My monitor has an SD card slot and it always takes a letter even if nothing is inserted. So I assigned it to "Z" and it stays out of my way until needed. Once assigned in Hard Drive Manager they seem to stick to the letters given. My external backup hard drives always show up with their assigned letters. Any newly mounted drive will take the first available letter but once you assign it a letter it will stick unless some other device has been given that letter while the other drive is removed.

So if you want to have the letters "stick" assign end of alphabet letters to drives that you always want to have the same letter and keep E,F,G and H for temporary devices like thumb drives.

No, it is probably not your problem that you are illiterate.

il·lit·er·ate
/i(l)ˈlidərət/
1. unable to read or write.

But your problem seems to be lack of comprehension.

com·pre·hen·sion
/ˌkämprəˈhen(t)SH(ə)n/

1. the action or capability of understanding something.

We use the same definition. We just disagree whether these sentiments fit that definition.

Isn't objectifying women and the insinuation in the statement "I'm going to get right behind her..." misogynistic?

Not that "I might give her a kick in the A** with a cleated boot!" isn't also misogynistic.

I believe the default sharpening in the current Lightroom is now +40.

Just so we all know -- children of all ages can visit the "adult" sections of UHH without logging in. The ALL CAPS statement: ALL PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ARE DENIED ACCESS TO THIS WEBSITE. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR YOU TO VISIT, READ, OR INTERACT WITH THIS WEBSITE OR ITS CONTENTS IN ANY MANNER. THIS WEBSITE SPECIFICALLY DENIES ACCESS TO ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS COVERED BY THE CHILD ONLINE PRIVACY ACT (COPA) OF 1998.
is just Boilerplate legalese designed to cover UHH when children DO visit the site.

As always, it is the parents' responsibility to "police" their children.

Might as well read what actually worked for someone else.

It will go on periodic sale just like the older edition. One is supposed to replace it every few years as the colors may change due to bright light exposure. If your current one is older than a few years old just watch for it to go on sale. (And don't leave it exposed to bright sunlight when not using it.)

My guess is that one of the gray patches on the colored swatches will work just as well for White Balance - it will just be a smaller sized patch. One of the group of gray patches is "true" gray and the others are for "warming" or "cooling" skin tones.

And B&H gives a 4% B&H "Reward" to be used on your next purchase at B&H. Always check B&H (and Adorama). They both will likely match other Authorized Vendors' prices - as may your local camera store.

Thank you for the info. It is nice to be able to do some video editing with the tools I already pay for.

One can also do some video edition in Lightroom - even more rudimentary than PS. Extract a still image in Lightroom from your video - edit the still with the adjustments you would make for the video in the Develop Module. Right click on the still image and Copy settings... - choose the settings you want to copy to the video and copy.

Then move to the Library Module (as the Develop Module will tell you it does not support video). Choose your video and right click on it and choose Paste settings.... This will apply the settings you have copied from the still to the video. You then need to export the video from the Library Module to apply the setting to a finished (new) video.

No where near as feature rich as the Photoshop method. I read of this technique in Lightroom here at UHH a while back from another user.

This will search on uglyhedgehog dot com for DSLR vs mirrorless.The uglyhedgehog search at the top of this page only looks at the post titles.

Go to the manufacturer of the card's website and see if they have a link to their / or their recommended recovery software.

Or Google "free sd card recovery software" - there are a few out there.

Good luck.

These are stuck pixels. Try taking a short duration image with the cap on and then one 15 seconds long with the cap on and you will probably notice more or brighter ones in the longer exposures. Lightroom automatically removes them from the Preview and the Developed images.
