourced for around $150), this seems largely like a non-issue. |

Why don't most cameras store filenames based on date and time? @mattdm I won't go much further into details, but you may be interested in How did wildcards work in MS-DOS?, particularly the second paragraph from the top and the first file name expansion table. Note the wording "an implicit dot between characters eight and nine" near the top. The FCB APIs (DOS' CP/M legacy) did not want a separator. o3one.org/hwdocs/bios_doc/dosref22.html (search for function 0Fh Open Disk File and STANDRD FILE CONTROL BLOCK (sic)); note the absence of a separator in the FCB structure. |

Why don't most cameras store filenames based on date and time? Actually, FAT only supports 11-character directory entry names. These are commonly displayed as 8+3, but back in the old days, it wasn't all that uncommon to simply use all 11 available characters as the name with no specific extension. Of course, these days, using extensions is commonplace and anything else would at best cause much confusion. |

Canon DSLR USB Chargers? The native battery for the EOS 5D Mk III seems to be the LP-E6, which at 7.2V 1800mAh provides about 13 Wh of juice. USB 1.x and 2.0 provides for up to 500mA at 5V (2.5W), so it'd take about 5 hours to fully charge such a battery from empty if the charging process is 100% efficient (which it isn't, particularly since you'd need to step up the voltage). Looking at those numbers, it'd seem reasonable that such a charger exists; however, I don't think I've ever seen one. One almost certainly could be built. |

Converting F-Spot photo collection metadata to Corel Aftershot Pro? I ran across larsmichelsen.com/open-source/migrating-f-spot-to-darktable where there was a script which looking throgh the ASP documentation I was able to adapt to my needs. So while I didn't specifically end up using your answer, it definitely pointed me in the right direction. Thanks a lot! |

Where to start with photography? One great thing about digital photography is that several of the things one would normally have taken notes for before (I'm thinking primarily aperture and shutter speed, here) are recorded by the camera, inside the image file itself (in its metadata). Some cameras also record focal length and focus distance; others do not. So you can go back to an image taken long ago, and find most of the vital parameters for what made it come out the way it did. |

Cheap/free tool to view/convert Canon CR2 RAW format photo files on Windows? At least last I looked, Canon only offered updates which required that you had the original software. |

Is there a camera which can superimpose a subject onto a predefined background? How would it be any easier to do in the camera, with much more limited controls? You would still have to somehow pick out the part of the image you want to superimpose -- that's almost certainly easier to do on a computer than on a camera. |

Converting F-Spot photo collection metadata to Corel Aftershot Pro? Wonderful. I'll probably have a look at this during the weekend. Thank you for your help so far! |

Converting F-Spot photo collection metadata to Corel Aftershot Pro? Also, taking a random pick XMP sidecar file and looking at it, it seems to only hold the rotation setting for the photo. In particular it does not hold any tagging information (and I did verify that the image in question is categorized in F-Spot). |

Converting F-Spot photo collection metadata to Corel Aftershot Pro? I looked through the menus, but can't find anything to explicitly export to XMP. Nor any plugin which seems to do it. I did find the Store tags and descriptions for photos setting which I have set to Separately from the image files. Still, only a few of the files in my photos folder have XMP counterparts. This answer would be greatly improved if you can point me to the specific F-Spot option or setting that I can explore. |
