Let me back up a sec­ond to explain what I’m talk­ing about. If you have a DSLR, it can prob­a­bly be set to save your pho­tos as RAW files, as JPEGs, or as both. RAW files have dif­fer­ent file exten­sions (for exam­ple, NEF for Nikon and CR2 or CRW for Canon)—what they have in com­mon is that these files store all the infor­ma­tion from the time of exposure.

Essen­tially, a RAW file is a poten­tial­ity rather than a final ren­di­tion. Ansel Adams said of his work that a neg­a­tive was a score, and the print the per­for­mance. In much the same way, a RAW file is the score, and what you do with it in the dig­i­tal dark­room is the performance.”

If you cur­rently receive Time Inc. or Forbes peri­od­i­cal con­tent elec­tron­i­cally from Gale or any provider other than EBSCO, you and your patrons will lose access to that con­tent over the next year. While there will remain alter­na­tive, high-​​quality titles in all infor­ma­tion providers’ prod­ucts, there will be an impact on users, espe­cially those who access con­tent through long-​​term statewide subscriptions.”

We face many chal­lenges today, none more urgent than the eco­nomic cri­sis, but with it comes an oppor­tu­nity to seek new ways of gov­ern­ing. In San Fran­cisco, like other cities, we are using this oppor­tu­nity to engage our great­est resource, the pub­lic, to build a gov­ern­ment that works bet­ter for all of us.”
