I have also downloaded RapidRAW and tried it on a few NEF files. I've not yet decided if it's a keeper, or not, but I've got until March to make that decision. If RapidRAW becomes my editor of choice there won't be anything to stop me ditching MS and going Linux :giggle:

LRC and ACR have never really been at parity. Generally, ACR gets updated or has extra features added and field tested in Photoshop migrating to the various versions of Lightroom a short while later.

From a Fuji forum: "Adobe does not make or sell a lifetime license for Lightroom. Any deal or website claiming to sell a "lifetime license" or "perpetual 2026 edition" of Adobe Lightroom (such as third-party voucher or discount listings) is illegitimate. These offers are usually unauthorized...

I have a habit of overdoing editing so developed a routine years ago to do an initial edit and then walk away for a couple of days before going back to the editing screen. This normally results in me backing off adjustments that have previously increased exposure, clarity and shadows. You just...

I maintain a spreadsheet with all the details of my camera equipment with make, model, serial number, when purchased and price paid. If something is no longer available for purchase new I list the closest equivalent and the cost of that too. This is supplied to my home contents insurance...

Okay, not wishing to offend but have you got bracketing turned on (Photo Shooting Menu)? That might be one reason but I would expect you to also be complaining about changes in exposure between the three shots. Alternatively, in the Custom Setting Menu take a look at d2 "Max. continuous release"...

1. Set the shooting mode dial to CL or CH 2. In the menu, select the Custom Setting Menu (Pencil/crayon symbol) 3. Select d Shooting/display 4. d1 CL mode shooting speed set to 6fps 5. Exit the menu system 6. Make sure you have a fast enough shutter speed set (i.e. faster than 1/6 second) Have fun

I've always had a soft spot for the colours that the D200 produces. Nice photos :giggle:

Certainly since they morphed the separate applications into one and then added an extra dose of AI the default settings have given over cooked results but it is fairly simple to turn it down to get what you want. I still prefer Topaz over Adobe's denoise and supersize because you get a full...

It's actually quite a boring circuit both for drivers and people like me that just want to take photographs. The track basically follows the perimeter of what was a wartime airfield with a small chicane and bus top thrown in for good measure.

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
