G'day Christine

Quoting Christine Aguila <[email protected]>:

Hi Everyone:

How goes the team?

Finally, took care of some photography maintenance—upgraded to Lightroom 6 and updated my firmware on the K-3, finally. All went smoothly—though I had to call Adobe for a little download help with the laptop, and I have to say, Adobe’s customer service absolutely sucks. I was stunned.


You're not the first person to discover that, or so I've heard. Fortunately, I haven't needed to find out for myself...



Anyway, I had some frames to try the pano feature; the process is easy peasy, though my result wasn’t so good due to some sloppy shooting on my part. I didn’t get the overlap right in a few of the middle frames, which you can see below. This pano is a total of 6 frames—the file is humongous! It took 7 minutes to merge.



That's an impressive mural - worth another try.



I notice a difference in speed with the upgrade, which is saying something since I still only have four gigs of RAM, and I play iTunes in the background while working on photos—LR 6 is a bit quicker over LR 5 with the two apps running.

I really do need to increase my RAM, but I confess to being chicken—I’m afraid to unplug everything to install the RAM. Always worried I wouldn’t be able to get everything running right again. Any words of encouragement would appreciated :-).


Only 4 gigs!! Luxury! I'm running with 2, but I'm still on a 32 bit OS so I can't install LR6 on my system - just as well I don't need it. Photoshop CC still runs OK.



Cheers

Brian

Later in the week I’m going to experiment with the HDR feature. Should be fun.

You can see my very imperfect pano here :-).

Work should be easing up soon, so it’ll be time for some PDML fun—and I’ve got plans! :-)

Big cheers, Christine
