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...

@DemiLion : Actually that looks like a nice piece of kit, thanks for the suggestion. I may be persuaded to give it a try (y)

I find LrC's print module both baffling and frustrating. Until I found EPL I would move images over into Photoshop to do printing but that was sometimes a bit hit and miss - EPL gets it right every time (y)

My current Adobe subscription doesn't run out until March 2026 and I don't see me paying the increased price so I've started playing with Nikon's NX Studio for editing but combine it with LrC's Library module for DAM as I make quite extensive use of collections. The only potential issue with my...

As promised above, I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Loupdeck software and, after a factory reset, it appears to work. EDIT 12/12/25: Further testing of the latest software version - there are still a number of functions that don't work on the Loupedeck+. The LrC plug-in is...

The Met Office cloud cover web page will give you a (very) rough idea of cloud cover but it doesn't differentiate cloud heights. For that you need a ceilometer; something like this would do you: https://www.biral.com/product/cloud-ceilometer/#product-overview I used to sell these for Biral and...
