Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll check him out.
I second Hudson Henry. He has a 4 part series on setting up the Z9/Z8. The first one is long, as he hits every menu item, but the next one is fairly short as your base bank settings are baked in.

It's not your PC. Plenty of space and speed. Working from latest version of LR? How big are your camera files?

I’m an amateur shooting high school hockey on a Z8 with a Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 GII lens.
I shoot shutter priority setting my shutter speed at 1250 and iso on auto as high as 5000.
When i edit my pictures the lighting varies and in LR it shows my F stop will vary from 3 to 7.4. How can I stop the F stop from fluctuating ?

It's HS hockey. In some of those barns you're lucky you can even see the players
I try to shoot a lot of sports. The light is always different and usually sub-standard until you reach college level of play. Be glad you are indoors and fairly constant source.
Manual SS, Aperture, and Auto-ISO is the most pain-free way to shoot. Don't be scared of a high ISO. The Z8 will produce acceptable images up to about. 10-12,000. You might have to "wash" a few with Denoise in LR.

You don't mention HD or PC specs. Besides rolling back, have you considered adding more storage and/or RAM?
I have found that sudden new crashes are often caused by lack of adequate workspace or RAM or video card size as file sizes grow. Are you on LRC subscription or running an old 6.0 version?

If you are a sponsor how about co-ed boxing in the Olympiad? Perfect way to eliminate discrimination in sports is to include everyone.
My agency was a sponsor of this event, not the Olympics. But my first photo is of two women boxers, that winner and 7 others qualified in their bouts for the Olympic team training in Colorado Springs and to fight at the Olympics in Paris, France in July. So I'm not sure what your beef is?

Last week my city hosted the USA Olympic Trials for boxing. As a sponsor, I was able to wrangle a VIP credential and take some photos ringside.

I just saw my first commercial for Photoshop ever. It featured someone using the AI generation feature to amuse a child. I think the commercial is somewhat of a head-scratcher. Who is the intended market? Is it people who have never heard of Photoshop? Cell phone shooters?

Kind of the ongoing theme of this thread. Time to let him go and face the inevitable alone.

Destructive or non-destructive has no bearing on this workflow. That is not the issue even though you keep putting that up as a defense to your reasoning. Driving a Maserati at 95 mph down a residential street with no seat belt is non-destructive.... until it is. You might get away with it for a while, but eventually only bad things can happen.

Sorry, here's my answer....this powerful DxO program can open/read/edit the files on the BEFORE import. You can cull and edit original files and create a new file ON THE CARD that can be imported to any program of your choice for further editing if you choose to do so. I find this editor more helpful than opening and importing unedited card files straight into Lightroom and then editing with that program. I hope this is clear?
All you are doing is taking three lefts to make a right. You can import from card and edit everything all at once, or you can edit on card, then import, then edit some more.
But you wind up in the same place. The difference is you expose yourself to corrupting the card or making a save or delete mistake during edits and losing all the images. By the way, you can do this workflow method with almost any editing software. Just let it recognize the card in camera as another drive. Same as a portable external SSD drive.

In October Lightroom (the cloudy one) got a "Local" tab. I ignored it. Now, for two days, I've been watching and learning about it.
The "Local" tab makes everything useful in Classic's Develop module available without dealing with a importing or a catalog. The local tab navigates to any file in any folder and allows you to work on it, quickly and simply.
Have you tried it?

Matt Kloslowski is pitching a course on it and jumping his workflow to LR. I had never downloaded it beforr, but it seems promising. Wonder why no fanfare from Adobe?

I sat next to a pro sports shooter, having him flip through 2-300 images on his iPad. He had LR and Photo Mechanic installed and months of work on the iPad. He was able to cull quickly and mark those that he wanted to edit further. Sure seemed a lot easier than carrying around a laptop. Although in the media room, there were MacBook Air and Pro at several workstations. But I'm seriously considering a higher-storage Ipad for vacation trips.
