In other words, I think we here are unnecessarily "cruel" to Gary and his audience in respect of their choice to shoot jpeg/sRGB.
I'm surprised you'd write that considering I was under the assumption you've read what many of us have written.
I'm surprised you continue to appear to come to Gary's defence too.
Let me stress this again in as easy to decipher and simplistic English as I can:
I have no issue at all with Gary's choice or recommendation to shoot JPEG/sRGB.
I have an issue with the incorrect language and terminology he used to voice that message. Get it?
He told his audience items that are
factually untrue. Many of his statements were flat out wrong. Will just did the same with language that YOU YOURSELF called out (Distance between pixels). That's simply incorrect.
As I wrote this morning on the new video comments area, IF someone produced a video on photography and stated that a 180mm lens has a longer focal lenght than a 200mm lens while recommending telephoto lens, that person would and
should be called out by peer review concerning that mistake. What Gary and Will have stated about color management are equally egregious and wrong!
How can you side with this kind of misinformation, let alone say those who try to correct them are cruel is beyond understanding. I and others gave Gary ample time to understand this, he got progressively sillier in his writings back. Yes, some comments got edgy but the facts are, and the paper trail will illustrate that Gary was treated
initially with the resepct he's proven at this point he doesn't deserve.
If anyone is being cruel, it is Gary to his audience!
