PPA means Personal Package Archive in the computing world. It has been apart of that world for 30+ years

[@HeatherMcKay]

Ah interesting! Did this show up in a search for that? I know PPA for photogs has been around much longer than computers. And I think there are accounting terms using that acronym too.

[@HeatherMcKay]

High fives and big thanks to Javan and Julius for using my referral link for their membership to PPA 🎉

[@alycemaywea4231]

Is this a good source for freelancer as well as professional photographers as well

[@HeatherMcKay]

Yes for sure. Especially if you are charging for your work in any capacity so you can learn industry standards and network with others. There is such a deep plethora of resources for all levels of photography and business. Most photographers start out small and undercharge in the beginning. It’s best to join a group like this to avoid those detrimental learning curves.

Do you know if they cover cinematic drones?

[@HeatherMcKay]

I believe they have a separate drone coverage. They have been staying on top of all the current regulations and trends for sure with drones.

[@technodrone7723]

Heather McKay thanks so much!

[@justinweeks6608]

Do they cover laptops?

[@HeatherMcKay]

I believe they do, though I haven't read the fine print in quite a while. A quick call to PPA or look up "Photo Care Insurance" for more details.

[@NickedOff]

Just thought I'd let you know the referral link takes me to "Page Not Found".

[@HeatherMcKay]

Thank you! Darn! I'll see if I can fix that.

[@HeatherMcKay]

You're right... they changed it! Here is the newest link: www.ppa.com/join/member-2-member

Audio is low. It's hard for me to hear it. The critique I ordered had no audio volume at all. This seems to be a continuing issue with PPA videos. I hope PPA can adjust this in the future.

[@HeatherMcKay]

Interesting. Good to know. I'm assuming you've checked the volume on your end too? Did you reach out to PPA and let them know? I personally found headphones help with KZbin videos.

[@romiemiller7876]

@@HeatherMcKay Most KZbin videos have plenty of volume, but not with all channels. A lot of PPA videos have low volume. My computer and KZbin volumes were at max, so there wasn't anything to turn up. I am a little hard of hearing (mid 70s), so that's a factor. But still, the volume was a lot lower than normal. What's frustrating is when I find a video I really want to watch, can't hear it, and no closed captioning!

[@HeatherMcKay]

@@romiemiller7876 oh yes, I know what you mean! Mine should be CC. I've learned a trick where instead of clicking the video, I watch it play automatically where it is and then it is captioned (and no ads!).
