Comment on General Power Understanding by Conrad Chu

One way easy way to calculate amps is actually to just divide your watts by 100.

So, say you have 1600 watts of lights. Divide by 100.

1600W / 100V = 16 A

You’ll need 16 amps on the circuit to handle it.

Generally speaking, dividing by 110V would have yielded 14.5 amps. However, by dividing by 100, not only is it easier, but the resulting figure is what they call a “safety amp.” Meaning, you have a built-in buffer so that for any given circuit you don’t have to worry about running up the upper limit of the circuit. For example, if you have a 20A circuit, you NEVER want to run exactly 20A worth of lights on it. Depending on the age of the building, wires within the wall will heat up very quickly, and you’ll risk setting a fire within the walls.

So divide by 100 and you’ll be safe.

Other ways to adjust sounds on your laptop are to turn off sound effects. This is in System Preferences under Sound (“Sound Effects” tab). There are three checkboxes you can uncheck so that the popping sound and other sounds aren’t played:
- Play user interface sound effects
- Play feedback when volume is changed
- Play Front Row sound effects

I have a question: Is the software LAME because you are using a Mac?

On a Mac, you can open the image in Preview (the default image viewer) and do Command + I (Tools – Inspector) to get information about the jpeg. When the window pops up, go to "More info" which is the second tab and then click on EXIF data

Hi, for slide 31, the idea is to (on a windows machine) right-click your mouse on the file, choose 'Properties', 'Summaries' tab, 'Advanced' and you will see all the exposure info for your picture. You can see this on any photo viewer as well, but this is just a basic way to do it in Windows. Maybe a Mac user to post how to do it on a Mac? Thanks.
