My 500D arrived today and so I experimented with a few medium-sized tomatoes, taking advantage of the nice light coming in my kitchen window..... Looking around for something to experiment on, I ...

After reading about Graphic Converter on here, I decided to take a look at it and have now purchased and downloaded it;  haven't used it much yet but I can see how valuable it will be for me, as I ...

Those gorgeous stained-glass "flowers" are glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly, who is renowned for his work.  If I ever get out to Vegas I would head right to the Bellagio to see that beautiful ...

What an absolutely wonderful birthday gift!!!!  Happy Birthday!!!

I just checked B&H and saw that they also have the 500D in the 72mm filter size, so I decided that rather than mess with a step-up ring, even though it would be significantly less expensive since ...

Do you have just one SD card?  Best to have at least two, rather than all your eggs in one basket.  If you shoot RAW+ JPG that will take more card space, yes.  Also you really should have some ...

Right now the only software with which you can view and convert RAW images from the RX100 M6 is Sony’s free Imaging Edge.....it has a Viewer component and a fairly basic editing componenr. ...

Yes, I have looked at and tried the “Express” version, the free one, but decided that it was a little too basic for me so that is when I went into C1 Pro 11 for Sony to see what it had to offer.... ...

Then you absolutely should stick to shooting in JPG!!  The problem right now with the RX100 M6 is that it is so new that most editing programs don’t have the right “formula,” for want of a better ...

At the end of July I took both my Sony RX100 M6 and Sony RX10 M4  on a weekend trip with me, where I shot a LOT of images with both cameras, and each camera was set to RAW.  Thankfully the ...

Since the Sony RX100 Mark VI is such a new camera, just was launched in the US in early July, most photography software editing programs have not yet made available a way to convert RAW images, so ...

Thank you, Phil!  Yes, I agree that I need to first stick with the things I want to achieve with my photos, the intended target audience and the most effective way of processing and sharing the ...

No, not really rejecting LR out of hand, it's just that right now I would just as soon try one thing at a time, working with Capture One Pro 11 for Sony for a while (still have some days left in ...

Thank you all for this thread and valuable information in the discussion!! Just what I need as I continue to work with and learn more about my RX10 IV. Haven't tried shooting BIF yet, nor have I ...

Thank you, Jim.  :-)    I am going to continue working with C1 Pro 11 for Sony (I seem to be shooting mostly with Sony cameras these days),  as I am pretty sure that once I get a real handle on it ...

Yeah, printing the manual was an act of desperation stemming from frustration!  LOL!  Actually, I have watched some of the videos -- not the webinars yet, though -- and they are helpful, but it's ...

No way am I going to go looking at Lightroom;  I'm already getting burned out on trying all these other different programs in an attempt to come up with a solution which is workable for me and my ...

Thank you, thank you, for mentioning Raw Power!!!!  I immediately went to the Mac App Store, took a look and purchased/downloaded it.  Upon opening it I felt right at home again, a good feeling!   ...

I just spent some time this afternoon patiently printing out most of the Capture One Pro v.11 User Guide/Help Manual in the hopes that this will help me when I'm trying to do something in that ...

I'm another who is reluctantly making the move away from my beloved Aperture after having used it since its launch. I, too, had been putting off the decision and, yep, a new camera -- the Sony ...
