Title: Lightroom huh
Post by: boneaddict on November 04, 2018, 06:46:18 AM: I decided to upgrade the photoshop thing to the online version. Photoshop CS5 wouldn’t download my camera so I always had to run them through a digital negative converter and I’m sure that was degrading my images. I’m sitting here with 160 GB of big buck pics, and I’ve got some BIG bucks....and waiting for the download.

(photoshop though), I didnt need the fancy stuff. but it wouldnt download raw for my camera any longer, too new of a body, so I was doing the Digital negative converter. Now I see just how much my images were being affected by it. I guess ultimately it costs about the same. Still dont plan to use the cloud

I have been eyeballing some of the Mirror-less options, but it is hard to pull the trigger!

Post by: boneaddict on November 07, 2018, 05:57:45 AM: The only thing that really changed was more money coming out of my pocket, and the ability to get photos without using the digital converter. This winter I’ll experiment with Lightroom.

You won't be disappointed if you do switch.

Only bad thing about this is it's not my shop :chuckle:

Click on photo and it should enlarge. Hopefully :)
