    Do graphics cards really help Lightroom or just increase the energy bill?

    How bizarre - my research has led me to what i feel is a good entry level option and it's the GEFORCE GTX 1050 Ti

    Do graphics cards really help Lightroom or just increase the energy bill?

    Thank You - think i'll take a punt on a 4GB card and see how it goes. At worst it'll help warm the house :D

    Do graphics cards really help Lightroom or just increase the energy bill?

I'm using the latest version of LR classic with an i7 processor,32GB ram and SSD drive for LR installation and where RWA files are housed but only the onbord Intel...

    Photoshop help - clone stamp tool between 2 images ?

    By getting the 'clone source' panel on screen it seemed to allow me to do what i was hoping to.

    Photoshop help - clone stamp tool between 2 images ?

    Hi, I'm trying to fix an overexposed image where my flash was set was too high by accident, i've recovered most of it but the nose highlights are blown and i'd like to try and recover it by clone stamping from another images where exposure is better. Can this be done in photoshop ? I've got the...

    Neewer Z1

    Has anyone tried a Neewer Z1. I've been using a SB-800 for years at events but it's starting to let me down with inconsistent light and recycle times so decided to replace. The Z1 looks pretty good and obviously far more up to date. The powerful battery is a bonus as well. I've taken a punt on...

    D750 to Z5 or Z6ii ?

    Think i'm going to wait until Black Friday and see what the Z5 and Z6ii are priced at.

I'm...

    D750 to Z5 or Z6ii ?

    Hi, I'm finally starting the move to the Z system and can't decide whether the Z5 gives me enough for now. I shoot mostly events and interiors and don't need high end video or high FPS. I also understand the recent firmware upgrades have improved the AF on the Z5. Is there any other reason...
