Is GPU or CPU more important for Photoshop and Lightroom? I agree very much with this answer. I recently upgraded to a new desktop system with on board the GTX690, one of the fastest GPUs currently available. It makes zero performance difference compared to my older entry level system. That's because the true bottleneck is typically in RAM, and in my case, storage. |

How do photographers manage multiple lenses? I agree with your assumption included: you have a topic you focus on with a focal length to match it. I, however, am a broad range wildlife photographer (amateur). I shoot anything from macro to landscape to midrange to telezoom. Even with 2 bodies this really is a challenge. |

Still-life reconstruction considered plagiarism? I find the term 'accidental similarity' interesting. What about the millions of extremely similar photos taken of the Eiffel tower or any other popular object each year? If similarity is the measure stick, does it always apply, or only apply on photos that are more 'unique'? And if so, how do you define unique? |

How do people shoot very large moon views? I once photographed the moon with a 500mm and still it was much further away compared to the example given. Are there other factors that matter? Or is this a crop? |

How do I explain that post-processing is an important step in producing good photos? I am also subject to overdoing saturation and contrast. My tip to control myself is to look at my edit the next day. Almost every time I then reduce the effect. More importantly though is to find meaning in your photographs, other than producing pretty vibrant colors, which is trivial to accomplish. I think a killer subject and composition will blow away your friends much more than saturated images. |

Best location for group photo near canals in Amsterdam I'm from the Netherlands, although not from Amsterdam. Personally, I think the Herengracht is a beautiful canal. It has many bridges that cross it, so many potential places to take the shot. It's also quite a busy canal though, but you'll have to work around that some way, as Amsterdam generally is small and crowded. As for your suggested shooting time, take note that in the winter the days are very short and your available light will already be limited by 16:00. |

How would one remove yellow eyes instead of red eyes? Yes, the goal would be to make it black, but not 100% black. |

How would one remove yellow eyes instead of red eyes? Thank you, although that does look like selective color replacement, it seems to work better compared to how I do such a thing in LR. |

Who owns the copyright of a picture taken of my construction work? Whilst maybe this architect is pushing pricing too far in your belief, I do think he is in his right in owning the copyright on the photo. In addition, if he really architected the building, it sounds a bit biased to me to say that it is you that has done the work. |

How could I make the most money from a sensationalist picture? In hindsight, would hosting such a viral video yourself be better? You'd have better control over DRM. |

Analysis of a macro shot with very fast shutter speed "Given how thoroughly 500px.com attempts to prevent any form of copying at all". I don't agree. Against the will of many photographers, 500px allows embedding of photos without permission. It's technically not the same as copying, but it's still publication without permission. |

What are some reasons to not display EXIF data when sharing photos online? @reid There is no single answer, but as I run a photo community website, I know that exif and iptc data combined can take up as much as a few dozen KB. Say 20-50KB. That's not killing for a large format photo, but it is substantial weight. On thumbnails, however, it is disproportional, the exif data can be larger than the actual file data itself. |

How to automatically identify bracketed image sets among 100s of images? Perhaps low-tech, but would the old panorama finger trick work for you? Simply end each bracket set with a shot of your hand, as a marker to end that series. |
