Thanks Chris. I finally did that a couple of days ago. I got a prompt reply to say that the problem is known and being worked on, but no indication of when a fix might be expected.

I often use the Lightroom Range Mask on adjustments. It allows masking by colour or luminosity. It seemed to be rather imprecise at first, but either Adobe have improved it or I have got better at ...

Mostly I agree. I lumped a lot of good uses under "hold the camera steady during exposure" :-). However think my Olympus IBIS helps at speeds faster than 1/60s when using a telephoto, and HDR ...

I have both, and use the Pen-F at least half of the time, with the smaller primes. With the lenses you have, especially the 17mm, it would be fine. With the 40-150 it would probably be usable too, ...

Olympus Capture IS a 64-bit program. It wasn’t listed as 32-bit before I upgraded to Catalina, so I expected it to keep working. On my MacBook it starts up, requested access permissions, and ...

Perhaps it needs to be said that there are two reasons for wanting a tripod outdoors. One is to hold the camera steady during exposure. With image stabilisation it’s often not needed. The other, ...

It depends on the travel you have in mind. For some of the discussions here, travel means “fits in an airline carry-on bag”. I don’t need that, and I find my FLM CP-26L fine for walking up to an ...

I enjoyed the video. A great example of what can be done, and a tribute to the lens!

I agree. I bought the first DxO version, having previously bought Color Efex from Nik, and then the full suite from Google (before it became free). DxO certainly didn’t deliver good value for the ...

Many landscape photographers swear by graduated filters, but I found I was swearing at them. I think Sailor Blue has it right, if you are willing to take multiple exposures and post-process there ...

I use an OpTech Bin/Op strap with my X100 and Pen-F. It is inexpensive, light, and the neoprene resists sliding off a shoulder. It is just long enough for me to sling diagonally, but I am slimmer ...

Thank you. I have a photo club B&W challenge coming up, and I'd overlooked this one as a possibility. I tend to think of simpler scenes for B&W, but that might be a mistake. I haven't settled on a ...

I think your rain is different to mine :-). In Scotland it's usually windy when it is raining; too windy to use an umbrella outside a town (and they aren't much use there either). I can take ...

I had the original X100 and I have a Pen-F, often used with the 17mm f/1.8. If it is to be your only camera, the E-M10 is usable in many more situations, with image stabilisation and other ...

The changes are confusing, but perhaps not as bad as you think. Firstly, both Studio 1 and Studio 2 can be called as plugins. Sure there is an extra step in Studio to select your filter, but that ...

I followed the transfer of plugins like Detail and Clarity into Topaz Studio, and was fairly happy with that. But then Studio was replaced by Studio 2. It still feels very unfinished compared to ...

I think it is a mistake to think of the 45mm as just a portrait lens. You could be missing a lot of good urban and landscape detail. Looking at my Lightroom statistics I was surprised to see that ...

I have the Lite version of the lens, which I guess was produced later. It has the same issue. It’s not a significant problem for me, now that I am aware of it, but no doubt it would have caught me ...

Hmm, I have just had a definitely-genuine “flash sale” offer for the same $49, but for Luminar 3! Doesn’t seem very ethical to fail to mention that Luminar 4 is out soon. And on the UK Luminar 4 ...

I use my 17mm and 45mm lenses the most. Next is the 60mm macro, good as a general telephoto as well as macros, and still light enough for a jacket pocket. I have the 25mm, but for me it’s too ...
