Garlic!? Bread!? …

No worries, happy to help. The main reason I do it the way I’ve outlined is that it leaves the original archive files untouched during the file handling process. In the past I’ve had issues moving big folders when the process has stalled part way through. Can be a bit of a nightmare IMHO.

What I normally do is: Using Windows Explorer or Finder -copy the archive folder to the new destination drive -rename the original archive drive eg 2023a -fire up Lightroom, which will show a greyed out 2023 folder -right-click on that folder and when prompted to find missing files, click on...

I had a Herman Miller Aeron in the office when I was working. Should have brought it home when I retired, brilliant chair. I'd have another if I was sat in the office 8-hours plus a day. I currently have a cheap from Argos in the home office/study, though they no longer sell it. It's OK to be...

I took a photo of some people (adults) walking down the street wearing national costume in Oslo on Constitution Day, a public holiday. There were many others wearing national dress that day, as is the tradition. Anyway, they were outraged that I had taken a photo of them, demanded to see what I...

I haven’t been there for quite some time (just looked it was 2006 !) My wife and I went into the old town and for a few Euro joined a walking tour of the old city, included a nice lunch break and finished over the river at the castle. Suggest you ask at reception in your hotel. We stayed in...

It’s also perhaps worth mentioning that Mojave (10.14) was the last MacOS to support 32-bit applications. Catalina does not run 32-bit applications. So worth checking if anything you want to run is 32-bit. Photoshop has (I think) been 64-bit for some time, but the old installers and some other...

I hope you can get your 2013 to boot from the 2012 HDD and successfully de-activate CS6. Sounds like a promising option. Just thought I’d mention that I think the current Adobe Photography Plan will require MacOS 12 Monterey or later. MacOS 12 requires a machine from Late 2015 or later. So...

One from today in Oxford

We recently went to FTTP which meant a change of ISP. We just went with the passwords that came with the router, they seem like randomly generated and as secure as anything else.

My eldest granddaughter has occasionally uses my wife's old 450D and does quite well with it. She took this when we were out yesterday.

The wettest winter I can remember, and I've seen 8 decades so far. If we've had 20-days without rain since October I'd be amazed. I'm expecting that food prices will rise as farmers have been kept off the fields for months and anything already planted will be struggling. So UK produce will be...

Very sad news…:( RIP Chris, condolences to family and friends both real and virtual.

Saddened by the new of Cobra’s passing. RIP Chris, my condolences to your family and friends both real and virtual. :(

The main criticisms I have for the original EOS-M are: slow focusing and poor battery life. I ought to use it more to be honest.
