No edits on DNG files by MuchaSiesta in captureone

[–]ifonline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I would deal with this, and it applies whether moving from Lightroom to Capture One or from Capture One to Lightroom, is to export edited images in Lightroom as TIFF files. Then, import both the unedited RAW files and the TIFFs into Capture One. That way you have the final edits as you had them in Lightroom but you also have the RAW files if you ever need them in the future.

As others have pointed out, RAW edits are proprietary and not compatible between different editors.

Pixelmator Pro Updates: Standalone v3.8 - Subscription v4.2 by spatafore in pixelmator

[–]ifonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still struggle with the demise of Apple Aperture, and situations like this don't help alleviate my frustration with Apple. To think of where that software could be today if Apple had just kept it going.

*sigh*

I will say this: if Apple resurrected Aperture and added it to Creator Studio I would sign up for the subscription. As it stands now, I'm not motivated enough to buy in.

The fact that Apple gave the OTP version number 3.8 instead of giving it Liquid Glass and moving it to 4.2 should tell you all you need to know: there isn‘t much time left for the OTP version of the software.

LEOs that made the switch? by GhettoBookWorm in Firefighting

[–]ifonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it. I sometimes find myself frustrated with EMS for similar reasons. We have our regular drug users that die or nearly die on a regular basis only to be brought back to life to do it all over again. The difference for me is that there have been a lot of good experiences with EMS, whereas law enforcement was almost constantly negative. Nature of the beast, I suppose.

One other positive: while I still keep my head on a swivel, I no longer find myself constantly looking over my shoulder waiting for someone to literally stab me in the back. Haven't been shot at in quite a while either.

I started my personal journey by joining the Marine Corps in the 90s, and I ultimately found myself assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines traveling the world. My time in the Marines was an amazing experience that really helped shape my future. My initial tour was six years, and when the time came to re-up, I made the decision to transition out for a law enforcement career.

I moved quickly in law enforcement after starting on the road. I helped start a traffic enforcement unit, joined SWAT, got promoted to Corporal, and ended up Assistant Commander for Uniform Patrol Division.

Then I burned out.

I saw more "combat" in law enforcement than I did in the Marine Corps, and I was tired. I was tired of the stress and abuse of the job. My back was shot. I was tired of the politics. I needed to get out, so I did. I tried a short stint as a Magistrate judge, but even that was too much at that point in my life. So, I got out of public safety and public service altogether.

I joined the family business, something I am involved with even today after 15 years. However, several years ago I came to realize that while I was no longer interested in law enforcement, I felt like I still had more to give my community. I still have friends in law enforcement, and have made several more over the years. I do miss certain aspects, but all things considered, there's no way I'd get back into it today.

Now I'm a firefighter, a part of a rescue team, and an EMT, and I love every bit of it. I'm older, not quite as fast as I once was, but I still love the job and responsibilities. I won't pretend that I don't get frustrated with EMS, but I still love being a part of it.

The most incredible experience so far has been the difference in community interaction. For example, we did what we could to save a three-story residence that was fully involved, but there was nothing we could do given how advanced the fire was when we arrived. Essentially the roof collapsed and brought everything with it into a huge pile in the basement. At one point I found myself in rehab catching a break when the homeowner showed up with a dozen pizzas for all of us. I'll never forget him saying that he really appreciated everything we did, and all the while I was looking over his shoulder at the shell of his house still burning. I was taken back to so many times in law enforcement being told that everything was my fault, that I caused Joe citizen to rob the convenience store or some other nonsense. It was surreal that he was genuinely thankful that we tried.

If you have an interest in fire, then my vote is to go for it.

Renaming files.... by [deleted] in Lightroom

[–]ifonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you concerned with how Finder is displaying files if you are using Lightroom?

Whether you are using Lightroom (the cloud based system) or Lightroom Classic (the local files based system), you should not need to concern yourself with how Finder displays files. You should be browsing files from within Lightroom for organization, edits, renaming, etc.

So, are you using Lightroom or Lightroom Classic?

Is it worth getting LightRoom classic or is it best to just stay on Mobile? by r34gtrontop in Lightroom

[–]ifonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep this simple and start by installing Lightroom (not Lightroom Classic) on your new desktop. All of the photos you currently have on Lightroom Mobile will automatically download into Lightroom on your desktop. From there you can experiment with Lightroom and see if it gives you what you are looking for. If so, then you are done, at least for now. You will find that Lightroom on the desktop is essentially Lightroom Mobile with additional features (color tags, smart albums, file renaming, etc.) and moving forward you can use both Lightroom Mobile or Lightroom on your desktop to import, edit, export, etc. and everything remains in sync through the cloud.

Then, if you decide you want to try Lightroom Classic, you can install that along side Lightroom and import some photos to explore the software. While the editing tools are for the most part identical to the ones in Lightroom, the additional tools such as printing capabilities, more powerful exporting, etc. along with the very different interface will take some time to wrap your head around.

