Looks like a significant improvement in DAM capabilities and Fuji support, both of which aren't of any interest to me. Improved control of Control Points and the new Control Line(?) with luma and ...

Your experience says far more about the course leaders than your gear. Ian

Can't help with your problem but have you tried DXO Photolab Elite. The DeepPrime noise reduction and lens corrections are excellent. DeepPrime really helps with MFT if you have to use high ISO's. Ian

Black and White is by definition an abstraction of reality. Unless you suffer from achromatopsia.

Just download the free 30 day trial and you will actually know. Ian

Edit with works fine with Affinity on Windows for me so is this a Mac specific issue? Ian

You need the DXO-Photolab V4 Elite (V5 out in a few weeks). In DXO-Photolab you can apply your colour profile (dcp) and image adjustments before exporting to DNG for further processing if needed. Ian

I am sure Adobe will come up with a profile for the R5/6. These things always take time and Adobe is normally one of the first to produce new profiles / support. If you are looking around take a ...

DXO has a very limited DAM compared to LR is the first consideration. If a DAM is a major part of your workflow don't bother looking at DXO. That aside DXO offers class leading lens correction via ...

That is good news, I thought they may be just concentrating on Adobe products. Big fan of Silver Efex, but have you looked at the B&W in C1 recently? Although the B&W tool is one of the few tools ...

Helping each other is what these forums are for 😀 I moved from LR and there is a lot more in C1 than LR to learn, even down to basics like having levels available.  Just in case you aren't aware ...

In the example you gave doesn't just grabbing the burn/dodge style brush accomplish what you want? Ian

Yes, LR+PS for £10,but it costs £20 just for PS. Ian

If Free NIK is giving you what you need then stick with it. NIK 4 has a better UI, includes Viewpoint Smart Object/readjustment but functionality is basically similar. Of course if you like the ...

With LR at £10 and PS at £20 I cannot see any logic in saying they are giving away PS with LR? :-) The new layer UI for local adjustments in LR may not be a game changer but it is a very big ...

That was certainly the case years ago but now that Adobe give away PS free with LR that restriction is largely going away. Ian

Thanks for the heads up. C1 really seem to be listening to their customers these days and responding. I didn't think we would get another free update before V22. Ian

Yes, I have a 1990's database, a finance program and the old Lotus Smartsuite running under Windows 10. Excellent compatibility. Ian

Different software works differently, even sliders with the same name are not the same. Trying to use different software in the same way leads to difficulties. DXO has lens modules which correct ...

You could try updating the graphics driver. Ian
