Re: Question about lightroom after upgrading to 5

You should have your old LR3 catalog on your disk. Point some sort of image importing software at the previews folder there and you should be able to at least salvage the preview images of your old catalog. On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 05:54:09PM -0400, Eric Weir wrote: > > I've upgraded to LR 5

Fair warning: the new metz firmware breaks A and M modes on the flash for pentax cameras before the k-30! only upgrade to 4.0 if you have a k-30 or k-5 II!! On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 2:29 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > I use flash extensively and have had good luck with my two AF 540s. The > high-spe

Re: Flash purchase question(s)

I use flash extensively and have had good luck with my two AF 540s. The high-speed synch mode works very well when using for fill in daylight, and the lash compensation allows one to dial in a good balance between fill and main flash. Any flags requires some judgement and fiddling, as even the s

RE: PESO - Close Encounter

Those infamous five tones have been ringing in my head since I looked at your photo yesterday. Oddly, I had a dream last night that I floated up to a large mothership and when I woke up this morning I had an unusual oily discharge "down there". More than a coincidence? No matter, it's a really

Re: Lightroom

I feel your pain, Larry. I bought 4.x but didn't install it because I need to do some processing on a WinXP computer. Reports of 4.x being slower than 3.6 also did not encourage me for the upgrade. So, I am still stuck on 3.6. Somebody here, on PDML, mentioned that 5.x offers some performance imp
