I have seen the heal/clone tool is available in Lightroom 5, would this cure the issue? Or is elements with masking, layers etc more of a true fix?

Good evening all Thanks for the further responses. But it is going off point a little regarding the photo I posted, which of LR5 or PSE12 would be able to remove the sun flare spots? Steve

So would PSE or LR be best to remove these pesky hexagonal spots?

Hi David Thanks for the response. The picture is a shot at sunset, shot onto the sunset. They are kind of hexagonal shaped spots. Here is an example, the starburst effect I am happy with, its the darn spots. Steve

I have another quick question. I have some flare on some shots, Can I remove this with LR5? Steve

Hi all Thank you for all your comments. I have watched some of the videos from Serge Ramelli and they are very informative, intuitive and seems like it will benefit my landscape shots as have numerous shot that are half underexposed due to the light. It has also put me at ease a little. I...

Hi all I have thinking of purchase some image editing software and after purchasing a new up-to-date pc I am ready to take the plunge. But I am unsure what best for my needs and the benefits I will reap. After reading a lot about Elements 12 and Lightroom 5, I am still none the wiser what is...

Good evening all I have had my Nikon D5100 less than 6 months and it has broken down. I have sent it off to be repaired through an in house warranty as it is an import. The diagnosis is a replacement Aperture Control assembly/unit. How true to life is this? And is it worth the work...

I have just seen I have not giving the full product info for the Sigma. Its is the Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro EX DG OS HSM version. Is the IF for Nikon and OS and or HSM for sigma basically the same thing?

Thanks for your info Nod. Informative. I have narrowed it down to the Sigma 105 and Nikon 105mm now. So Have to try and decide which would be the best of the 2?

I forgot to mention what I would be shooting with a macro. Flowers, bugs such as ladybirds, Butterflies etc. Steve

Thanks for your reply. The Tamron 180mm is a bit steep in price, even used. quite sought after I imagine, hence the price retention used.

Hey thanks for your comments so far. Plenty more to ponder. anyone had experiences/owned the Sigma 105mm?
