Wow, you really are a great resource on your own. So many wonderful people to check out. Both visual and non-visual sources to choose from. I was wondering how much Matt Kloskowski charges and how do I contact him if I decide to go that route? Thanks again for all your help.
Thanks for the info. I really appreciate your help and advice.
Thanks, Tom. I appreciate the information and your quick response. Have a great weekend.
What is the best way to learn how to post process photos in Lightroom...book, online courses/downloads or something else? I really want to start processing my photos as soon as possible. Help!!!
Jerry,
Thanks for the link to the video tutorial. It looks pretty good but for some reason, I could not get the preview to play with any sound. Will try it later on my laptop. Probably not working on the Android system. It looks good but just not in the budget right now. Will hang onto it for later. Thanks.
CO,
Thanks for the response. It just seemed that adjusting one setting in the Custom settings menu would override the settings I made in the Shooting settings menu. I went through and put some of the settings David Busch recommends in his guidebook to the D5500 and I think I figured it out with a lot of help I received here and on Nikonians.Org. It seems once I pick a Shooting settings menu profile and make changes to it there and in the Custom settings menu, once I save the profile under another name, I can recall that preset profile to shoot with. At least that is the way, I am understanding it. Thanks again for responding.
Elliern,
Thanks, I have been receiving a lot of replies here and on Nikonians.Org. You seem to understand my question well and your reply seems pretty clear. It almost seems like setting up the Custom picture control settings are more trouble than they are worth especially since the settings don't carry over in your raw files unless you are using Nikon raw converter software. Thanks again very much.
Reinaldo,
What Darrell Young Nikon book did you mean? He has many versions. Thanks.
Reinaldo,
The reason I am so confused is the book by David Busch. I can't understand the settings in the Shooting settings menu and the Custom settings menu. They seem to conflict and I am not sure what controls taking a picture. Are custom settings only for creating an "automated" shooting mode. Not exactly an automatic mode but providing parameters in how a type of scene is shot, focus, metering, saturation,etc? Did you find the Darrell Young book easier to understand? Thanks. Sorry for all the questions but this has me so stumped.
Hi, I am a newbie here so I hope I am doing this correctly via forum guidelines. I am at a stumbling block with my D5500 and the differences between the Shooting settings menu and the Custom settings menu. I know that they change different categories of functions but not sure how they interact with each other. Do some settings get overridden by the shooting mode, ex. aperture priority, shutter priority, manual,etc? It seems that some settings in one menu conflict with other settings in the other menu. Thanks for any help you can provide a newbie to this technical concept.
It seems like more profit for Adobe to me. Change is bad. Change is evil. Shudder. I just get started learning the old and now the new is already here. LOL
Newbie here so be gentle guys. I am hoping to move beyond basic editing and asked my wife for a copy of Lightroom CC and a guide book for it as Christmas presents. It seemed at the time, Lightroom was the program to use according to how often I heard it positively mentioned. Now I am not so sure. Don't like the fact that you have to "resubscribe" each year in order to keep using the program from what I have heard. Maybe I should have just learned the free Corel Software Suite included with a lens I also received for Christmas.
