As with most plugins, since they facilitate the Adobe engine, "you" can probably achieve the same, or similar effects with Photoshop's / LR's tools.   The difference is weather you want to take...

I think that with the 200-400 there were unforeseen issues found in field testing to overcome.   In general, however, I'm sure a lot of "the other" takes place as to marketing ploys.   Certainly,...

I haven't read all of the "Re's", so my advice may be repetitive. (1) When my 100-400 AF hunts in "normal" light, it's usually the Focus limiter set at the inappropriate position.   (2) For a small...

You will get auto focus with either, with a 2.8. The iii has demonstrated slightly better contrast than the ii. The iii can electronically communicate with some lens/ body combinations which may...

The image files have to be on the hard drive of the laptop for any program installed  to access them "directly".   Image files are not typically stored within an application.    The application...

"Nope", quit Acronis several years back due to  numerous problems, and switched to Paragon, which has worked flawlessly with more than a few successful Restores.   Leigh   www.leighwax.com

It's purpose is:After the lens indicates it has  acheived auto-focus, with the shutter button still held "half-way"down; if the focus doesn't appear to be "spot-on",  you can tweak it. The 100-400L...

With a new product you're getting a unit of which one out of a selected number is "pulled off" the "assembly line", and if within spec, it's assumed that those preceding it are also within...

Fungus is something that can form on lens coatings if a lens has been subject to dampness/moisture.There is no fix for it other than to replace the glass elements, which could cost more than buying...

All in all I think ACR does a better job of extracting shadow detail, but I ave an image of a Snowy Egret with it's breast in shadow from it's wing, which appeared as a blue cast.I couldn't...

I was among the early complainers, but  I'd hoped they'd improved things. Thanks for the reply. Leigh

I bought the $80 US Photo Ninja update after extensive comparison with ACR-7. My opinion on it's current state is that it has potential, but "otta" be still in BETA form, as I think early user's...

In addition to the foregoing advice:(1) Apply a copyright/watermark. (2) Of more importance:Store your Name, & Copyright info. on your camera.That way the image file's EXIF stores that info with...

(1) Where is "Preview" option for posts, on the "new" DPR Forum Format. (2) Is there a Spell Check option?(I used Google Spell Check on the previous format, but on the current one, using it deletes...

I don't use Aperture; but what ever is "burned" to a/the DVD is what it was "saved as".If you saved it as a jpeg that's what it will be on the DVD; if saved as a raw/CR-2 file, that's what will be...

I never entered anything other than the product and serial numbers; and I have friends that have lenses they bought Used listed on their CPS accounts, so "that" doesn't make sense. Leigh

I use Goodsync for that purpose. It's worked flawkessly for me. http://www.goodsync.com/ Leigh www.leighwax.com

Previously I always checked the spelling of my posts/replies with Google Tool Bar's Spell Check. When I tried it on this new format, it "wiped-out" my entire post. Is there a Spell-Check "tool"...
