Said the same when installed QT7.5
The following may be very similar: when I chose a powerpc Macintosh in
1997, I did so because I could digitize analog video with an Avid card
which used QT3. That was Mac OS 8 to 8.6. I did enjoy doing small clips
out of my Sony camcoder. Then it came Mac OS 9, and QT4.
Goodbye Avid card. But which really bothered me was that I was not able
to un install QT4 and go back to QT3 - had to format disk !
When talking to our Apple rep. here (we have a friendly relationship)
they smiled: 'QuickTime is Everywhere', as Apple ad used to say.
So I think I should wait 'till I format this xp again (again and again
... ) - only to have my Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current
English 7th Edition, on screen.
In the meanwhile, I made a good scan in sRGB - while my workflow is to
make them in aRGB and convert when necessary. Shall upload it for you
and anyone to look at later today. Moosify 'a piacere'.
Now that we are at it, I have an important question I cannot answer myself:
Under Edit -> Color Settings -> Advanced Controls, there's a checkbox
'Blend RGB colors using gamma [ 1 ]'
Should I check it and leave '1' as the most appropriate value?
By default, the box comes un - checked.
Why? - I'm suffering metaphysic concerns regarding gamma values:
1 is the gray point value in the histogram, is it at the same time gamma
= 1?.
Then, there are windows gamma values and mac gamma values, and native
gamma values too - at least in Mac OS, Classic and OS-X.
Yet to see native gamma values for each brand of IBM compatible computers.
TIA for any suggestion able to feed my metaphysic obsession.
See why I still shoot film ?? - really, I don't like these 'petite
machines' - simply put, now you can't get rid of them.
Just like in obsessive-compulsive neurosis, you can't get rid of rituals ...
