This may be an ignorant question, but can other software read and use the sidecar files.  I love LR, but this move by Adobe rattles me for it's future.  If I knew there was an exit strategy, i.e....

I find Adobe's moves this week quite interesting as well as frustrating.  If have LR 4 and CS6 and that is likely to be the end of the line for me with Adobe.  I believe Corel, Apple and others may...

I wish we could have this discussion without the personal animus. I hate what Adobe is doing, so am not an apologist at all. But I also think Scott Kelby is an honorable man who has built a...

Whether you save them as TIFF has nothing to do with the argument. You lose your work and the ability to come back to an image and tweak as you learn new skills, think about it in a different way...

You would still have your original RAW images but they do in essence erase your work product because you cannot access the hundreds or perhaps thousands of hours of work in the saved non...

this is apples and oranges. The key question is could you use the pictures you took if you returned it? If the mfg disabled them when you returned the camera then it is close to the Adobe model. ...

Before yesterday's announcement I was a huge fan of Adobe, and LR in particular.  But with their new cloud strategy for photoshop, it feels that LR may not be far behind.  Yes I know they...

I would agree that all of the points are awful, so very hard to pick one (except of course the last one). But clearly 1, 2 and 4 are the main drivers for me. Entry price is 2 1/2 times what I...

Welcome to the Hotel California -- you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave!!

Yes you can just ease into the subscription model, spend thousands of hours using it and creating...

This move is an unbelievable price increase for those of us who have been loyal customers and...

Interested in knowing how the graduation pictures came out and what your experiences were. Happy shooting.

I'm a big fan of shooting RAW and using LR for conversion. Two simple moves that improve many if not most pictures: Vibrance slider to pop the least saturated tones Black slider, moved to the...

we toured this vessel a few years ago, and it's a good visit if you are in San Diego

I suspect you will not appreciate this answer.  But to go with your 7D I would recommend carbon fiber like Gitzo, Really right stuff L bracket and Really Right stuff Bh 40 quick release clamp.  You...

I was quite a bit further away than 12 rows, so if you can get within 12 rows you might be fine with the 105

You definitely need the reach, and will likely be a bit short at that range.  I'm not sure about light levels, but when I did my daughter's graduation with a 30D I used 200 mm at f4 IS ISO 800 at...

Great pictures.  It turns out that the skill of the photographer may have more to do with great pictures than the equipment as long as you have some decent gear.  I held on to my 30D until the...

I would not even consider the non IS version.  Look at the f4 IS version, it's much lighter and cheaper, and is one terrific lens.  I had the older non IS version and there is no comparison.  The...

I agree it's a moody picture, I was only responding to OP's original post which was addressing sharpness.
