Jay I am not clear here.

[Zach Matthews]

It will cast at any range, but it will certainly handle an extra line size or even two.

[Zach Matthews]

Whoa.

[Zach Matthews]

Here’s a bit of an interesting side-topic.

[Zach Matthews]

The blog transition is almost complete.

[Zach Matthews]

That’s familiar software.

Aaron –

I appreciate the enthusiasm for this board and this site a lot, believe me, but I am going to have to veto this one.

[Zach Matthews]

Ben –

You’re right.  If you edit and color correct in Adobe RGB and then convert to sRGB as a last step, you may as well have slid your saturation sliders up by about 20 points.  sRGB is more colorful than Adobe RGB in terms of how it displays (you guys can debate why this is true; I just know how it looks).  If you swap spaces after processing in Adobe RGB, then you just stepped back to square one in terms of color correction, and you have to start all over.

That’s why I shoot in RAW if it’s for print and process strictly in sRGB.  I’ll process my TIFFs in RGB going forward once they are accepted.

Here’s another critical thing to keep in mind for those of you not used to working with fly fishing editors: most of these guys don’t take the time to think out how a picture *might* look if processed correctly.  They just do a thumbs up/thumbs down on what they see in front of them.  That’s why I NEVER send RAW images in even if I am asked.  I just process and send in TIFFs.  What the editor sees is your work product.  Why would you give him incomplete work?  Show him the photo at its best, which almost always means color-corrected in sRGB for internet viewing (most of these guys don’t do anything in Photoshop themselves, and some don’t even have the program).  Then if he requests a full-res copy, you can process up to TIFF in Adobe RGB  (if you think it’s worth it – frankly, I rarely do, and I’ve published more JPEGs than I can count at this point).

That’s going to be the trick, Bob.

Bob –

We’re basically going to be there for lunch and supper Friday, breakfast, lunch and supper Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.

[Zach Matthews]

Kevin –

We’re going to need more burners at a minimum.

[Zach Matthews]

Photoblog transition is complete.

[Zach Matthews]

Please understand that this is completely apolitical, but utterly hilarious.

[Zach Matthews]

Ben –

Space.

[Zach Matthews]

Hmm.

[Zach Matthews]

That’s a good tip, Kevin.

[Zach Matthews]

Rolling out the changes.

[Zach Matthews]

I actually thought the TCR was the most gorgeous rod Sage ever made.

[Zach Matthews]

Dude that rod is a long way from Winston green.

[Zach Matthews]

I thought the magnetic strip thing was amazing, and I’d certainly see it being used to, say, close handwarmer pockets on the side of a jacket when they weren’t in use.  I wouldn’t expect them to leak at all in that situation; submersion as you say would be different.

There are a million things William Joseph could do with that idea.  Rather than just limiting it to a certain line, I hope they extend the tech out across their entire product range and just use it as needed to keep zippers and bulky flaps to a minimum.
