You might also want to try focus stacking software such as Helicon Focus which comes with Helicon Remote, software to control you camera (full control including stepping the focus for stacking). Ri ...

... etc. Been doing that for many years, keeps things organized. Next is: Don't reset file numbering to 0 for each folder, let it roll to 9999. Then after copying from the card to disk, each shoot ...

The "brand" does not matter. The point of a backup is at least 2 copies (preferably 3) on independent devices. 1 internal drive + 1 ext drive gives you 2 independent copies. Does not matter if it ...

Irrelevant. A file is a file.... You transfer it, then edit. A lot is "personal preference". Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO PhotoLab For general editing. Specalist programs for specialist tasks... Richard

I would assume that you mean the images are on 5 drives, the catalog (database) itself is on one drive. Do you need all 5 drives online for immediate access? If not then I would suggest the current ...

I still use my D3X as a 2nd/Backup camera. Not a high ISO beast by any means, but very usable. I just bought replacement 3rd party batteries, they work fine (as do my hi-cap batteries for my D850 ...

Next time.....

Nigel, And backup before deleting or  editing... When I am downloading I note the total number of images on the card, then make sure that the sum of images copied (assuming some different folders) ...

I have used the programs provided by both Sandisk and Lexar. They work within their limitations. Any recovery program will bypass the FAT (which is destroyed by formatting) and attempt to identify ...

A Google search on that number shows a pile of (presumably) Japanese websites. B&H doesn't make the list. Restricting to English language, still no B&H. I would say that is "unusual". B&H's web ...

Personally I don't think adding support for 4K monitors is really a brand new version that should have a new name. IIRC there are also new presets (good starting points...). I agree that offering a ...

Firstly is the policy "current value" or "replacement cost", they are quite different. Current value would be replace X yr old model Y with used in similar condition. Replacement cost is replace ...

Even if you start from a RAW file, you cant save it so it has to be a TIF (or PSD...). IMO, DXO is doing existing users of the NIK package who are already using DXO (esp the Elite version) a great ...

Thanks to all for the feedback. I've not had this issue in over 10 years using DxO Optics Pro/Photolab, nor seen the specific error msg referred to by others (for any software). I have daily ...

Once installed from a different account, it works from the primary account. Others here have suggested removing all references before reinstalling (for each upgrade?). Removing custom settings ...

Good stab, this does work, but does not identify the real problem. It is very specific to DXO, it does not happen with any other software. If it is a registry issue, what key(s)? Richard

I successfully installed the then current DXO Photolab at the end of January on a new Win 10 Pro machine. No issues. All subsequent attempts to install later bug fix versions have failed with a ...

Heavy crop or Jpg quality on export set too low? Richard

Yes, but it is a sub-set of the PixelGenius tool. I publish (in print and web) a small (Camera Club) Photography magazine. LR does not do "offset" sharpening (much stronger than Inkjet/Web use). Ri ...

Still using my D3X as a backup... If the higher ISO capability of the 3s is not needed, the D3X will serve you better. Richard
