ehm… somehow the text between disappeared. This comment was about the website for a spa in Aspen that you mentioned.

Hi Scott –

RE: <>

At first sight very pretty indeed, but press F5 (I mean refresh) and notice the low-res sky. Completely out of sync with the landschape. A fine ‘photoshop gone bad’ example if there ever was one, wouldn’t you say?

Hi Scott – one additional follow-on to noting the matte option for the revised 17″ is that there is a company providing a matte screen change out for the new 15″ MacBook Pros for $199. The vendor – TechRestor – link is in this posting on MacRumors:http://www.macrumors.com/2009/01/07/mwsf-tidbits-modbook-pro-matte-screens-tune-blocker-gorilla-pod/

Hi Scott – some good news from today’s Macworld Keynote in S.F. The revised 17″ MacBook Pro has the same design as the 15″ but from the start they are offering it with an “anti-glare” option in addition to the glossy screen. I know many have been vocal about the glossy-only approach to the MacBook and the 15″ MBP and the 24″ display that replaced the 23″ matte Apple Cinema Display. I hope we see the anti-glare option made available for the other glossy products.

On the not-so-good news side, it’s the same large glass button-less / it’s all a button trackpad.

Hi Scott,

I cannot believe Apple got rid of the trackpad button. That will drive me absolutely nuts! I am glad my MacBook Pro is still under a year old… I won’t have to upgrade for awhile. So hopefully they bring it back or have time to get the gestures worked out before I have to upgrade.

In the mean time you can try using MultiClutch. It is a new software tool that allows you to map keyboard shortcuts to gestures. The nice thing is that it also allows you change the mappings of other gestures… so if you have a gesture that you are always doing by accident you can remap it to do nothing so that when you accidentally do it nothing will happen. The link to the web page for MultiClutch is here: http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-i-touch-my-cell/

Enjoy!

If anything, it is quite rude to push someone around to get a picture. However, my opinion is coming from my one semester of experience in the high school newspaper photography department.

You bring up an interesting point about that being staged. While I haven’t seen the video, I would think that it is staged. I always operated as an observer and got myself into locations where I could get a good angle and show what was going on – this did not include pushing, shoving, or staging.

Hi Scott – was there ever any traction for an “official” written communication from NAPP on behalf of its members to Apple regarding the new screen and trackpad / gestures issue that it was creating / is creating and requesting, at minimum, as a courtesy to Apple’s many photographic users a way to turn off gestures? I’d favor an inclusive CC list including the relevant VPs and – this is critical: board members. If you want to see action from senior management at a company, create a situation where a board member is going to ask them about it.

Can’t figure out where to post this question/rant, but thought I’d try here. My comments relate to photojournalism, and specifically to the photographers covering the slimeball Madoff. I watch CNBC and they continually show a clip of photographers violently pushing Madoff back so that they can get a picture. One can only imagine the expression that results in. Is this considered acceptable behavior? Would seem the photo, as captured, is at least in part “staged” due to the intervention of the photographer into the scene. Would think that would be similar to intervention by post-processing, a much hotter topic of late.

And please do not take this as any support for that thief.

>My prints from both my Epsons, and from MPIX.com are coming out fine….

But do they match the display? Do they match your higher end, desktop display? Fine isn’t quite the term I was looking for before making a jump on a new MacBook Pro. The glossy screen is still a deal breaker for me.
