Do I need to remove my UV filter when I want to use the polarizing filter or can they be used together?

Could be, but it's very likely all or mostly about Adobe's bottom line. Is the company willing to give up PSE and its customer base--as well as the photographers that use only some very specific parts of PS or CC--by adding some missing capabilities, such as working with layers, to LR. Maybe, but I don't think I'm feeling it. :)
Would you choose which child to keep and which one to let go? Adobe probably feels the same even if they were to ignore the sales. There will always be a market for the "full PS" package by creative artists worldwide as well as a market for the less complicated versions for us hobbyists. It's great to have a choice. 8-)

[quote=zincgt]Microsoft site has free RAW viewer for Explorer. Views RAW files and keeps them in own folder. You can then convert to TIFF, or .jpg and compare difference in same folder view.[/quote
Can you provide the link? Thanks, Bob

Buy Kelby's book on Lightroom and study your options. There should be no need to produce a TIFF of each image, as LR will always keep your original RAW file untouched. You only designate either TIFF or jpeg as a file when exporting a image, along with size, # of pixels, etc. The book explains all the choices clearly, and why to make each of them.
Just to be sure I understand, when you say "as LR will always keep your original RAW file untouched" you really mean the DNG, correct? As far as I know, the original RAW files are deleted when I return the SD card to my camera and format it. Is it possible for Lightroom to "spit out" the DNG copies that were imported as the original RAW? That would be good to know just in case. Thanks, Bob

My vote is for Lightroom 5, hands down. There is a learning curve but not quite as steep as Photo Shop Elements 12 (I have both). There are some things that Lightroom 5 cannot do (if not there would be no market for Adobe's other product PSE 12) but Lightroom 5 can handle MOST of what you want to do. And if you can only have one, have LIghtroom 5. Everyone has their favorites for post processing, but that's my 2ยข worth. Thanks, Bob

I leave mine on as long as it doesn't show in the photo . I had a couple of occasions where I had to take it off even outside because the corners showed when I took a photo for some reason . But that only has happened 2 or 3 times over the yrs. Tommy
I had this identical problem and took my camera back to the store where I purchased it. I left it with them because they couldn't get it to fail. They kept taking lots of sample shots and finally arrived at the answer by screwing the lens hood on just a little crooked. Voila-they were able to reproduce the problem exactly! From then on, I just make sure everything is lined up correctly as I screw on the lens hood and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps. Thanks, Bob

My camera shop recommended the Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS and I love it. I bought it to shoot on my new Nikon D5200 with great results. When the suggestion was made it was because Sigma was lighter and cheaper than the equivalent Nikon lens. See more detail at:
http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/18-250mm-f35-63-dc-os-macro-hsm
Looks like it has just been reduced by $200. MSRP: $800.00,
Price: $549.00*(I paid a year or so ago), New Price: $349.00 (shown on the website with a $200 rebate-authorized dealers may vary).

The great responses I have received from you are spot-on and greatly appreciated. Once again I find that I have been searching for something that does not exist. Okay now, which way to the Fountain of Youth? :lol: :thumbup:

I purchased this book on the recommendation of many of you on UHH, but I need help understanding the chapter on Storytelling Apertures. Here is the paragraph I can't wrap my mind around:
"But what we do have are distance settings. The distance settings are similar to the depth-of-field scale in that they allow you to preset the depth of field before you take your shot. And since every storytelling composition relies on the maximum depth of field, you would first choose to set you aperture to f/22 and then align the distance above your distance-setting mark on the lens. Your focal length will determine which distance you choose."
Huh? I got as far as setting my aperture at f/22 and then stalled. What is Brian talking about? Attached is a picture from the top of my camera (Nikon D5200 w/ Sigma 18-250mm 1:3.5-6.3). Is Brian talking about that white dot way at the front of the lens? Or is he talking about one of the two notches on the barrel further back. Also, should I be in Manual or Aperture mode?
I want to do the exercises so I learn the lessons, but I need help understanding the instructions. Thanks, Bob
