Lightroom forgets Import Screen Settings – Sort order always wrong

For some reason lightroom  keeps forgetting the settings on the import dialog boxes.  I set the options I want, but they are forgotten when I go back and do another Import   (sort order and organize into one folder are always unselected). In order to fix this create a new preset with the sort order and organizing to one folder selected and save the preset. The next time you use the import dialogue the import settings on the screen will default to […]

Micro Focus Adjustment – How To

As my aging eyes require a bit of help focusing (especially for nature shots) – I have found that the preset auto focus settings are NOT always reliable as released by the manufacturer for each camera body and lens. To save me time, I put the following information together from several sources,  the first section from: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/cameras/1ds3_af_micoadjustment.html and the second section from Spyder Lenscal. Both Canon Micro Auto Focus and Nikon AF Fine Tune allow micro focus adjustments to calibrate a camera body […]

iMessages on Mac

  Copied from http://www.appleworld.today/blog/2015/8/6/how-to-set-up-mac-os-x-messages-to-send-sms-texts   Recently I noted that, for whatever reason, Messages on my Mac quit offering the option to send folks messages in any format but its native iMessage format. Since some of my friends, relatives and business associates are still heathens and don’t have Macs or iPhones, I had to rejigger things so I could send simple text messages. If you’re facing the same problem, here’s how you send SMS texts from OS X Messages (You’ll need […]

Lightroom Plugins – How to Manage and remove Behance, Flickr etc.

I like to get rid of the crud that Adobe clogs up the Publish services with.  To do that: Click one of the servers, in this example Bechance – Setup.  At the bottom of the screen click:Plug-n Manager … “Show in Finder” is displayed for each service by clicking on the service name.  Click the Show in Finder button. Remove the Bechance.lrplugin file.  (repeat for all undesired services). Shutdown and restart LR. Bechance and any other of the deleted services have now […]

Lightroom 6 CC 2015.1 – Canon 5Ds and 5DsR Tether – Mac, Windows and Capture One Problem Fixed (Solved)

The USB  tethering for LR 6 CC was not working for this 5DSR – it cycles as if it connects then disconnects every second. Adobe is using an old version of code from Canon – simply copy the Canon code from EOS Utility V3 to the correct location for LR to use. (Update – on Jan 6/2016 I updated to DPP 4 and this broke the LR tether again. I had to restore from DPP 3). Capture One: Here is a […]

Lightroom 6 CC – Startup Issues / First Impressions/ Whats New

On April 21, 2015 Adobe released Lightroom 6.  I downloaded it and promptly found I could not start it.  I would see the splash screen for an instant and then nothing.  The solution to that problem is here. (instructions logoff of Adobe Creative Cloud and back in again). If you are part of the monthly CC version, you can download LR6 at no additional charge from the Creative Cloud App. If you wish to purchase LR 6 outright – Adobe seems to […]
