Hi Sherm, a quick question. I have Photolab on trial at the moment. Can I not sharpen in Photolab rather having to use Topaz sharpen? Kind Regards John

A lot depends on what you use your camera for. I had an FZ200 which had become a bit temperamental. I used it a lot at the far end of its zoom range. Butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, planes etc ...

Hi Alwyn, thanks for that. I have downloaded Capture One 22 express for Sony and will give it a try. May post some attempts later. Interested to see what your take on the images might be! Stay ...

Hi Alwyn, again some lovely images. I particularly like the head shots and the image of the sparrow with a 'grub'. You have proved that you can take really nice pictures of what might be a very ...

Hi Nigel, thank you for your succinct points in favour of post processing from RAW. I will try to persevere with DxO photolab and my RX10iv shooting RAW. In your experience do you need anything ...

HI Bob, yes I agree with you. In my ideal world I should need to do minimal post processing. I should be able to enjoy my pictures straight out of the camera. Apart from cropping I should not need ...

Hi Nigel, thank you for your replies. I will aim to persevere with the DxO photolab. I still have a couple of weeks left on the free trial. Still finding it awkward to import new images into the ...

Hi Nigel, Thank you for that. I am finding Photoshop Express easy to use but a bit limited. NCH suite, Capture One, and Affinity Photo seem to give harsh unreal images, which might be down to ...

Hi there, I have been attempting to do some post processing using free/trial versions of a small number of software packages with mixed results, and it may well be I am expecting too much and ...

Hi that first shot of the kingfisher is a shot to die for. It is lovely. How on earth did you get so close? I have attempted to take pictures of kingfishers, but whilst enjoying the experience ...

Hi there, being a visual learner ( I like reading books and papers), is there a simple way to print off a whole thread. I have been following a lot of discussions on the Sony Cyber-shot forum, and ...

Hi Alwyn, lovely set of images. I particularly like the way you have caught the still body and wings with slight motion blur. Which of your settings did you use? Kind Regards John

Hi Sherm, Thank you for the reply. It's not what I expected but is the logical reason. How do you find this picture to look at focus points. If my camera is on AF flexible spot small and centred ...

Hi there, I recently took two pictures of the same bird using my new-ish RX10iv. Looking at the data for the images the only difference if in timing which shows they were taken three seconds. I do ...

Hi there, well actually metal BIF. and yes these do still fly. I took my RX10iv to the first airshow of the year at Old Warden which has the Shuttleworth collection of historic aircraft. Thoughts ...

Hi Tom, yes you are quite right I do need lots of practice, and I also need to avoid being impatient. I suspect some of my angst has been that images taken recently I may not be able to repeat, ...

Jodaco, thanks for the reply. I do not have any real experience of post processing. Until I bought the RX10iv I had always shot JPEG only images, and at the most done some cropping. Now with the ...

Nigel, once again thank you for your response. Yes I will stick with the Photolab trial without Pure Raw. Cheers John

Hi Guy, thanks for the input. Yes it is good to know that with RAW or ARW files I can always go back and start again. Cheers John

Hi there, commentators on this and other forums have been full of praise for DxO photlab 5. I am thinking of trying out the free trial for a month and was wondering how you used it and whether I ...
