Crop at the begining or the end ?
I crop first so I can focus on the image I want without distraction. Post-processing on the cropped image can also be slightly different to the techniques you would use on the entire image, so cropping as a first step makes it easier to decide on the approach that best suits the final image. As in...

Storing my spare K-r
If you never use it, maybe eBay could be a better bet? Storing electronic cameras for long periods of time doesn't do them much good. I'm just wondering if you might just end up with a non-functional body that's worth nothing, rather than selling now and buying again when needed. However, if you ...

Dear Moderators, please can I request a 'sarcasm' smilie as the intent of my last posting seems to have been misinterpreted. Thank you [Note to self: insert numerous random smilies in all future posts to ensure that other forum members realise that I have a sense of humour] :D:evil::)...

Being in the right place at the right time with talent
I've had a look through the images and I'm not too impressed. I don't find much originality in the images as they seem largely repeats of well known places and images - still it would be nice to have the means to go round and photograph them all and if I could make a living like that I'd be happy. ...

I didn't want to add anything further to this thread but, as the OP, I felt driven to disassociate myself from the tone, content and manner of some of the posts. I am happy to be party to a healthy discussion on the merits or not of someones images. I am willing to offer a critique based upon my...

There are several photographers on this very forum who, given the opportunity to travel to these locations, could do a much better job. Blythman ( despite his annoying watermarks :) ) and David Storm ( despite his annoying equipment purchase justifications :) ) are two notable examples WOW, is this ...

Being in the right place at the right time with talent
So my question is, are these images something to aspire to, or shy away from? I was going to answer this with a clear 'avoid' but as balance giving an example of one of the images I liked earlier on. But when I look again I can't find a single one I actually like. I guess those I classed as 'sor...

Moving photos from Picture motion browser
You should keep a back up of your images anyway so find where the program stores them and copy them to another drive. That way it doesn't matter if the software does delete stuff. That said I very much doubt it would delete your images and certainly not without warning you first.

Fantastic Service
I recently had a hard disk crash which resulted in me losing all my software, all my e-mails/contacts and quite a few data files, but fortunately my images are stored on another drive. For most of the software I had the original media, so re-installing was not a problem. However, I got my copy o...

grubby gear
I've used olive oil on sun bleached motor car rubber trim before and it works wonders. Doesn't last long outside in sunlight mind but used sparingly it will bring old dried out rubber back to life.

I'm 99% certain that the .lrcat file holds all of the adjustments and keywords for the images that catalogue refers to. I work with only one catalogue and I regularly back it up. You can also set Lightroom to check and backup the catalogue every time you close the software.

Back up the catalogue regularly but also create a new catalogue for each project. You can then duplicate the catalogue and merge it with a master catalogue giving you an extra layer of backup capability.

These are the contents of a folder "Lightroom" within "My Pictures" Do I need to back up "Backups" and "Corrupt Catalogs" and any others or just the "Lightroom 5 Catalog" You have some files with no suffix. I guess they are *.lrcat set to hidden in explorer. *.lrcat files are the main...

Lightroom 5 Backup
Can I suggest you move your "Lightroom" folder within "My Pictures" to somewhere else because if Windows goes bust you will most likely never see them again :( I have my "Lightroom" folder structures on my "D" drive which is a physical drive separate from the "C" drive and also back it up to an e...

Thanks Smeggy, you are a wealth of information. Can I pries a little more:oops: Last night it took an hour to back up "Backup" and now I have LR set to save the Catalog on exit it's just going to grow. Can I clean up "Backup" so that just the later versions are retained? Brian, I like your idea ...
