Meta 1

This is the first post in the series Meta.

Changes

• Page title headers (like the big bold text above that reads “Meta 1”) are now links that point to the canonical URL of the page, sometimes called “permalinks”. This is useful if you want to link to a specific page but it’s currently the front page of the site.

Notes

• I’m thinking of targeting a rougly weekly update schedule, with something like two photos and one set of microposts. Essays and other substantial posts might be every one or two weeks.
  • I’d also like to shift the update to sometime midweek, just so I never feel like I need to spend weekend time to wrap up a post.
  • That said, I don’t have a substantial post update this week. The thing I’m working on turned out to be bigger and more interesting than I thought.

A Lightroom Bug

Has anyone run into a bug where Lightroom Classic CC exports a file with the wrong size?

I’ve got an export preset that specifies a maximum width of 2400px and no height constraint, but the image it exports has a width of 2399px.

If I change the preset size to 2399px, the exported image is also 2399px. In fact, the file is exactly the same except for the XMP marker, where the values of DocumentID, InstanceID, and MetadataDate reasonably differ.

If I change the preset to 2401px, the exported image is 2401px wide. Sure, fine, whatever.

This also only seems to happen with some photos, such as the one taken at the Santa Monica State Beach.

Observed with Lightroom 7.4, running on macOS 10.13.5 (17F77).
