Z7 II manual half the size of the Z7 I, so basic it even skips the usual 1st section showing all the parts of the camera. Have to use online digital to find out anything more.

Wait for 6 months or so and Thomas Hogan will have a user guide that will probably be over 1000 pages. More info on the Z7II than you could want.

Luminar AI download problems

Skylum has you sign in to verify your purchase. Did you get a 100 digit activation code (like virtually every other program you install) from Skylum to activate Luminar? NO. Signing in is Skylum's method of activating Luminar.

* * Is Skylum Luminar AI Ready for "Prime Time?"

[quote=goldstar46]Skylum Luminar AI... Not Working

Well... For those of you who have either bought Luminar AI, considering it.. or Just wondering... I am still having problems with my Luminar AI and Not much help from Tech Support

I download the software back on Dec 8th, and have had No 'Operational function' with the Main Manu:

Contacted their Tech Support on Dec 9th via email.. I am starting to get "P.O.'ed" @ Skylum & Tech Support...

I have requested 'help' via their support email service... I have gotten two responses from them and in EACH case, it has taken either 44 hours or 43.5 hours for them to 'write back to me'

I started my 'Request' on Dec 9, and now, on Dec 13, I still have NO Answers ???

NO... They have Not Solved my problem yet
YES... They can NOT find the 'stuff' you send to them via Dropbox
NO... They DON'T have a Ph# for Tech Support...

All of the above boils down to their 'Tech Support' SUCKS

I have just sent them a 'third' email and will probably have to wait another 44 hours before I hear from them again ???

This is NO way to run a 'Major Software Company' and I am about to ask for my money back........

PS: YES... I have downloaded two additional updates and NO Fix yet... The Entire 'Main Menu' does NOT work for me in Windows 10...

I have also been monitoring their "Luminar and Skylum Issuse" Facebook page and I have notice many, many similar complaints and a lot of very unhappy people

I believe it is time for Skylum to come out with a public announcement admitting their software is NOT ready for 'Prime Time' publication, that it is still 'in Beta' format, and they should beg for the publics understanding....

AND, of course, there will be those where the software does work, and I do understand that is "OK"

Cheers
GeoVz

####[/

Since the software was not to be released until 12-15-20, you may have downloaded a beta version. I preordered and just received the okay to download. So for I have had no issues

D850 firmware and CFExpress "upgrade"

riderz49 wrote:

Nikon just released a firmware update for the D850 that enables the use of CFExpress cards, which are faster than the identically formatted XQD cards.

Is there any substantial reason to install the update?

Any reason to "upgrade" to CFExpress?

You will not get any speed increase with the use of a CF Express card in your D850. It's a limitation of the camera not the card.

D500 firmware update

larryepage wrote:

CFExpress, not CF (Compact Flash). It was an error since corrected. These cards are faster (and right now even more expensive) than XQD cards. But it is an open standard, whereas XQD is a proprietary design. Cards may be easier to find, although I've never had a problem in my area.

This is a quote from Thom Hogan, so don't expect any great speed boosts:

"don't expect speed increases, as the card slot mechanisms in these cameras has a fixed upper limit that dates to early XQD. Some D500 owners need to perform the update twice (pay attention to the instructions on Nikon's download page).

Finally, note that Nikon so far has only said the following cards are compatible: Sony G Series, Lexar CFe Pro, ProGrade Gold, and SanDisk Extreme Pro with ANCNN suffix in part number (in US; different in other regions). The "approved memory card" pages on most subsidiaries has not been updated for these models yet."

Anyone Else Getting NIK Software Warnings?

photoman022 wrote:

I downloaded Nik Software when Google offered it for free. I've used that version for a lot of years now. This week I received notice (when using Nik in conjunction with Photoshop Elements) that I have a two week trial version that is set to expire in (now) 11 days. Has anyone else received similar messages?

I'm wondering how they know that I'm using Nik because Google did not have me register it way back when.

Just opening NIK in photoshop may send information to either Adobe and/or DxO that you are using the program.

Nikon D 850 question

Hope this is as a straight foward question as I would like it to be. For owners of the D 850 after using the D 850 would you buy again after your experience with it?

Absolutely

Ways to move pictures from iPhone to a storage medium

Wondering how to move my photos to another storage medium from my iPhone.
Please make it as easy as possible for me.
Thanks in advance

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. As with all the iPhones I have had, all I do is plug the iPhone into the computer Using the cord that came with the iPhone. A window opens up on my computer asking me what i would like to do. One of the options is to open the file location to view the files. I click on that and windows explorer open to the iPhone folder. All your photos will be located in subfolders. You can then copy them to where you want them to be saved. Very easy.

It has nothing to do with your computer or the software that you are using. It has everything to do with the file size limitations that your internet provider places on their system. Generally if you want to send large files they have to be "zipped".
