I don't see your logic here. If you are doing an HDR sequence, you don't have to lift the shadows if you got the exposure range correct.

This is a good opportunity to strip your existing drive down and get rid of any programs, etc. that don't use any longer before the clone job. I have always had good luck with the Samsung data ...

In the USA, since this is not hobby drone operations, your pilots will have to have a FAA 107 pilot certificate. Hope the research goes well :-)

The only way to get acceptable results is with a drone camera that you can control the focus. Unless you can control the focus, you will find that the drone camera is probably focused on infinity. ...

What version of LR CL CC are you using? The latest is 8.3. Try the auto button first to see if that takes care of your issue. According to the LR CL CC histogram, the photo is very flat with no ...

You need faces, in focus, good light and emotional expressions. No shots with mics obscuring any part of the face.

LR 8.2 applies a default sharpening on import of 40 on a scale of 0-150. I'm not sure you would call that automatic or not :-)  Earlier versions of LR applied 25 sharpening.

I can appreciate your situation... Here are a couple of things that make it go faster for me: 1. Use a camera with no more megapixels than you absolutely need. I generally use my D700, a 12 ...

That would have been a good idea, but I have already torn down the set. I would not usually go smaller in aperture than f:11  due to diffraction. I'm very happy with the results of the D850 focus ...

I did this focus stack test today with my D850 and 105 2.8 AFs VR Micro Nikkor. ISO 64, 1/1000 @ f:5.6. I used live view and silent shutter. For scale, the wheel on the model is the size of a U.S. ...

Agree with NCB, the DF or the D610 will fit your expectations for similarity with the FE2 (which along with the FA is a great camera).

You can start the gradient anywhere you want, but (given the example of starting a "quarter" of the way from the top of the photo, all the area above the gradient will be at 100% of the gradient ...

My maxed out rMBP 2015 would handle that easily, I'm sure. If I was doing that process, I would start with tethering the camera to the MBP with Lightroom Classic CC, take the two photos, then send ...

For big jobs like all day or all night music show/festival I will come back with 3000-4000 images. Some are clearly unusable like performers face obscured by the mike. I use Photomechanic to ingest ...

Ruifnnikon, you are right for sure! And thanks :-)

Check with BenQ about your issues. I'm using the Xrite iOne pro calibration system on my MacBook Pro system with one external Dell monitor. That's working fine. My desktop system (PC) is using dual ...

Correction on this photo. This was taken with my D700. I used both the D810 and D700 for this job.

Beautiful photos! I especially appreciate having the D500 and D850 because the controls are so well placed and similar. I was trying to show one of my friends how the focus stacking worked on the ...

Yes, it's a long, hot, but beautiful drive in the summer and early fall :-)

This place sold last year for $700K almost solely on the strength of the photos. The buyers lived 2000 miles away and only had about 15 minutes to see the property before catching their flight. D81 ...
