Thank you! (Disclaimer: Blog author, CEO & Chief Geek here). I clearly believe, deeply, that focusing on photographers who care about photography is the right path forward, and I'm excited to see others feel that way, too. Please feel free to ask any questions I might be able to answer, and thanks again.

I just want to express my gratitude for finally, fully embracing wider gamuts. I've been eagerly awaiting this day (and have a group all set up to show them off - https://www.flickr.com/groups/2234658@N22/).

Questions:

1. To the extent reprocessing is necessary, will that be done automatically (e.g. as it is for photos originally uploaded at full resolution, and now being displayed at 5K)?

2. Do all mobile OSs provide the color profile management necessary for the app to properly display photos? I know this was a challenge in the past.

3. Will there be any indication a photo is outside of sRGB, aside from EXIF?

P.S. - I'm sure you're aware, but there's a (closed) group of alpha/beta users (https://www.flickr.com/groups/flickrbeta/) always eager to help provide feedback.

1. Should be automatic. Still testing, but looking fantastic so far.

2. The coverage across modern OSes, browsers, and devices is incredibly high, and increasing daily, or we wouldn't be finally pulling the trigger. (I've wanted to do this for 16 years!)

3. Hmm, hadn't thought about this. What did you have in mind?

That's all great to here. I was thinking that the color space could be listed within the little section below the photo summarizing the EXIF data (with little pictorials for aperture, lens, shutter speed, flash, etc.). That would make it a lot easier to know if you're seeing a photo as intended.

Do you feel that three months is adequate warning to actively delete people's data? If they've entrusted their photos solely to you, they may not have any way to recover data that is incredibly unique... you can't just recreate a photo.

I definitely think it's enough time to cut off new upload for people over the limit, but you should strongly consider whether or not your storage costs are that high as to make it worth it to not give a longer runway for people to export.

Is there any discussion about making it easy to sell prints? I'm an amateur photographer and have had several people inquire about prints, but I never know what to say because I have no idea how to make prints, nor do I have a lot of time. I know Yahoo had a WallArt program, but it seems to have failed, which is strange since it seems like most pro photographers sell prints.

Great feedback, thanks. This is a great secondary line of business for SmugMug already, so this is great to hear and we'll think about it. Thanks again.
