I'm using a W11 PC originally built in 2017. It has an Intel Core i5-8400 CPU, 32GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU with 12GB GDDR6 memory. Storage is spread over four separate internal drives - 500GB Kingston NVME2 for operating system and applications, 250GB Samsung 850EVO SSD as working...

There is always the Photoshop Elements? The 2026 version is available for around £50-60 for a 3 year license.

A few from a wet Llandow circuit on Tuesday. The event was a charity track day and all photos taken with a D780 and 28-300mm lens. First up is a BMW E36 M3 and yes, the sky really was that colour and I was getting rather wet at the time :( Next a close up of the front near side of a John...

One from last week. This Blackbird perched on that branch several times each day, with a beak full of food for its chicks, making plenty of noise. The nest was only a few metres away but I'm damned if I could find it. D780 with Nikkor 28-300 lens. It looks much sharper in Lightroom, sorry.

It's that time of year when parents are preparing their young for the big, wide world. Nikon D780 & Sigma 100-400C

I use Fastone for culling. I'm a LrC user but don't want the faff of importing maybe 1000+ images into the catalog only to then reject 90% of them as blurred/out of focus/same as others. Once I've downloaded a day's images into my computer I use Fastone to cull (having the program put rejected...

Whether you could have improved the shot, or not, the end result is beautiful. Well done Sir :) (y)

How an artist suffers for his art. All the wait and cold was well worth it for that image (y) :)

Yes, as long as you don't do any updates it will continue to work as is.

It's horses for courses, I think. Personally I find the LR Print module completely counter intuitive and until I found the Epson Print Layout application I used to take images over to Photoshop for printing. As EPL can be used as a plugin for LR it's no hardship to use it.

I can't say I have had this issue. If you open a second image do you see left & right arrows plus something like 2 / 2 in the bottom right corner of the image viewing panel? If so, try clicking on the right arrow to see if your second image appears. That's how mine works (y)

People keep telling me that LR's denoise has improved but I just can't get the results that Topaz Photo AI gives me :eek:

Ah, thank you for that. I've bookmarked the web page for future use (y)

Something of an understatement, in my view :D

Topaz are moving to the ubiquitous subscription model - surprise, surprise :eek: As I understand it, if you are currently a user of Topaz Photo AI you will notice a change of name - they've dropped the AI bit - to go along with the change of model. As long as you don't upgrade to the new...