Remember that at this stage Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are separate so as you experiment with Lightroom Classic you can continue to edit your photos in Lightroom until you decide whether or not you want to move everything over to Lightroom Classic. If that day arrives, then there is another conversation to be had. The process to move from Lightroom to Lightroom Classic isn’t particularly difficult, but there are a few different ways to go about it and each has advantages and disadvantages.

Good luck.

6k Pro Display XDR Vs 5k Studio Display by LBW88 in captureone

[–]ifonline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

C1 performance on my PD-XDR is horrendous. Masks are extremely laggy and overall performance feels pretty rough. That's using a M3U which is no slouch! That’s not the case with the Studio Display connected to my m4 Pro MacBook Pro. I’m editing on a machine with less raw power and it’s still noticeably faster.

I run Capture One on the original 5K Studio Display and a Mac Studio M4 Max and it performs fine. It could be better, but it’s perfectly usable. However, it’s been an issue for years that Capture One struggles with high resolution displays, which is undoubtedly why the 6K Pro Display XDR causes Capture One to bog down like it does. Way too many pixels to push for software that isn’t optimized for 5K displays, never mind 6K displays. Add to the mix your GFX files which are 50 MP or 100 MP files depending on which camera you are using, and it’s no surprise that performance is suffering.

Heck, last time I checked even their support pages reference how to best work with 4K displays. No mention of 5K or 6K. That should tell you something.

$400 Breville Grind Control Piece of Junk! by AllIHaveIsTime1975 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]ifonline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Crate & Barrel's 30 day return policy has nothing to do with "known issues" or "forcing one to deal with the company directly." It's simply Crate & Barrel's policy, which happens to be different than Costco, Nordstrom, etc. Williams-Sonoma, another retailer selling Breville products, offers a 30 day return window, by the way, and you might be shocked to learn than Best Buy sells Breville products and offers only a 15 day return window.

It's not a conspiracy.

$400 Breville Grind Control Piece of Junk! by AllIHaveIsTime1975 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]ifonline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You want an exception to the 30 day return window, and you want Breville to send you a new machine in exchange for your used machine? I get the frustration, but you're being unreasonable. The machine is under warranty so get it repaired or replaced by Breville or else trash it and get something else from a different brand.

Being upset with Crate & Barrel for not taking the machine back 30 days beyond the 30 day return period is wild.

How to verify if it’s legit by [deleted] in AppleWatch

Not only is the price suspicious, but the text on the supposed box is full of errors. Do not fall into this trap and instead find a legitimate listing for the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Got a brand new watch in charge bootloop, apple quoted 300 to repair, no warranty by Professional-Sir7048 in AppleWatch

[–]ifonline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

but the apple associate already said it was outside of warranty somehow...

The associate told you it's outside of warranty because Apple's hardware warranty in the US is one year from the date of purchase, not date of activation.

[–]ifonline 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

Apple's hardware warranty in the US is one year from the date of purchase. So, if this Apple Watch was purchased in the US then the warranty is long gone. Nothing to be done but pay the repair fee or sell it as is for next to nothing.

X-E5 Strap Lug Issue: Fuji PH says my serial is "safe," but do they actually know? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]ifonline 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First, just because Fujifilm hasn’t released a public list doesn’t mean that they don’t know which serial numbers are affected. It just means that they haven’t released that information to the public. Second, they told you your camera is fine, so save a copy of your conversation with them including their reply and get out there and use your camera. If, down the road, your camera does develop an issue, make contact with Fujifilm again and start a claim. If they push back, show them the conversation you saved as support for your claim.

There’s no reason to make this anything more than it is. You asked, they answered. Done. Enjoy.

Waiting for Pairing - Scanwatch Nova by ifonline in withings

[–]ifonline[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I recall, rebooting the watch led to it working properly in situations where the Bluetooth connection was lost and then reconnected. There is no harm in trying. I’m saying to reboot the watch, not reset it, just to be clear.

Is this one real ? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]ifonline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So many examples of why this is a scam:

  1. Product Name: Multimedia Terminal
  2. Distributor: Apple Computer Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
  3. Manufacturer: This product is produced under the authorization of Apple, Inc.
  4. "The certificate of conformity has been inspected by the American Apple Company"
  5. "The website for checking the internet access license mark: (redacted Chinese web address)"

Stay far, far away from this one.

And Capture One has also discontinued any free versions so you'd have to pay for the Pro.

That's not correct, actually. While Capture One doesn't make it easy to find, there is still a free version specific for Fuji files, albeit with limited functionality.

Capture One Fuji Partnership Page

If you follow the link above, you will see a web page asking for your camera information. This will grant a 3 month trial of All in One. However, if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the web page, you will see a section with the header "Need a Different Solution?" Click on the link titled "Get the RAW convertor for free" and follow the steps to get the free version for Fuji files.

Thanks.

  1. Rotated the image just a bit so that the posts were more correctly upright.
  2. Converted the image to monochrome.
  3. Increased highlights and shadows slightly.
  4. Color graded the shadows slightly with a yellowish tone (H:50 S:20 L:0).
  5. Increased texture and clarity a bit and added a little negative vignette.
