Still running Windows 7 - my goodness, Way back when Microsoft first came out with Windows 10, if you had Windows 7 the upgrade was FREE.
Windows 10 came out July 29, 2015. So why not get the FREE version back then.

Made all the difference for me. After years now, I still refer to them.
Dido on the Laura Shoe videos. I have her courses and like them very much. There is also a good book by Dave Kelly "Lightroom Classic CC Made Easy"

How do you keep your lens from fogging up?
I used a company called PrinterPix to get two metal prints. The first set came with scratches and blotches on them, totally useless. I sent them photos of the problems (as requested) and they sent me back two new prints. One of the second prints had a scratch, the other the edges were not fully printed. Now I have 2 sets unusable. And they did not mount any hanging system on the back. They send along some stick on blocks of wood that I would have had to put on myself. A very poor company. Did I mention I found them on a GROUPON ad. So much for a discount price. I then ordered the metal prints from Shutterfly. Got a good price with the 50% off coupon and a great job and already ready to hang.

Can AI Clear be used as my other Topaz products i. e. going to filter and choosing, or must it be used in Topaz Studio?
If you mean can AI Clear be used with your other Topaz products - In Topaz Studio - on the Left side all of the other Topaz products are there, with the exception of Topaz Black and White. It's still a separate program.
If you don't already have Topaz Studio, it is a free download.
Topaz Studio has the new AI Clear - it works really great. I had the DeNoize when it first came out and found it cumbersome to use. With AI Clear you bring up the photo, press the button and it does it all. The AI Clear Model can be set to Low, Medium or High. You can adjust the Opacity, and has sliders to adjust Exposure and Clarity. Topaz Studio is free, but you have to buy the AI Clear Adjustment. But if you get it with the bundle package you get a whole lot of other Adjustment tools.
It's not only the weight that is an issue. The size of a DSLR (Canon or Nikon) 100-400 lens compared to an equivalent mirrorless lens is significant in size and weight and cost. I had a Canon 5d MK III with a Canon 100-400 lens. When I went with my Olympus mirrorless system the equal lens was even less then half the size of the Canon, and yes a lot less in weight. It took two + camera bags for the camera and lenses I wanted on a shoot, now with my mirrorless system I've got everything in one bag. Telephoto, walk around, wide angle and macro all in one bag along with the camera, batteries, charger etc. Works for me.
I ran across this article on different post processing software programs. There have been a number of posts asking which one to get. Thought this might be helpful as it give a general description along with pros and cons. The FWIW department. I notice that it is not talking about the latest version of LR - Lightroom Classic. And they did not mention some other new post processing software's like ON 1 - Luminosity, Luminar, or Smart Photo Editor.

A question for the Lightroom Gurus.
I am using Lightroom 7.4 Classic. I shot a photo with my Olympus E-M1-Mark II using an Olympus M 12-40mm F2.8 lens.
When I go to the Lightroom Lens Correction Panel and attempt to apply some lens correction there is an (i) with a note at the bottom of the Profile box. It says Built in Lens Profile Applied. If I click on the (i) it brings up an Info box that gives me the name of the camera and lens used along with a note: This raw file contains a built-in lens profile for correcting distortion and chromatic aberration. The profile has already been applied automatically to this image.
I use to shoot with Canon equipment and the Lens Correction Panel would show the lens I was using and I could Enable Profile Corrections and Chromatic Aberration as needed. The Correction Panel would indicate which lens I used, etc.
So the question is this: With the Olympus lens and camera and the (i) note as stated above, do I really need to worry about checking the boxes in the Lens Correction Panel for the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" and " Enable Profile Corrections" or apply any other Lens Corrections? Looks like to me that Olympus has the "cat by the tail" and and has built this all into the metadata of each image. Or could it be that Lightroom just has not included any of the Olympus lenses in their lens profiles?
When I click on the two mentioned boxes the lens profile "Make" box indicates "Built-in" and none of the Olympus lenses listed if I expand the Lens Profile list.
