And there were two grades. There was silver and gold. And because collecting Grateful Dead shows is obviously, this is quoting Ian Still, very serious business, I only used the high grade slash gold ones. I had well over a thousand of these pieces of media. And looking at my trading logs, I had stopped collecting these shows in the winter of 1999.

I recently went to divest myself of all my physical media. And before I did, I re-extracted all of that to SSDs. 25 years later, after it had been put on this media, how many of those particular pieces of media were unreadable? Exactly one out of over a thousand. And even that one was mostly readable. There was just one song I couldn't pull off of it.

And even within that song, it was essentially one second. So yeah, I'd say this is, I will concede it's anecdata, but wow is a significantly strong anecdata. That depends, Marco and me. That's all I'm saying.

It was terrible and it wasn't. Hey, let's talk about photo editing. What is exposing to the right exactly? Marco, would you like to refine any statements or do you want me to handle it?

It was terrible and it wasn't. Hey, let's talk about photo editing. What is exposing to the right exactly? Marco, would you like to refine any statements or do you want me to handle it?

Yeah. The term exposing to the right comes from moving the histogram to the right, as in overexposing an image.

When shooting raw, exposing one-third or two-thirds brighter is the best way to maximize the data captured by the sensor for later processing. You can recover quite a bit of seemingly lost highlight detail in a raw image. Only when shooting JPEG do you want to expose for the highlights, as Marco described, to avoid completely losing data.

Do we want to discuss color spaces? All right. When shooting raw, this is Sam continuing. When shooting raw, the color space is determined when exporting from the raw processor. Adobe RGB is a good choice when exporting edited raw images to other formats. While the in-camera color space only matters for JPEG images, it should be set to Adobe RGB for when you do use JPEG straight from the camera.

It's a much bigger color space and the images look better as a result.

Although I feel like, and I can't substantiate this right now, but I feel like a lot of people said that Adobe RGB was not the right choice. Read the next item. Oh, there. Okay, maybe that's where I got it from. Leo Natan writes with regard to camera color space settings. Color space selection in cameras is applicable only for JPEGs. So far, we agree. Raw files do not contain any color space.

They are just 12 or 14 or 14-bit or more readouts from the sensor. Raw processors take these bits and convert them to a color space. When saving to JPEG, never use Adobe RGB, there we go, as it is a massive gamut, completely unsuitable for 8-bit JPEGs. You will see a lot of color banding. In my Nikon DSLR days, I got bit by Adobe RGB, making a lot of shots unusable.
