If you wanna take pictures, of course.

I'm fortunate. I still have life-time versions of Lightroom (v4.4), Photoshop Elements 8.0 and Premiere Elements 12, plus the suite of NIK software that Google gave away free when they first acquired them. I stay away from subscriptions of any kind. All these companies trying to siphon money out of your wallet on a regular basis! My software serves me well, but if someone can recommend something to deal with vignetting, I'd appreciate it. I'm not satisfied with how Lightroom handles it.

If I was taking my time with things, I would be interested in getting one of these - as I usually shoot in the moment, I shan't - though I wonder if the 2nd version is faster to acquire focus?

Technology has made amazing steps forward but this is still my favorite camera in most ( not all but most ) applications

I changed two cards and updated the firmware, both showed:“update file canont be found please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again”

How did people in the past take photos of themselves alone? This is unimaginable to me

It turns out that the red dot does not appear on the focus point when focusing. I thought it was just my camera that was broken. It turns out it is a common problem.

Nice video, glad that church steeple came out level in the end. Very good information. Don't worry about the mirror, if it goes, it probably will go suddenly, mine did. I superglued it back on using 4 tiny dots one in each corner, applied pressured for 30 seconds or whatever the glue instructions said to do, it has been fine for years now. The only odd thing I ran into was that I needed to upgrade the firmware to whatever the last version was in order to deal with larger CF cards. Had the very original old firmware and it shot fine onto a larger card but had a problem during review on the camera, new firmware took care of that just fine. Best wishes! Good work!

Images are labelled 5d Mark II, shouldn't it say Mark I or 5D classic? Or did you revert to the Mark II while shooting?

If it works. Go for it. A hundred year old camera is still worth it.

My worst performing video. 53 views at 3rd July 2024. Changed the thumbnail. What do you think. Too click baity?

5d color style, exposure compensation, how to set the contrast and saturation?

Selber schuld! Die Community hätte direkt nach Einführung dieser Lizenzmodelle Adobe den Rücken kehren sollen. Diese Entwicklung war vorhersehbar. Zumindest für Leute, die über ihren Tellerrand schauen können…

Have you looked in Affinity Photo? Great alternative, and a lot less money.

They gouged our small company for years and them WOULD NOT LET US CANCEL our Contact. adobe Make it impossible to call customer care, when you can connect with them they cut you off. Shower of wanker$

Wow good old Aperture sad that Apple left it to sail away nice info do

J'aime particulièrement l'infrarouge en noir et blanc. Si en argentique, il-y- ale film,le filtre rouge foncé et tout ce qui va avec, y compris la chimie pour la chambre noire. Pour le numérique, comment faire pour que l'appareil fasse des photos en infrarouge, sans qu'il reste dans cette lumière là définitivement, et se servir de l'appareil normalement. Pour les images en infrarouge,cette fois, la marche à suivre, marche après marche pour arriver à la photo définitive, et si on peut faire avec photo filtre, sans passer par photo s h o p ,Qui est professionnel et très cher. ( ordinateur). Pour l'appareil photo et l'objectif s'est N I K O N, et si on peut le faire en dehors avec des appareils plus compacts, hybrides etc. Si vous acceptez de me répondre, sans traduction simultanée en Français, translate in French p l e a s e .

If more people are leaving Adobe in droves (which they are), Adobe has then got no other choice BUT to go back to perpetual licenses and offering them as an option, rather than hamstringing consumers in a subscription model that sounds more and more intrusive every day, and also with NO CLEAR way to cancel your subscription without being slugged with the remainder of their subscription fee. As well as all these alternatives that have been suggested, try On1 Photo Raw and Affinity Photo. Yes Affinity have now been acquired by Canva and that could change in the future, but they STILL offer perpetual licenses, and that program is for the most part IDENTICAL to Photoshop (with some differences of course)

DXO photolab has a perpetual licence, and is very good

What about Affinity photo, as a Photoshop replacement..

Bring back Perpetual licenses.

