Great gallery again, no particular favourites (apart from my own, of
course!).

The standard in this group is just so high.

Re: Stupid Adobe Question

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I don't use LR on the iPad, but I do use various other tools there. The iPad 
Pro 11" (2018-2019 edition) I have is outfitted with 1T data storage and 6G RAM 
… It works well with the 50Mpixel raw image files out of the Hasselblad 
907x/CFVII 50c. A very fast and powerful little machine! Hasselblad's dedicated 
"Phocus Mobile 2" app is quite good, albeit with a bit of a learning curve. 
Leica CL, M-D, SL, etc files are handled nicely in various other editors on the 
iPad. 

I suspect that's the class of iPad Adobe has in mind as a "semi pro image 
processing environment" as opposed to any of the older, non-Pro models. 

It has been many years now since I had any need of Photoshop. When I need a 
pixel editor of a similar nature, I use Affinity Photo (which has versions on 
macOS, iOS, and iPadOS). It's both a lot cheaper and simpler than PS, and has 
no monthly tax attached. I'll move away from LR too when I find a substitute 
that does what it does and works well enough.

I've never found much need or value in the Cloud features of LR; they were 
around even in the LR 6 and prior time. If I want to show photos to the world, 
I use Flickr and Instagram, occasionally FaceBook. If I want to control the web 
display more specifically, I create a website of my own. It's not so automated, 
but gives me explicit control. 

Overall, that's my primary thrust: I want to be in control of my photo files so 
I don't use things that put them out of my control.

Re: Photoshop problems

Thanks, Henk. My feeling too but upgrading is so expensive in SA now. 
I'll see if I can find some bargain basement RAM. Hopefully 16G will be 
somewhat better.

I have both versions of LR but I’m using it exclusively on my iPhone and iPad 
at the moment as I ballsed up my Windows laptop and have completely erased 
Windows from it and replaced it with Linux Mint. I have an Apple SD card reader 
and import from that directly into LR on my iPhone, and sync everything to the 
cloud.

The laptop is over ten years old and although in good condition and top of the 
range in its day, it couldn’t cope with W10 and the various demands made on it 
for effective homeworking. I was cleaning it up to make space and appear to 
have deleted something important such that Windows went into an eternal ‘cannot 
recover’ BSOD loop. No data lost as it’s all in the cloud, and on a separate 
back-up disk.

If I ever get a Windows machine again I can reinstall LR Classic CC, but I 
wasn’t using it.

As for homeworking, I cycled into the office and brought my work laptop home.

Bob

You have all quite possibly seen some of  Bruce mentions as the how LR Classic 
“leverages the cloud.” If you have some/all of your photos synched to your 
portion of the cloud, then it is quick and easy to make a selection of 10-15 
shots, call it a gallery, and generate the URL for others to link to. E.g., 
here is one of mine:  https://adobe.ly/308IbSp

Bob in London is doing similar with his occasional galleries though, IIRC, he 
is using the newer LR CC rather than the LR Classic.

While I like this feature, it is great for on-the-road sharing to my travel 
blog, the cloudy bits can also be a PITA. In particular I do NOT want to willy 
nilly synch all of my images to the cloud when I am traveling, and certainly 
when I am at home. Synch can be turned off, but I find it difficult to 
selectively synch just those images that I want out there. But for a 
professional, on the job site, sharing batches of images with a client, it 
seems it could be very useful.

Re: Photoshop problems

Alan, the only solution in my opinion is to upgrade or replace hardware. 
For photo editing of RAW files 6G RAM is borderline and having an old 
system won't help as well.

BTW, it's working fine for me on a 5K iMac. Ps version 21.0.3.

Good luck!

Yes, I originally had that & still wonder why I upgraded! I have an 
older (free) version of DXO too - contains some useful presets.

I expect you spent longer than 10 minutes on the computer assembling the final

Absolutely no idea of what I am looking at. Not a clue. Looks like some sort of

But..interesting none the less.

Re: P-TTL flash.

flashes keep dying...


While doing my research I a flash that's flown completely under my radar.

The Godox TT 350p, also sold by Adorama under the Flashpoint brand.

It looks really good for the money, for about half of the cost of a AF201FG you 
get 75% greater output, (than a AT201FG), a claimed 1 - 2.2 second recycle time, 
full manual control, a built in radio controller for up to three groups of other 
Godox flashes, full Pentax P-TTL compatibility, and unlike the other third party 
flashes, at least according to the reviews I've read you don't sacrifice 
reliability, (I'm looking at your Yongnuo), or recycle times, (everybody else 
except Metz. and if you're buying Metz you might as well be buying Pentax as far 
as cost is concerned).


Has anyone else used one of these units, or will I be the first.

I know a number of pro (wedding, portrait & studio) photographers who have 
switched to Godox and are quite happy with them. But they're all CaNikon shooters.


http://www.godox.com/EN/Products_Mini_Camera_Flash_TT350P.html

According to the Godox web site it's compatible with 645Z, K-3II, K-1, KP, K-50, 
K-S2 & K70. I don't know if if it will work with the K-3 or the K-5, and I still 
use my K-3 ... hell, I still occasionally use the K10D & the K20D.
