    Martin Evening 2022 obit

    Losing Martin was indeed a great loss. I was, and am, a big fan of his teaching via books or articles. Just now, going down the Martin Evening rabbit hole on Google, where I went from this website to another to another...I ended up on this video. It was recorded in May of 2021 for the Art of...

    LR Classic not recognizing Whitewall ICC profile

    Could you tell us which icc profile it is? Maybe we could download it and see if it works for us. Without knowing anything at all about the profile, it is hard to diagnose the problem.

    My Recent GPU Experience (Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti 12GB)

    I agree with Bob that you should have faster times. I have a slower processor than you and a slower gpu and my actual time is faster than your results. But, I personally would not spend the money to double my RAM just to gain a few seconds because in reality I am not going to use DeNoise a lot...

    My Recent GPU Experience (Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti 12GB)

    I have replaced my GPU. Previously, I had an Nvidia GTX 1070, now I have an RTX 2060 Super. Big difference! An RTX series GPU is a huge improvement over a GTX series. Here is the current information: Windows 11 Intel i5-9600 32gb RAM Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Estimated time= 30...

    I forgot about that one.

    What does a red dot under the edit icons mean?

    If you have the latest version of the ebook, it is in the changes section for April 2023, 5th page from the end. It took me a minute to find it as well. But, the Queen did include it....

    What does a red dot under the edit icons mean?

    Those are the active edit indicators. A grey dot does mean that the image has been edited. A red dot means that an update is needed to the edited area. For example, under the Healing brush a red dot means that a Content Aware Remove spots needs to be updated. A red dot nder Masking means...

    Photos imported with a preset already applied

    My guess would be that you inadvertently have instructed Lightroom to apply a develop preset upon import. This is in the import panel under "Apply During Import" To reset these images, you can simply select all of the affected files while in the Develop Module, then right click on one of...

    Lightroom upscale for printing vs. plug-in?

    I think this is something that you will have to decide for yourself. Personally, I have not seen an advantage in using a 3rd party plug-in on prints up to 24 inches wide. Jeff Schewe, in his fantastic book The Digital Print, shared his results from testing of Lightrooms upscaling. But, keep...

    lightroom presets amount slider is greyed out

    Thanks for the tip. While I am on a Windows 11 pc and BBEdit is Mac only, Notepad++ does the same thing and worked wonderfully in finding and replacing those lines in the code to reflect a "True" statement.

    lightroom presets amount slider is greyed out

    From what I understand, the preset has to have been created with the support amount slider checked. I suspect that if a preset was created before this option existed then it would not have an active amount slider. Updating the preset with the current settings, but with the support amount...

    print colours matt paper

    If I were using Soft Proofing in any application, I would first make sure that I had the correct profile for the paper I was using. Do you have the correct profile for each paper that you are using? You would need a profile created specifically for the bluebells paper that you are using as well...

    LR 5.6 is awful

    I have downloaded and installed 5.6 and do not notice any reduction in speed at all. It seems just as responsive as 5.5 was. I am not as proficient with computer related problems as others here, but I am sure that others will be able to help you track down the problem and get you back up to...

    Bad Adobe - Sneeking in user data gathering with latest CC update

    Of course you do not have to accept that any software company is only collecting information about the software simply because they say so. You can ask questions if you have reason to believe that the software has access to sensitive information or information that you wish to keep private...

    Getting RAW files sharp

    Great advice given so far. If you want to really understand, and take control of, raw image sharpening, I recommend reading either The Digital Negative by Jeff Schewe, or Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. I have both of...

    Bad Adobe - Sneeking in user data gathering with latest CC update

    First of all, no insult was intended at all in my question. I apologize if it insulted you or anyone else. I said I was curious as to the reasons one would NOT want Adobe monitoring Lightroom use. You gave a few that are acceptable/reasonable to me. Before moving to Germany in January 2010...

    Bad Adobe - Sneeking in user data gathering with latest CC update

    I did not say that I agreed with Adobe's action. I do not agree with it, it is disrespectful at the least to begin to collect data on a person without notification. I am curious as to why someone would not want to share photography software usage information to a company that produced the...

    Bad Adobe - Sneeking in user data gathering with latest CC update

    Why would a person NOT want to share usage information from Adobe CC with Adobe? What type of usage of CC could a person want to keep secret? What electronic information is truly safe, secure, and/or secret these days? I think this type of thing (data sharing) is a reality of the information...

    Anyone using DXO in combo with LR? New DXO version out.

    Yes, it only recognizes original raw files. LR made DNGs are not considered to be an original raw file. If you have a camera that produces a dng file, DXO will open it.

    Anyone using DXO in combo with LR? New DXO version out.

    This is true for High ISO noise reduction. But, Long Exposure Noise Reduction does affect the raw file.

    Bad lab prints.

    I suggest that you try another Lab. If this Lab is requiring sRGB, then there is a good chance that they are not following proper color management protocol. And, if this is true, there are probably other inconsistencies in their workflow. Most good pro labs are going to make custom icc...

    LR and DXO OPTICS Pro - added value?

    Substantial? That depends on your definition of substantial. Some people love DXO 9 and others not so much. I have DXO 9 Pro and Lightroom 5.4. DXO has some nice film emulations and a really good high iso noise reduction in the PRIME noise reduction. The lens corrections are also good. I...

    Imported 7D Videos Suffer from Random Pixellated Distortion--Help!

    I always recommend that people buy a high quality card reader. A Lexar Professional card reader can be had for less than 30€. Buying a cheap card reader is simply asking for trouble in my opinion. Buy a name brand, high quality one and you may never have to buy another.
