The *Official Photography Thread*

I do the same thing.

Their deals are good for three days after the mail comes out. So this would have expired yesterday.

Adorama often has a similar deal. Plus, if you're a student, $79 is the regular price.

 

I did not see a link for the standalone... I downloaded the plugin, but now that I'll need to buy PS it'll have to wait.

 

That's a plugin for lightroom, no?

 

Enfuse is yes. Great plug in.




Also I think this is the stand alone..I've never used it though

I'd get LR. great program and cheaper and good was to start out.

 

Is it standalone, or does it require PS/CS?
I thought it was a plug-in.

$100-$150, I'll spend.
Not going to spend $300+

 

That's it.
Worked on the test images. I don't think it'll stitch... I'll have to set up the tripod and try some bracketing to see what it'll do with HDR.

 

Lightroom?? No it's it's own program..what I use as Marc and Chaz and a few others.

Enfuse is a plugin for Lightroom.

 

You bought that?

 

$10? Why not.

It'll be something to work with until I get Lightroom.

 

Nice! Hope it works well.

 

Well I guess I should start reading my emails because I still have Lightroom 2.5.... I'm pretty bummed I missed out on 5 for $69

 

This wasn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. Adorama & B&H have had several offers at that price.

 

This offer is a bit different I guess, to get the offer you had to have spent XX amount of money within the last YY number of months with B&H. And the promo code is only good for one time use so sending it to someone by PM is better than posting it. If you post it can bet someone will grab it and use it. I used mine almost 5 days after the email was sent to someone else but not sure how long the offer will be good for.

Adorma has LR 5 upgrade for only $7 more ($76) if you don't get the B&H code. I know you can upgrade from LR 3 to 5 not sure about 2.5. At one time Adobe made you upgrade version through version and pay for each which is one of the reasons that I am not a fan of Adobe. But they have gotten better over the years for the most part. There is a rumor that Adobe is releasing LR 6 soon and that is why this offer is out there but it is just that, speculation. However Adobe is pushing cloud software and moving to a high monthly fee instead of the traditional one time purchase and lifetime ownership license model. They have mentioned that is the direction they are headed but have been known to change their licensing model midstream more than once, who knows. I'd at least keep an eye for that and if it does happen grab the latest copy of local install instead of the monthly fee cloud distribution.

 

2nd this. I just got it last week and there are tons of free videos on YouTube showing different features and tutorials.

 

What's the easiest way to sort through photos and delete the ones you don't want to edit? I went throw and flagged/rejected a good many last night and couldn't figure out of there was a way to blanket delete the rejected ones.

 

In the Library module Grid view (press the "G" key to bring it up), you can select flags as a filter option. When you first select that filter option it will only show images that you flagged as picks. At the top middle above will be 3 flag icons, so just click on the reject flag to turn it on and click on the pick flag to hide your picks.

so, can the same code be used more than once, so long as the actual customer is different each use?

 

x2... i noticed those two tend to compete with each other on these promos...

 

I flag them.

I go through the ones i import and as you look at them, hit P, and it will flag the photo. Once all the way through, sort by flagged. Then i edit them.


To delete though LR can't do that.

It can delete the photo from its catalog, but not from the harddrive. LR is a non destructive editing program. When you import a photo, LR is basically take the file as a refereance so it knows where it is. Then when you edit it it doesn't actually change the file. It just applys the changes in real time to what you see. LR then has a catalog of file paths and edits so when you bring up a photo it remembers where its at to load it, and the edits you did to apply them. But the actual RAW or JPEG file you imported remains untouched.

so if you want to free up HD space, you have to go to the place on the HD where the actual files are and delete those.
