Mean Old Frisco Blues

A week ago I was at a dance workshop called the Mean Old Frisco Blues, which happens to also be the name of a song. The music was excellent, they started out with one of my favorite bands for dancing, and each night the musice was even better than the last. First some PESOs Amethyst was a

I saw a rocket launch tonight

Orbital ATK was supposed to launch an Antares supply rocket this evening at 7:40pm EDT from Wallops Island, VA going up to the ISS. It was supposed to be visible here in North Carolina. There's a high bridge near my house that gives me a low horizon to the northeast, so I went up there to see if

PESO: The Moon in Perigee

Moon pics are too easily executed to count as good photos, but they’re also a lot of fun. A day late on this one, as the moon is now waning, but we were socked in yesterday. What’s more, I was watching football and was undoubtedly overserved. But we get another chance in November, when the moon

Looking at the data it's about a 2.4 stop push, so about ISO 4000, and it' s a tight crop. I shot some at f8 that are more like ISO 1000, but I like this one better. Paul via phone > On Oct 17, 2016, at 11:16 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > > > Good image. Not excessive, but

You're in a similar situation to me as I also have CS5. I've been holding off updating to Sierra but I did a search today and found that CS5 is not officially tested/supported on Sierra. It seems lots of people are having trouble with crashes and printing problems. Some people couldn't even

Dave's workflow dilemma reminded me I wanted to ask you folks if anyone had experienced or heard of any issues or app breakage caused by upgrading to Mac OS 10.12 Sierra? I use an older Lightroom, 4.4. Also older Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4). Thanks! -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Re: OT work flow

Dave, I understand your fear... ;-) This path your are using defeats the purpose of shooting RAW. in that case, as Cotty has suggested, - just shoot JPEGs. If you want to benefit from the RAW while using LR, you might consider using a DNG converter from Adobe. So, your work flow would be:

I will try that Igor but in recent attempts the newer DNG conversion program is not supported by 10.6.8, however i will try again. As far as shootoing jpg i have the filter set for a red filter B and RAW so i can have B*W and colour should i need it. I guess thats where i'm messing up some what

Due to my resistance to upgrade my OS i am having to resort to using Silky Pix to work on my RAF files from the X30. Its a pain system but for doing a few shots its ok. However this last week i was up north doing fall colours and some ATVing and have 120 to process. I started to save the RAF files

What is your resistance to upgrading your system to latest OS? Is it a hardware compatibility issue or ? Presuming you have compatible hardware, there's no real negative to upgrading macOS to the latest version. G > On Oct 17, 2016, at 7:44 AM, David J Brooks wrote: >

I can't speak to LR4.4, that's too old: I haven't run anything less than 5.x or 6.x for over a year, certainly never on anything older than macOS 10.11 El Capitan. I've been running Sierra through various alpha/beta iterations with PSCS5.1 and LR6.x for the past 9 months. The only problems
