I believe some time ago I asked Gary if he had tried C1Pro and if memory serves he had not. C1Pro has a superior raw processing engine especially for Sony and allows organization by sessions, great for studio work, and in Libraries (catalogs in LR). Also C1 Is a standalone product so they're not forcing you to subscribe and holding back updates if your subscription lapses. Downside is I don't think they've developed a mobile platform yet but I don't need to edit my images on a phone or tablet. I'd like to know if anyone else is using the pro or free version and what you might think. Oh, one other drawback is I've yet to find a way to bulk rename images using yymmdd_##### format.GEGJrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521332233522505394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-44963225452556884782017-07-20T13:27:35.577-07:002017-07-20T13:27:35.577-07:00I switched from LR to Capture One Pro when I switc...I switched from LR to Capture One Pro when I switched from Canon to Sony.

I especially enjoy your contributions. Now, I have a couple questions/comments. First lesson 1, does the file have to be saved (exported) after the first adjustment and after each subsequent adjustment in adobe raw to allow for the cumulative effects of moving the slider to left? Lesson 3, I have noticed the same effect when shooting indoors with ambient daylight that is not direct sun but sort of like would be on an overcast day outdoors. I çan use live view to adjust the indoor scene to appear exactly as I see it typically adding 1 stop extra light to get what my eyes see. Sorry I don't have examples to share but I'm sure you've noticed the same.GEGJrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521332233522505394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-3236734509145621082017-07-18T20:54:02.257-07:002017-07-18T20:54:02.257-07:00Going in 2 months

I used your book on the RX-100 III to learn how to use the camera. Its great, and taught me how to get much better pictures. My default for bad light is to shoot 5 frames bracketing exposures in 0.3 stops; often one pops out as much better than the rest. What I have not figured out is how to remove vignettes when rain drops get on the lens cover!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01498268885073129103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-36473231280537540002017-07-17T15:40:55.376-07:002017-07-17T15:40:55.376-07:00My first thought is "is the af/mf switch IV t...My first thought is "is the af/mf switch IV the side of the lens set to 'mf'?

Regarding the limitations on the Lightroom Highlights slider, I stay in Lr and just pull down a gradient and move the highlights slider to the left as far as needed. If the effect is still insufficient duplicate the gradient and fine tune.<br />Cheers!

LR allows you to overlay a mask as many times as you like, so in effect you can do what you are suggesting in PS and repeat the slider effect. I think this is actually preferable as you dont want to be doing it on the whole shot anyway. Targeting just the sky with the radial or local correction filter works well. <br />Also, have you tried using dehaze on the sky? That works amazingly well, and also seems to bring back some colour.
