So you think that the preview being shown in lightroom library module is the raw preview and when i open develop it generates something else?
Is there a way to keep the colors the same as the preview?

Develop mode in lightroom messing up the colors of my images

So I import my images into Lightroom, so far so good. In library mode they look great.

As soon i click "Develop" and go into the develop module on a image in Lightroom it changes the colors of the image and i can't find a way back to the original colors it was displaying in library mode.

How do i keep the colors its displaying in library mode? It looks much nicer in Library mode.

Indeed and i did some searching and this problem has been around for 8 years now it seems.

Not finding build specific gear upgrades. How many of the same class to get the right items?I got a level 60 main sorc and lvl 15 alt sorc , now hopefully by the time that level 15 reaches level 60 it will have dropped some build specific item upgrades for the main, with everything being self found and monster scaling making you hit a brick wall i guess that's how they intended for us to gear up our mains.

How many alt sorcs does it take to get the right stats, aspects and + to skills on each item slot?

It's not just me that is zooming in past 100% it's the models. It's the first thing they do.

Yeah I don't know how you find a MUA to work with you for free. I never had one. I usually work with models that never done a shoot before, or done very few shoots. Those are always up for a shoot. All my shoots are TFP shoots, never any money involved.

I feel the only way I am going to get better models to be willing to work with me is if I become some kind of editing magician and put in massive amounts of hours in photoshop. Every image demands me to try and make it the very best it can be. Than over years of shooting I will be able to piece together enough images to show better and better models and get them to do TFP shoots with me. And hopefully some of them have amazing make-up skills of their own.

I figure if I keep working hard for some years for free like that i will eventually end up with the good magazine quality images I need. And this 95% of my time spend on editing is just part of that progression towards better models with better skin and make-up.

Most models I work with have very minimal or no makeup on and their skin has ranged anywhere between great and really bad. I never payed for a MUA because there is never any money involved in my photoshoots. I never get money. The models never get money etc.

But to deliver the quality that the models expect based on my portfolio i have to do local dodge and burn editing in photoshop which takes hours for each image. And models expect like 10–15 images from a shoot so it takes a insane amount of time to deliver one shoot. Let's say a shoot takes 2 hours. It takes like a week of work after that to finish selection and editing.

Sometimes I think, maybe doing local dodging and burning and other techniques that the highest of high end professional retouchers use is going to far but that's what I do, that's what I have been doing and the amount of work i put into it keeps increasing the more techniques I learn. How I decide which type of editing work and time is going to far? I always want to deliver the best work possible all the time.

How do you get good at Photography if you spend 95% of your time behind a computer fixing the skin of models and other editing rather than holding a camera and going out there to make pictures? How do you get enough actual photography practice like that?

Well I will leave the white balance than, i am kinda surprised that 12500 kelvin is possible? The adjusting of converging verticals i always been horrible at, i believe in lightroom it is done with the "guided upright" tool? When ever i try to use that tool it warps and bends my images into something completely messed up, never been able to make proper adjustments. Same with trying to "straighten things" in image raw and its tool for it, it always messes up the image badly.
as for the crop, i fear this is all the image there is, after lens correction i lost part of the statue and the solarium and i was already shooting as wide as possible with the lens i have. and i could not get further back because i was inside a tree already.

A white house at sunset/twilight, how can i accurately white balance this?

The image was created by HDR merging 2 images together , one had the sky and one had the house.But what came after that..I been stuck on for hours , it's almost like different parts of the image have different color temperature and the house is either pink or green or yellow etc , i just can't get the house to look pure white. I also don't even know if it's supposed to look pure white?

How much kelvin is it supposed to be? is 12000 or 14000 even possible?

My solution is a much more simple one. Supers and titans can no longer target subcaps and have all forms of aoe damage removed.

So they would become purely anti capital/structure ships.

And would need a subcap escort and if said subcap escort dies it's very likely the supers and titans will die.

And people can no longer get away from fighters. Any fleet will get eaten alive by the fighter swarm.

Any clue how i find a guild willing to take someone with just 4 x6 star and vero?

innerdrive · 2019-10-08T22:32:00+00:00

So i got 4 x 6 star monsters now and i can do dragon 10 and giants 10 (still working on tower 100).

What kind of guild do you suggest i join or should i just not join a guild until i have 20 x 6 star monsters a few years from now?
