Or you could open it once, save it with very high compression, no need to do it 599 more times.


Actualy Jimnms, This is an over stated point that saving a JPG more than once is continually destroying it.

Lets say you start with say a Kodak Photo file.
-The first person takes this file, saves it as a JPG and sends it to person #2.
-Person #2 opens it, Crops it and resaves it as a JPG, then sends it back to #1.
-Number # then opens the file in Photoshop to look at it, and hits Save As, selects JPG and saves it to their USB Stick and then passes it to their designer.
- The designer then has to open the file, edit, levels, Brightness, contrast etc. and then saves it again.
-The oops' The designer realizes they wanted a fade or blend on the edge, so they open the file make the changes, and save "again"

Now that file has been JPG'ed 5 times and that's being reserved. It could get saved 2-3 more times minimum. By the time this file gets put into a layout and sent to the press, it is so badly degraded, it isn't worth using. You can't tell by looking at it on the computer screen, but you sure notice it after your very costly print job comes back.

I don't know how many times I need to emphasize to clients that I need the "RAW" file. Very often, I get, "Oh, we don't have anything other than that, we just downloaded that off our web site. Then we go back to the drawing board and we start over...

This is why I need to have a kid just because these magic kodak moments!

sweet. midnight movies.

road trip!

there's 2 great indie theaters here in rochester.
the little, and the dryden, which is an adjunct to the home of George Eastman, inventor of roll film and founder of Kodak.

eeyeah. shazbot, dag. great scene.
if kodak could still market their stuff that well, they wouldn't be half-dead.

i know. i live here.
grew up with their smokestacks on my horizon.

Oh, how good am I? http://www.videosift.com/video/Excited-Pug-Ruins-Kodak-Moment

hey!
i have the perfect script for this!

it opens with a shitty montage of Rochester, NY and how every tech job at Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch & Lomb has been outsourced.
then it cuts to the protagonist's shitty breakup with a quirky single mom 5 years ago, while his brother develops a shitty crack habit, despite knowing better, because he's the only guy having an even shittier time than the protagonist!

i'm just trying to work in a Good Will Hunting-type ending,
without making it feel like a deus ex machina.

oh, and it needs a director.
the one we hired is way too much of a perfectionist.

It's like the New Coke! No, I mean... it's like Kodak film!

The theory's been around since 1987 when electroluminescent organic compounds were discovered at Kodak and we've had 3 color compounds for about 10 years now. The lifetimes were an issue 5 years ago but still even then practically no one made and sold anything w/them. The cost to mass produce them is REALLY cheap too because the compounds can be soluble in common organic solvents. You can put them in an inkjet and just print out displays onto plastic! This too has been done for 6-7 years. I just don't know why they don't sell something made of this, even if the lifetimes are still short who cares if you can churn out rolls of the stuff for pennies.

Being from Rochester that makes my heart proud. I love my city and as Kodak goes, so goes Rochester.

Seen it once, seen it again...third time's a charm?

from the youtube post

This is a commercial that was produced for internal use. But it has become so popular, especially with employees, that Kodak has released it for external viewing. It demonstrates that Kodak not only understands it's changing business but also has a sense of humor.
