    Upgrading to Win 11 Pro with LrC 12 - any caveats?

    Gnits, Can you tell me why you would not update to Windows 11 for free now? I know some enthusiasts and hard core IT guys had reservations initially because of some niche area bugs, but the computer articles and blogs I read claim it's all good to go now. I did it Day 1 and never had any...

    Why do some photos have very good colors and others do not?

    I have a lot in common with the OP. I've spent 50 years wondering why all of my photos aren't great. To this day and even with the best cameras in the world and lots of hard-earned knowledge, I still delete a lot of losers from my daily shooting. One thing that hasn't changed in all those...

    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    I read this and considered sparing you a response because it makes me want to write about 15 pages about what I think you should do. You are considering a new Mac, and I think that is a separate decision than an external storage decision. You are going to be upgrading your external storage no...

    PC hardware - off topic for "Replace one character in file names."

    Thanks for the detailed explanation of your file and folder naming and organization thought process. I too scanned tens of thousands of slides and negatives about 10 to 15 years ago, and that was a many years-long project that I now wish I had done differently. But I won't get into that...

    PC hardware - off topic for "Replace one character in file names."

    Replace one character in file names is an interesting thread. I like to hear about the workflow and file naming conventions of various enthusiasts and pros because we all do it differently. If you are willing to share, can you tell me (us) what your thought process behind that naming...

    What's the difference between the mask adjustment's Noise slider and the 6 sliders under Noise Reduction in the global adjustments panel?

    Dan, I believe you and we are all just experimenting here, but I don't think that is the case with those original global slider limits being stretched by the masking sliders. Maybe some of them behave differently (mask panel vs global panel) and maybe the algorithms that drive them could be...

    Masking unusable

    Can you give me some specs on the PC? That 1060 GPU is long in the tooth, but I think it should be able to handle new masking load, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe it can't with that 6 GB of memory. That masking puts a load on the GPU and CPU. I think Adobe took some risk adding these new...

    What's the difference between the mask adjustment's Noise slider and the 6 sliders under Noise Reduction in the global adjustments panel?

    Conrad, that makes a lot of sense and was great information. I'm glad you pointed out the parts Victoria's book that explains some of those obscure noise sliders that I never use. I will probably never use them and never have, but it is good to know. I do use the luminance slider in post...

    What's the difference between the mask adjustment's Noise slider and the 6 sliders under Noise Reduction in the global adjustments panel?

    Dan, you said it way better than me but what you said is exactly what I was trying to say. The bottom line for me is that all the edits are non-destructive anyway, so what matters is how you make it look with your edit. I like what you said in the noise sliders example because we don't know...

    Dell XPS 15 Computer Glitch

    Gnits, I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't know how Dell holds up service-wise in Europe. There are probably better choices over there. I live about 40 miles from Dell HQ in Austin, but I guess that means less and less these days as parts are sourced from all over the world and the Dell...

    Dell XPS 15 Computer Glitch

    I do all my road work and have for many years on XPS 15s. I have had several over the years. They are fantastic road LR machines and are at the top of most lists for thin and light productivity laptops for a reason. They are hugely popular with road work photographers and are superb laptops...

    What's the difference between the mask adjustment's Noise slider and the 6 sliders under Noise Reduction in the global adjustments panel?

    This is very interesting. Yes, the masking panel has some of the same sliders as the normal global editing areas. How do they affect each other as we edit inside and then outside the mask, or outside and then inside the mask? I asked this same kind of question one time on DPR and one of the...

    RAW Formats

    Dan, I don't shoot Sony and have not studied their documentation on these choices, but I guarantee you that if you post that on the DPR Sony Board you are going to get some really good responses by digital wizards and pros using the Sony alpha seven are five (which is what I always call those...

    Captioning multiple photos

    Resoman, You look like Robert Redford in the 70s.... Is that picture you now or back then? That shirt looks retro.... So you are in Elgin? I'm in San Antonio. Anyway, I, like you, am an incessant user of Titles and Captions because I am a travel photographer and if I shoot for a week in...

    Cropping: Any other way than the drop down?

    Very interesting and as a landscape shooter, I agree with you. I switched to the 100 MP GFX 100 and 100S (I have both as well as both 50MP versions) because the massive amount of data gives you a lot of cropping options and the 100 comes with 7 aspect ratio options (4:3 being native). On the...
