Bill, we can't do that bit just yet. It's a nice idea and I will propose it to the team for a future development.

All good ideas. Let me play and I'll come back to you. It may not be till next week as I am busy on other things tomorrow and the weekend. But I may ge time tonight.

I like "The Basics". Happy to add a "Photo Art" forum. Not sure about "Digital Darkroom". Personally, I prefer workflow. What do others think?
Alan
-
I do too…but maybe the term is too jargony? Digital Darkroom is certainly a valid description.
Not a hill I choose to die on.
-
Personally, I never use the word workflow: and I would suggest that it is too generic to mean anything. (Discussions on the order in which to set Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO?) I think The Digital Darkoom -- Tools and Methods would do the trick, assuming it is not too wordy.

Hi,
I called it Lightroom back in the days of the Kodak DCS 460 the files from which were processed using Photoshop 4 and a TWAIN driver.
But, maw dang, I forgot to copyright the term. ;)
Now it's trademarked so we can't use it.

OK. I had some time to spare, so I've made some minor updates based on the feedback above.
Have a look at dev2.dprevived.com to see the potential new layout. Don't worry too much if the name of the forum is too long. Arvo has some ideas on fixing that. And I will tidy up the actual names so they are consistant. I've put in some brief text under each master heading - these can be reworded, but it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Download version 3 of my migration spreadsheet which shows which threads from old forums will go to which new forums. There's two versions, one with compact cameras generally staying with the manufacturer and one (v3-1) which has compact camera threads all going into "Compact/Bridge".
Tell me which you prefer.But in general, I hope that's it. We have until the middle of next week to finalise this - and I am away for 3-4 days over the weekend (although I will log in to look at discussions).

Sorry Alan, I still don't get why "L-mount Systems" remains as a 'master heading' now that 4/3 and µ4/3 will move to under their respective manufacturers. In fact, I wonder why lens mounts have anything at all to do with the new direction that this site is taking which I understand is to be less gear-oriented ...
-
Only because I have no idea what consitutes 'L mount'. So, what cameras use the L mount system? If I can get rid of a forum, so much the better.
Alan
-
Leica Camera, Sigma, and Panasonic
-
Thanks! All of those are covered separately, so that sounds pretty redundant then, unless I'm missing something...
-
I'm happy to remove L mount and I'll try and move any existing threads to the appropriate target forums.
Alan
-
So where is someone to go who wants to use a Sigma lens for L on a Panasonic L and a Leica L camera (all these exist, even though not in huge numbers)..?
-
Or a Panasonic lens for L on a Sigma fp?
Or a Panasonic lens for µ4/3 on an Olympus µ4/3?
If one takes a picture with or has a question/statement about an L-mount lens on a Panasonic then one goes to the Panasonic category.
If one takes a picture with or has a question/statement about an L-mount lens on a Leica then one goes to the Leica category.
It's all to do with hierarchy, Robert.
If your suggestion is to keep the hardware-oriented L-mount "System" main category, then we should also have 4/3, µ4/3, M, E, F, SA, etc.
-
Thanks Xpat, that's what I would suggest too.
-
Yes I think it would be better if things were organised around the mount, not the brand: camera, lens and adapter that can be used together. Logical, not hierarchical.But I'm obviously in the minority, so be it
-
We did. in the poll, offer a version that was mount and sensor size oriented. But the majority didn't want that.
-
I just realized that Operating Systems Talk is only a short step away from the dumpster. 😧
I think this has been all talked out. Time to make the change and see how it flies.
