    Small bounce flash for LX100

    With my LX100 mk2, I also use, and use happily, the Godox TT350O . Wait for Black Friday sales. I paid $59.99 at BH last November 28.

    Inherent Problem with the LX100 Series?

    Despite weeks sometimes going by without using my LX100 M2, I have not experienced the problem.

    DxO 50% off

    If, as I just did, you decide to upgrade to PL 7 Elite, at the bottom of the webpage you'll be invited to buy FP7 and VP4. Be careful. The prices given are not the upgrade price. Just to be safe, I went back one page, saw and selected FP7 at the upgrade price, and was returned to the purchase...

    Flash for LX100 II: Godox V350O, Godox V860iii, something else?

    BH has the Godox V860iii on deep discount at $129 and the Godox V350 at $139. Adorama has the corresponding store-branded Flashpoint models at the same prices. Both flashes seem like good buys. Ordinarily, I'd think it an easy decision to get the better V860iii. My concern is whether it's too...

    DxO Photolab 7 - InDepth Review - VS Lightroom VS Capture 1

    Both in late November 2022 and today, perusing the DxO website should have made clear that, while Photolab is a stand-alone raw conversion and editing program, Pure Raw is essentially a raw conversion program that is part of a workflow with an editing program. Using the Wayback Machine, I...

    Upgrade from PL5 elite to elite or from Affinity 1 to 2? Pixel raw?

    I'm a content user of PL5 elite, with which I do the developing and most of the editing of raw images from my Panasonic LX100 M2, occasionally also using of Affinity 1. I also recently bought a Google Pixel 7 Pro, with which I shoot both raw and jpg. Pixel raw (dng) is not supported by PL5 or...

    Point & Shoot Delight

    I own the essentially-identical Panasonic version. From the beginning, it's had both a B + W filter and a JLC automatic lens cap.

    Gigapixel AI : The Future Role With Smart Phone Cameras

    Sensor size is a key reason why, say, 64MP on a full-frame camera doesn't equate photographically to 64MP on a smartphone camera. See, for example, Astronomy: What pixel binning means for smartphone photography and Digital Camera World: What is pixel binning?

    editing JPEG

    If you're comfortable with Silkypix Pro 10, you may want to download a free trial of Silkypix JPEG Photography 10 , process some JPEG photos with both programs, and decide whether you find a meaningful difference. Personally, I use DxO Photolab and (occasionally) Affinity.

    File size limit in PhotoLab 5?

    Yes, I'm scanning color prints. My plan, which indeed may be overkill, had been to scan to tiffs, cull and do selective editing in PL 5, then export to high quality jpegs. Only in rare cases would I retain the tiff "original". My quite possibly mistaken idea was to get as much detail as...

    Can't export image from DXO Photolab 5

    Are you exporting one file at a time or in batches? What's the file size? As you can see from my own post a few minutes before yours, I've encountered a problem exporting c. 150MB tiffs. But I've never had a problem exporting, singly or in batches, from Panasonic RW2 raw files or substantially...

    File size limit in PhotoLab 5?

    The recent death of an elderly relative prompted me to begin scanning old family photographs. I then want to edit selected images. Either because of the file size produced by the scans--c. 150MB--or some other reason, I'm finding that PL 5 regularly freezes I try to batch export edited tiffs to...

    Any chance for a LX100-II successor?

    [snip] [snip] For me, the JCC automatic lens cap has worked perfectly since I bought it and my LX100m2 in February 2019. I also use a B+W 43mm XS-Pro Clear MRC-Nano 007 filter. According to JJC, at least, one can't use a filter with the Panasonic auto lens cap.

    Luminar 4 FREE

    Thank you for the information. I likely wouldn't have known otherwise. Now that I've downloaded it, however, do people with knowledge and experience of both Luminar 4 and DxO Photolab Elite have anything to say regarding Luminar 4's utility as a supplement to Photolab (I recently upgraded from...
