I won’t use Lightroom for similar reasons. I manually put my dng files in a labeled folder where it belongs and immediately back it up. I retrieve and organize files with Bridge. Idiot proof. Which I need. Paul > On Sep 7, 2022, at 6:02 PM, John Sessoms wrote: > > One reason I don't use

Re: More disappearing photos! Aaaargh!

One reason I don't use Lightroom is because my initial experience with it had it trying to hide the catalog from me. I couldn't find the files after I first loaded them (among other problems). Can the computer find the files? Not using Lightroom; just the computer itself? Can you do the

Some of the news stories I've seen were more explicit, that authorities believe his brother killed him ... and they think he wounded his brother in the fight. Hope they find the other one soon. On 9/6/2022 5:44 PM, Bill wrote: The local news hasn't released a location of where the deceased

Re: September PUG is up (yes, really!)

I had nothing suitable for the Sept. PUG except, perhaps, this one - taken in 2012 before I had acquired a Pentax digital body. I was using my old Pentax lenses with Big-Is EMF adapters on a Canon 1000D body. Worked very well, but all manual. This one is at full stretch with the FA100-300.

Installing some kind of S.M.A.R.T. HDD monitoring tool ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.) could help detect HDD's ready to fail. That said I had several failed HDD's and SMART didn't help. In fact my oldest running HDD's have a red flag according to SMART. Backup is the only solution. I
