hey folks,
im enjoying LR's ability to allow changes w/o commitment fears, and
unlimited undo. but thinking of the future im wondering:
1) if switching machines or platforms, can users bring their LR

If I shoot RAW and then in Photoshop, export it to a jpeg
with the highest ssetting, how much information is lost?
If I then bring that jpeg into PS and save it as a PSD, how much have
I lost?

  A few weeks ago I posted my intention to visit Luray Caverns, VA, and
asked for some photography advice. With your advice I visited the
facility, took some photographs, and posted a few to
       http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~neil/Luray/Caverns.html

There is lots of talk aboyt exposure bracketing, which I agree is (almost)
useless with RAW.
However, with current autofocus cameras, what would be extremely useful
would be focus bracketing. But apparently this does not exist.

Y'all might not have the patience for these, read the headers & be

Two still life's in the apartment of interesting furniture & musical
instruments:

Does a video camera exist that gives at least standard TV-level
resolution (480 lines) with all the manual controls of a $30,000
camera, but for less than $7,000? If so, what is it? If not, what is
the point of charging so much for all those controls?

I really love my new digital camera and enjoyed taking LOTS of
pictures during our 5 month trip to Baja.  Now I'd like to be able to
share pictures with friends.  I'm trying to load pictures from Adobe
Photoshop Album starter edition 3.0 to "Webshots" and I can't figure

Two years ago we tried Virtual Tours using someone else and didn't
notice a difference to our business.
All I can say now is WOW and thanks to http://www.panpics.co.uk.

Does increasing the ISO setting on a digital camera do the same thing as
opening the shutter?  If so, is there any info on the shutter stop
equivalent for a given increase in ISO?

My 2 year old 20D doesn't release shutter anymore. Became useless
right in the middle of my trip to the NY Auto show. No Errors, no
issues with anything else, it even displays 'busy' when clicking but
nothing happens. I am not a professional so have hardly used it

Almost everyone in my family owns some sort of digital camera but unlike the
old celluloid days, the images seem to stay on a hard disk instead of making
it onto those quaint 6" x 4" bits of paper which could be handed round for
grannies and ageing aunts to coo over.

Going from a 1/1/7" and doubling its size in 2 dimensions, which would
produce a sensor similar in size to an Olympus 4/3rds or about 2/3rds
the the size of an APS-C sensor.  Put it in a decent camera body
coupled to a reasonable f.l. zoom, like a 28-130mm equivalent.

I'd like to avoid paying upwards of $50 for a "genuine" CA-PS700
battery eliminator.
Can anybody suggest a known-good, cheaper alternate?

I have a dilemma as we have a Disney Vacation scheduled for May 11th
and I am in need of a new digital camera.  I have utilized the Sony
707 over the past five and a half years but I am now encountering
problems and technology has passed it by.
