Hi Paul, any updates on the Mac version of Remote Studio? I have to hang onto a Windows box just for that, and I can't wait to get rid of it.

My web designer and I are trying to figure out what kind of program you have on the millers home page for the slide show. Those images load so quickly and there are huge! Please share this info. I would love to have my home page look like that with no waiting for the page to load. Thanx

Thanks, Paul, for the update. Julie says Album Quick Order will be Mac compatible. That's great. I eagerly await more Mac solutions.

Sandie,

Sorry, I hit add before I was finished...anyway for a quick fix simply order the prints again, this time do not select the option to print without adjustments and we will color correct your files and send you new prints.

After you have delivered to your customer then we probably need to investigate why you are receiving prints that are not acceptable. And that process would start with the question "Are you calibrated to our printers?"

Sandie,

Did you originally order these prints with no color corrections?

Hi Jason,

I am fairly new to ordering. I have an issue with the color of the prints i ordered. I believe this is because I have a laptop (Mac) and the screen/color is not in sync with Millers. I know I need to handle that on my end, but what if I am in a hurry and would like MIllers to just correct the color on your end if I re-order them now?

It's easy to miss, but on the first screen of the quick order system it indicates: ".... This will generate an order number, when the summary page appears the order is complete."

So, after you hit transmit, when the page refreshes and you get the summary page, showing an order number and the details, you know we have your order.

Yes, it is confusing when you get to the end. It's not clear what the last page even means and it's frustrating to not know where it is in production. I have four orders that I've already received in the past few weeks and if you click on ORDER, the status on them still says "pending" on three of them and the fourth one doesn't even show up. It's just not near as user friendly and easy to understand yet.

were Not new to Miller's

However we are new to Miller's Press products

???? when we order thru Quick Order

how do we get a confirmation that the order is in work at the lab versus sitting in the shopping cart basket ???

Am I right that the shopping cart basket part is skipped with Quick Order ??

Paul,

I graduate Robinson High in South Tampa in 1974. I have no Newsome relatives in Florida other than my mother who now lives in Ft Myers.

I spoke to Arnie last week about the possibilities of my visiting both labs. I'm looking for a speaking gig in those neighborhoods to see if I can work it out. I'll give you a heads up if it materializes.

Nice work finding that article. It's likely that questions have been raised about access to digital images in the future but most of us live in the present and if digital is the thing, then there's a good chance the White House photographers are stretching their pixels too.

Kevin! Thank you for the comment. I grew up in Clearwater in the ‘70s and graduated from Clearwater High in 1980. I remember, as I am sure you do also, when Pinellas county (and Hillsborough) had woods. It is funny that you commented here. I thought that I remembered a Newsome in my high school class and when I saw your speaking schedule on some in-lab correspondence, I checked out your website to see if it was you. I am guessing not since you grew up in Tampa but maybe a relative? Anyway, if you get to our Columbia, Missouri plant, it would be great to meet you. And, if I am visiting “home” I will be sure to give you a heads-up and stop by the studio.

I did some digging on Google and found this article

newsmine.org/.../bush-whitehouse-controls-photographers.txt

about the White House Photographer. It doesn’t directly answer your question but in the paragraph about Camp David it talks about the photographer showing Mr. Bush an image on the back of his digital camera. There are some other finer points about image distribution that were interesting as well.

Take Care

Hi Paul,

The Zepplin title caught my eye and your memories of hitting the causeway to Clearwater sounded hauntingly familiar. We're probably real close to the same age bracket and growing up in Tampa offered me plenty of opportunities to hit CLW Beach in the 70's. You're right about "condo central".

As for archiving, I heard recently that the official photographers in the White House are still required to shoot film due to the uncertainty of archiving digital images. Can you confirm this?

Hi kmorgan!

Thanks for the comment. I wanted to post the whole PDF file but was concerned that too many customers and friends would show up since the card has a map to my house. I asked Jim if he had the cover art. If I can get that, I will post it for you.