One problem with the CC TOS involves uploading licensed images from third parties. When I license, say, one of your photos to put in a leaflet, I don't own it. Adobe does not differentiate between what's mine and what I licensed. Their "license of your content" clause in the TOS is much more problematic then first meets the eye: I cannot license the third party content to Adobe for whatever purpose, as I'm not a licensor but a licensee myself.

Very beautiful how the lovely atmosphere is captured. Thank you for sharing❤

An inspiring place. Thank you for more nice photos😊

Very nice images, Andrew. You nailed it. Do you have a gallery of your IR work? Will you do a video about the post-process? Best regards from Canada 😊

So do whatever you want. Nobody cares. I guess you will also work for no salary because someone is doing your job for free.

US sues Adobe for ‘deceiving’ subscriptions that are too hard to cancel / The Justice Department alleges that Adobe hid early cancellation fees and trapped consumers in pricey subscriptions.

not happy with licence , just get a pirated version , cops will come knoking on your door , addobe will remotely block your software , adobe will sue you , probably not , is not like you are taking from the pour , thows company make more in one day that what you will make in lifetime ,

The moment they went full on subscription instead of one time price I just cracked the F outta it. works like a charm since.

You get what you pay for. Photoshop does more than any free or one time fee software out there. Simple.

Canva have half decent AI, so expect they will add generative fill (and a subscription plan) to Affinity real soon.

Free software is always the best software.

Affinity Rules !

You have an interesting perspective. I am happy with the value that I get from Adobe for $120 USD on the photography plan I have gotten very useful reliable tools in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop which is were I spend 99% of my time working with digital photos. I don't currently have concerns about Adobe. I think if you don't value your own time you don't have a good lens for making decisions. It helps to have a figure of what you think your time is worth to understand the cost of jiggery pokery that you have to work around limitations. DaVinci Resolve is an amazing free tool for those who don't need the Studio edition. There are some great bargains to be had on early Apple Silicon macs now. Those bargains will only get better when Apple brings out M4 machines. As long as you having fun it is all good.

wat are your system specs??

I tried Darktable and I agree, definitely clunky! Another free option is Rawtherapee which works well, the biggest limitation I find there is the lack of masking. That's what then lead me to ART (which is a Rawtherapee fork), it has more masking capabilities although in comparison to what I've seen of Lightroom on youtube it is a little lacking still. But it does the job and is relatively intuitive and is free!

Darktable is gruesome, that only a complete masochist would use (no way to get a predicatble result, except if you use the depreacted display centric workflow). Luminar is a complete ripoff (Luminar AI already is on it's last leg and will not run very much longer, the next operating system update can end this abruptly with no recourse (and the successor now is basically subscription only).

Feel the same way. Affinity photo is a great alternative to photoshop, it doesn't have the ai tools at the moment

Affinity photo is well worth a try Andrew, it's a one off payment and is on offer at the moment. I have found it to be as good as, if not better than Photoshop. They also have Designer and Publisher available which are also first rate.

Well done Andrew. Why pay for something when you can get it for free. Power to your elbow !

That works really well and the quality of the images is fine. Are you going to manufacture a vegetarian version as well?

Thank you Andrew watching the bees is so relaxing. Thank goodness for your salmon can magnifier!

Thanks for another great video. Love the footage of the bees enjoying the flowers on the chives

Thank you Andrew for another great video 😊

10/10 for ingeniuity & execution 👏 I considered making something similar for my 6D a few years ago but I never thought of adding lenses into the mix! My design never made it out of the confines of my mind though, so I stuck to using my hand above the screen to try shield from the sun...

Now that you have solved that problem I am sure they will devise a congestion tax for being in an area too long and at the wrong time. Failing that they will tax you for breathing or excessive photon gathering. But that's just my thinking as an overtaxed over regulated one political party state which moves in Orwellian directions by the moment, so, I can be a bit sour about any topic.

Brilliant! When are you auditioning for Blue Peter?😋

I photographed the same loco on the 18th near Durham

Looking at a 5D Mark II - A setup from my C850D ... And access to full frame Hmmmmmm

The colors from canon are very nice. The true is, l like the original Foto very much. To upgrade the photos, i also do and the results are really amazing. Later i never know wich one is my favorite 😂 thank you for sharing.
