I usually try Auto.  If it looks a half decent starting point and quicker to adjust from there, that’s what I do.  If not, a quick Ctrl-z undoes the Auto and I can start from scratch or try one of ...

Lightroom still seems not to be releasing memory properly. Today I had it working intensively doing a load of HDR merges (where speed has definitely improved recently). I had task manager running. ...

How high (if at all) did you set ghost removal? Lightroom is fairly basic for HDR, but simple to use.  Aurora will, for example, allow you to set which of a series of images to use as the base for ...

An update on slowness issues.  Yesterday I copied 14 images into an existing catalogued folder (I restored them from a backup, because I was worried I might have deleted the wrong ones, and wanted ...

I have not carried out any timed tests, but subjectively it generally feels a bit (but not much) better on a fairly old 2OGB RAM Windows x64 i7 system.  Export, if anything, feels slower.  And the ...

Any news on when this is likely to be released?

The leap forward in AF on Nikon’s part is a relatively recent matter, with the arrival of the D5. So far as I can recall, this was the first model to open clear blue water from Canon’s offerings. G ...

Yes, I do use live view sometimes, and the 5DIV live view is leagues ahead of previous iterations.  The point I was making is that in choosing between cameras, the two areas relevant to me in ...

First 5DIV died without warning in India.  Conditions were not extreme (in Simla).  Camera replaced, then increasingly would not start after switching off for a lens change.  There was a long ...

No.  Reliability is the main issue. Forgetting the initial rejects because of sensor spots, the first 5DIV died a few days into a long trip.  The replacement malfunctioned and was repaired by Canon ...

Beautiful. Perfectly timed for the new arrival in Scotland! Graham

The safety factor is very useful, even for experienced users.  Yesterday I had a number of images selected, to which a duplicated keyword was applied.  I wanted to delete the keyword from my ...

Sadly it is not as good as even Lightroom for DAM, and Lightroom leaves a lot to be desired. Take keywording as an example.  No support for synonyms, no non-exporting keywords, and removing a ...

Yes, from Wex Photographic.  They are highly reputable dealers in the U.K. and I would never have any suspicions of their supplying grey imports or anything like that.  They are not always the ...

Yes, indeed (I think it was replaced twice, meaning I was on my third, but what's one more body between friends?).  I think there were two 5dIVs as well originally, but cannot really remember.  I ...

Just spoke to Canon (although I did not succeed in speaking to the technician who actually did the repair).  I was told that the main and bottom circuit boards have been replaced: no indication ...

Thank you.  I do have an old Sigma 12-24 which has been used with previous 5D iterations and also my 1DXII with no issues.  I was using this today, and in fact all my pictures had been taken with ...

Nooooooooooooooo.  Why did I have to tempt fate by posting this yesterday? :( Out today, had taken a couple of dozen pictures.  Found an interesting field growing pumpkins.  Put on and took a few ...

Sadly being a CPS member does not shield you from this happening. I am a CPS member (UK) and had my 5DIV repaired and similarly was on first name terms with the technician in the end (who was very ...

Likewise.  I love my G1XII and with an improved sensor with better DR and hopefully a little more zoom at the longer end of the lens range, it would be awesome.  Unlike others, I am not bothered ...
