Using the free Luminar 4 download on Windows 11 PC. I am having a problem with exporting an edited image. Specifically, when selecting File>Export, usually nothing happens--no export box appears. ...

Did a little "editing" in FRV and then sent to Photoshop Elements. Came into ACR as a RAW without any changes...just what I want.

After viewing RAW images in FRV and then sending the chosen images to an image editor (eg, Photolab,) I'd like to know if the rendering parameters have an effect on these files when in Photolab?  ...

I shoot RAW. Is the histogram RAW, or just JPG? Thanks.

I believe that you can add PL to your content menu's or Viewer's menu (I use Firefox and FastRawViewer) "Open with."  Having done that, you only have to right click the image file and select the ...

I handle this problem by moving the images to a separate folder, and then bringing them into PL.

How about this? First off to Photolab5 (just lens and Prime,) next Photoshop Elements + NIK (select couple, invert-touch-up background, select couple-work on suit and dress open blue suit and ...

Those settings are already in place...thanks. BTW, before I read your reply, I had sent you a PM about what I thought some of the implications of the BBF setup vs the point and shoot setup were as ...

Getting a bit long in the tooth and am a little confused about changing a menu setting. I'm presently setup for BBF and would like to set a custom menu (C-2) so that pressing the shutter button ...

Iliah, thanks for the explanation.

Yeah, it's green clipping. You appear to be suggesting that ISO 250 is problematic...at least in this photo. If so, care to expand on that?

Thanks, kickerhawk, for recognizing my problem and for adding good advice to ggbutcher's good advice. I've learned a lot from this post. And, again, thanks to all.

Agreed about ETTR being "onerous" and using highlight reconstruction...as this is what I usually do. But. let me tell you, photographing white birds is a PITA if one want to wind up with a ...

Got it. Yeah, greater dynamic range is the ticket. I find that I'm not having much of a noise problem with my FZ1000 as long as I don't go much higher than ISO 800. However, I also find that ...

Lucky you to be able to "...set Highlight-Weighted Matrix mode for my meter..."  Don't think this is possible with my FZ1000. So, I guess that leaves me with relying on post-processing to get ...

My biggest problem is that most of the bird shots have birds that are just about all white, and they get clipped unless I dummy down the EC. With PSE 18 and Photolab 5, I am able to reduce much, ...

OK, I've done some testing, but don't know whether the testing is for answering how to adjust for green clipping? Here's what I did: Took 4 RAW shots under same lighting conditions and camera ...

Reasonable. I'm not really sure just how to do this. Here's what I think: I'd have to take some test shots and view the green histo, and when I get to a histo that doesn't show green clipping, I ...

Is this to be done in camera? How does one measure the green value and hold? But, as the blues and reds are usually well metered (ie, not blown,) wouldn't it be more reasonable to just correct the ...

Interesting, particularly about the 105% setting of the zebras. I think I remember reading someone's lengthy, but very good, user's guide to the FZ1000 (may have been on this site: ...
