Might I dare say, a final resting place. Asked politely to stop by Drmn4ea, beaten buy brite_eye, and now quarantined by daBass, this will be my last post. I wish it wer'nt so, but quotes no more; just this a last before I go:

dakotmod, you look so lonely. I am hoping to draw some attention to this thread giving you some company. Are there any journalism students interested in blogs, frays, and other non technical apects of this camera hack? If watching, this is the thread for you to evaluate and criticize our progress and poor communication - I like to be annoyed sometimes; it can signal a healthy mental state. Until company arrives here is a song you might like (I'd not sing it to you but certainly would to my better half). http://www.lyricsfind.com/b/bob-seger/against-the-wind/you'll-accompany-me.php Bob Seger was local, and I heard him sing in small places - Hideout one was called if my memory is right.

A thought for holiday parties. Have any of you ever participated in drunken group YMCA singing. This year change the Y to a D and add some 1 finger salutes. Just discovered a 3 finger salute has also been called a Vulcan nerve pinch. I like that better - who will be first to publish results using that name.

Hello! The whole brite_eye/dakotamod thing going on means that they're both, I repeat both working on the camera, a very good friend of mine was extremely schizophrenic. And his other personality helped him finish and Pioneer a new type of pacemaker. I'm still a happy I have a healthy heart though :) and I wonder if brite_eye is incredibly gorgeous as dakotamod is. I bet he's still has it going on, all that smartness and good-looking!!!! I would certainly never turn him down no way! He can work my camera anytime! And look at my briar patterns!

From the newest Applications thread We/I = 1, I'll take blame for both of us.

IMHO it's spiced up the forum and provided a chuckle more than once, so I didn't want you to feel too discouraged for being stuck here. Congrats on the work release, too bad about having to share your lady though.

'Allo all! :)

Couldn't find a PM function - am just replying to a post by brite_eye about file undeletion software.

B_E:

Have found PC Inspector ( http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm ) to be sort of nice. A little bit unstable every now and then, but can usually get files back if nothing else has been written to the drive the files were on. If it is crashing, have read that using the menu instead of the initial dialog box helps.

Hope this does help.

For everyone else, hope you did have a merry holiday / day off! :)

I shot a bunch of photos that I was going to post on my gallery this evening. I imported them into Photoshop (checkmarking "delete from the camera after download") and the cat brushed up against the reset button and I lost all of the photos! So, I took the cover off the computer to physically disconnect the reset switch and noticed that some of the electrolytic capacitors near the CPU are bulging up. Bad electrolyte. Now I have to decide whether to purchase a new motherboard (can't really afford that right now) or try to find replacement caps and solder them in. The computer is running fine for now, but I've seen this happen on many computers and they will eventually die and die hard. Suffice to say, I'm a little bummed out.

Once I learned to spell referrer*, I learned how to make a special message for pc world readers. The trouble is that pcworld doesn't provide an accurate document.referrer tag, so other things (like getting the page from a bookmark) will trigger the message. Try it by clicking here and then clicking on the address bar and pressing return (reloading won't work).

I can't tell how many visitors I have because I didn't opt for the more expensive plan with my hosting place.

*I would have spelled "referrer" correctly, but the example code I found had misspelled it!

I started to respond under Drmn4ea's recently posted photo, but decided to be discontinuous and place what may annoy some here instead.

Well, having been raised a Christian and sometimes still a participant in rituals, I probably should be offended. But look at my comments under Pink Bubble Burst photo and "rains or freezes" becomes quite mild compared to Mother Earth and Father Sun placing pagan Sun worshippers above warring religions.

tweak needs a twack - he must have been very annoyed to have lengthened 8 of our threads. It seems he tried firmware updates without reading all of the posts in all threads at least two times - a very important first step. For any others not wanting to risk a fried camera please do not even attempt firmware updates. I highly recommend obtaining photos using PV2Tool unlock and cheez/libusb driver combination, until you are so satisfied that you have purchased at least 3 cameras. Also if you do decide to try please use brite_eye's one instruction zap and morceeba's pv2mod (recently confirmed by nilloc) or wait for a single block version of PV2Tool. tweak, please apologize in this thread only for causing several readers inconvenience - or if not at least delete your profile home page reference (we do not care for prom pictures of a out of control frustrated poster). Did you intend to come back and read answers to your posts in each of the 8 threads? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Incongruities: Needs to be told how to mod firmware, but somehow finds/knows about 3 volts on pin 4??

Who is Kman, Kiram or K - I are am? Maybe Cypress take over was not good 4 all. Was the firmware a trap of sorts (or did it contain some magic code) – did anyone download a copy? Is Kiram only 19 as indicated in his profile?

How about his comment “good luck on getting a custom raw image decoder working” – was there a hidden chuckle?

For now I suggest we all follow a see no, hear no, speak no policy about who K might be. I am waiting to feel more revelations.

sailpix - I was very pleased with all the additional features of the blue flatfoto until the low light flash stopped working. With a $25 256M sd flash card you will be able to take many many honey moon moons. Note that you can also easily place a previously downloaded raw on the sd card and process it normally through flatfoto2 software. I was able to use ForkBoy's pv2tool to download firmware and it was the same size file, but somehow I lost it and have not been able to disassemble as planned. I am going to try to buy another for $49 and hope I will not have to return due to a burned out flash bulb. Actually if new one stops working, I now have a couple of fried cameras that might provide a working bulb. I hope to see some of those honeymoon moon shots upon your return (note that you may even be able to get some double moons using the timer - which I think has 2 settings available in options menu). Also try to get some in bright sunlight to demonstrate SMaL's extended dynamic.

There will be digital pix from the honeymoon - but probably just one moon... You can find other moons on the 'net I'm sure. Probably not FlatFoto tho - fiancee has "slightly nicer" many-use thingie called Canon EOS 20D.

I'm most interested in the .RAW -> SD -> FlatFoto2 -> TWAIN driver trick since it will let me observe processing of some of these images that still break, slightly, with my code. And without taking the risk of uploading flash to my Wolf/Ritz 6410 gadget. I have to wonder if the Foxz2 code is decompressing correctly - maybe my code is duplicating Foxz2 algorithms perfectly and that's why a couple bytes come out bad when compared to original flash dumps.

I took a couple shots the other day looking straight into my garage halogen work light. Brighter - yes, but maybe not at the sun's level. All "developed" through my code perfectly... We'll see what I can get this weekend at the lake.

Wow - can't wait for some side by side shots showing SMaL outperforming a $1000 Canon. I believe that 20D raws only have 12 bits (expanded to 16 bits for tiff). Under the right high light low light conditions such as a landscape with bright sun and dark shadows, there is a chance that the 120db claim of SMaL might actually produce a "better" photo. I anxiously await a reality check via simultaneous pictures from each camera.

Stupendous work by sailpix and daBass. How much sleep loss daBass? Thanks for the quick raw viewer, but after looking at my sunnycad - where's the Brite? I am still hoping for some autobrite info, but suspect it probably does not exists unless segmentation is related. After recently reviewing SMaL imager specs, I am wondering if Drmn4ea will be able to select 12 bit pixel option for better raws.

Not much, most of the hard work was already done by sailpix, I just wrote a wrapper around it in around 2 hours flat.

The brite has to come from image processing:

1. proper deBayer, (although my quick and dirty one does the trick).
2. Using the information in the RAW file (Image average / ????? ).
3. Red / Green / Blue adjustment (probably just tone down the Green).
4. Gamma correction.
5. Doing it in the correct order.

The next version of the RAW viewer will have some selectable image processing included.

Don't know about that one.
