Bob, it is likely based on the IP address (or physical address if identifiable) of the closest identifiable hop on the network to you. This would be an address owned by your network provider. It ...

Debbie, IMO, that strategy is not really useful. If you are doing dual cards as a "backup", you should write simultaneously. That is when the "lowest speed" issue is important. A real backup occurs ...

Debbie, I suggest that you check the camera specs for the max write speed it supports. Not much point in exceeding that unless you want "protection" for a future upgrade. I've never used the 2nd ...

Rather than a restore, which will likely wipe out anything else that you changed, I'd reinstall the NIK Collection first. Richard

One way that works is to use star ratings in Lightroom and set the PL filter to the appropriate number. I use 3 or 4 stars, sometimes 5 to select images for processing. Richard

I'm not familiar with these, all mine are RRS . No problem in getting them directly from RRS unless they are out-of-stock. Gripped/ungripped are different fittings, you will likely need 2, but see ...

This may not always be true esp. for larger 100's>1000's of attendees events. What may be done is that things like meeting room/meal costs are reduced (keeps "Conference fees" lower) but the room ...

First, you do have a backup, right? Always keep a minimum of 2 copies of everything you value. Then, if you have a problem, you have  a backup. "Problem" is accidentally delete, file becomes ...

A two-way sync (to me) implies both copies are identical. If options are used that preserve files in the  destination, then its not synchronized. It may suffice for a user. Richard

Eric, OK, you delete a file, do a 2-way sync... what happens to the  "backup"? The file gets deleted. So you realize you really needed that file. It's gone.... Sync is not a backup... For security ...

IMO, Thom Hogan's guides (bythom.com) are way more useful than Nikon's manuals. Thom has a lot of the "why and how" this is missing from the Nikon Guide. Richard

Winterlude, You don't have to. Export all the images from LR as full-size TIF or PSD files. That will freeze in all your edits (as a single layer). Just open them in any other software to continue ...

Aleks, Time will tell. You should not have to do this. I have used PL  for over a decade, and Nik Collection for almost as long. The current version of NIK collection will not install on one ...

I'm pleased that the solution has been found, incorrect usage of the system language setting. Like others, I'm surprised as DXO operates internationally in multiple languages as a Paris (France) ...

Backup software uses lossless compression (Zip or similar). Anything else is useless. What would happen to a program file if lossy compression was used... it would not work. You will not loose ...

Ok, here is your solution. Leave NR turned off (it likely won't have a significant impact on other steps), do all your tweaking and view the image (export if you like). Then when satisfied, rerun ...

AFAIK, all the real processing is done at once. There may be specific orders that it should be done in for best results. What you see on the screen is a preview of edits to date. You are asking for ...

Jomppak, There is a good reason for this. DeepPrime is very compute-intensive. The raw files are also processed as an entity, not step-by-step. If you were to "preview" each file it would be a very ...

For clarity, you can "edit with LR changes" or "Edit Original" If you edit original you end up with 2 files, one with each edit set. If you edit with LR changes these get baked in so you need to ...

Or the next greatest feature comes out. How much do you have invested in equipment? Adobe's photog package gives you LR and PS for about $Cdn 150 a year. Major features or bug fixes/minor tweaks? I ...
