The changes are applied 'virtually'. When you are happy with your changes you then export the virtual image to create a jpg. You always have the original unless you actually delete it. We also use Lightroom to tag and catalogue images so we can search say for a photo of a daffodil throughout all our photos quickly.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-73192661209139019662017-02-06T23:21:41.702+00:002017-02-06T23:21:41.702+00:00It makes you wonder where technology will go next,...It makes you wonder where technology will go next, MalarSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-4367294241717537772017-02-06T23:03:39.332+00:002017-02-06T23:03:39.332+00:00Well I only took my mobile to the plot today - and...Well I only took my mobile to the plot today - and now I am failing to save the pictures after emailing them to myself - They have arrived as embedded pictures instead of attachments. No post today and I will take my camera next time - on auto setting. Occasionally I do crop or change the exposure but that facility seems to be available as options on my photo gallery. For the most part I try to avoid it though as I end up with lots of different versions of the same pic or I get carried away and overwrite the original by mistake with a psychedelic sky! I'm willing to learn - but need clear train tracks to follow...Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169050358049841998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-19234307748398932862017-02-06T02:02:17.664+00:002017-02-06T02:02:17.664+00:00The original photo look good too Sue!

I have been wondering for some time if it was worth investing in light room, which I understand has gone to an annual subscription now, compared to what is already available on my Apple Mac in edit photos?

You do what you like best and don't get bogged down with technicalities. I am about to post on FB a question I have often been asked you might find it interesting. Keep up the good work your results in such a short time mean you have a good eye for what makes a good photo.David Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276760687239662781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-7645246228070248332017-02-04T17:08:36.280+00:002017-02-04T17:08:36.280+00:00My thoughts exactly, Deborah.

I have found some of my camera options are not available in Auto so I have to dip my foot ion the proverbial water. Light settings are beyond me as even if your head around it, the light changes so quickly at times.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-89479298424595460292017-02-04T12:04:28.581+00:002017-02-04T12:04:28.581+00:00that's a delightful picture, btw!that's a delightful picture, btw!Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-88320509020558097972017-02-04T12:02:48.247+00:002017-02-04T12:02:48.247+00:00As a user of Photoshop I would never accuse anyone...As a user of Photoshop I would never accuse anyone of cheating! lol although, I have been accused of cheating, so I know what it is like. What's the difference between making adjustments before or after the shot is taken? Being careful to avoid my soapbox now!<br />I do like the thought of taking back control by using the manual settings, and, as you know I am {supposed to be} taking part in a year long course to this purpose, but not been able to do very much as I can't get to grips, properly, with these manual settings. I'm finding, as I expected, I'm missing shots because I'm off auto. I never once missed a shot using a 35mm camera, btw! I missed last night's spectacular sunset {after an abysmal day} just because I'd forgotten I was on manual! Piffle.<br />There's a place for both, but when you are dealing with a fleeting moment auto is the must go to choice. I shall faff around with compositions and still life etc. on manual, but auto and Photoshop for everything else!Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.com
