And then also very quickly, in that five-minute making-of video, I wanted to call out – and I think I did this on Mastodon, but I wanted to call out here – I'm curious if anyone who's listening happens to know – I've seen a lot of conjecture, but I'd be curious if anyone knows – that whenever they show people watching back what they had just filmed on the Vision Pro, which they do a lot in this making-of video –

Every Vision Pro I saw, which maybe I missed one, but every Vision Pro I saw had the developer strap. But none of the developer straps were plugged into anything at the time. So were they actually using the developer strap the whole time and they were just not showing it for the purposes of this making of? Was it just that Apple happened to hand them developer strap-equipped Vision Pros?

I'm really curious what that was used for. So if you know, I don't need conjecture. I've heard all the theories. But if you know, you can tell me. I'm not going to tell anyone.

Yeah, I mean, and I've heard similar guesses before. The most common one would be, like, file transfer. You know, like, could you get file transfer onto this thing faster that way? And I don't have a good answer.

All right, let's do some Ask ATP. Maxell Amador writes, your recent member special episode about photo workflows inspired me to take a look at my own photo editing pipeline. Hopefully you use the three of us as cautionary tales. I shoot with my own iPhone 16 Pro camera and a Canon Rebel SL3 and sometimes an old film, Canon AE-1. Me too. Me too. Me too.

Should I shoot JPEG in RAW on the Canon or even the iPhone? Should I try something like Pixelmator Pro or stick with Apple Photos Editor? Should I avoid RAW completely since I'm such a noob? How does one get good at this? I missed the auto-enhance feature on Apple Photos and generally... Excuse me, I messed with the auto-enhance feature on Apple Photos and generally like the results...

But that is a big no-no with photographers, as it can overexpose or make some weird edits based on machine learning, maybe? I do generally enjoy photography as a hobby, but it seems daunting to me. I appreciate any tips for a very, very basic start to taking photos and editing them.

This was genuinely written by somebody named Maxell Amador, but it could have been damn near word for word written by me. So, gentlemen, I don't care which one of you it is. Maybe we'll start with Marco, but tell me, what do I do? What does Maxell do? What do we do?

Those are great answers. Thank you, gentlemen. Additionally, we have Scott Shuchart, who writes, I'm trying to compress three large-ish files, about 20 to 60 gigabytes each, using the Finder, and they're taking forever. According to Activity Monitor, Archive Service, which I assume is a compressor, is running six threads, but only using between 95% and 140% CPU.

This is in a MacBook Pro M2 Pro with 10 cores. Nothing else significant is happening. And it's plugged in with no fan noise. Why can't it spin up at least three performance cores to get this done faster? What are these chips for?

Now the show is over. They didn't even mean to begin. Cause it was accidental. Oh, it was accidental. John didn't do any research. Marco and Casey wouldn't let him. Cause it was accidental. Oh, it was accidental. And you can find the show notes at atp.fm. And if you're into Mastodon, you can follow them at C-A-S-E-Y-L-I-S-S.
