Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
RAW files, as the name implies, are completely unprocessed, so you have to open them in a graphics application and process them, but they contain *all* the information from the camera's sensor so you can effectively develop the picture.
This is good to know. The issue is that I'm trying to avoid what happened here recently, where we got a report with photographs from a contractor, but we didn't get the negatives, and the photos were small and scanned poorly. So I'm trying to write a scope that defines the deliverable appropriately, so I get something I can use in the future--both hard copy printouts and electronic versions of the images.
Sorry, my experience with bmp files is years old. I definitely associate it with low-res but my memory is that of a drowning gnat these days.
You probably associate bmp images with Microsoft paint, which used it as the default image format for years.
That's it, Gris!! Thank you.
I've decided to jailbreak my iPhone tonight so I can make it a wifi hotspot for my trip to MI. Wish me luck. Any helpful hints or horror stories I should hear?
What are you using for your source? I find LifeHackers jailbreaking/rooting suggestions pretty easy to follow. I had my Cliq up and running with CyanogenMod in no time at all following their guides.
Backup your phone first, but otherwise it's not so bad. I'm not sure about iOS 5 jailbreaks, but the ones for earlier OSes were not too hard.
Yep--I thought I'd try Cydia and MyWi from this LifeHacker article: [link]
I really only need to use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my iPad about three days of the year (otherwise I'm in places where I have access to other wifi sources), so it didn't make sense to shell out the extra for a dataplan on the iPad. And Apple doesn't have an official hotspot option for the 3GS, so jailbreaking seems like the best option.
ETA: Thanks, Gris. I did a dual backup this morning (the phone's usual one and another backup to an external drive).
An open office draw file is getting too big. If I start splitting it into multiple files is there a way to combine them at the end. That is add pages from one draw file into another?
Well, drat. The only jailbreaks for iOS5 are tethered. As I'm not taking my computer, this won't work. Oh, we'll. It's only two days and change, and I'll still have my phone.
