My Samsung Note8 is finally giving up the ghost. The charging connector doesn't work (yes, I've cleaned it) and the battery life is getting intolerable.

I quit Apple when they refused to repair my iPhone6 Plus that developed iPhone touch disease (a bad batch of system boards) because I had the battery replaced at uBreakIFix. I swore I'd never go back, but because my whole family carries iPhones I'm left out of sharing family stuff easily.

I want the best camera possible for photos and video and I'm trying to decide between the iPhone 13 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Any opinions?

Setting up this link in Feb 2022 likely can't be done. All the major email systems changed how remote software can initiate emails. This was done as an anti-spam approach. Even if it could be done with the current LR subscription software, there's no way to update the programming of unsupported LR6.

Your best approach is the following:

1) Determine the best export parameters. The link below supports the idea of 2048-pixels on the long side with 90% JPEG quality. The post includes a sample screen-print of LR Export.

2) Create a generic output folder for your 'to email' export images.

3) Test your LR Export and when satisfied, save as a LR User Export.

4) Export your images to the generic folder, draft your email in the email client, drag n drop the images from the export folder. After sending your email, delete the export images or the entire generic folder. The LR export will dynamically recreate the folder for the next export.

I have a 2019 macbook pro running Big Sir. The hard drive is now about 3/4 full and I need to transfer the Apple Photo Library to an external Hard Drive. I purchased a 2T SSD figuring that it would be much faster loading that a standard Hard Drive. I tried "export" the full file but it transferred the photos in Postage Stamp size data. I looked on Google but "drag and drop" didn't work at all. How can I move the whole Photo Library at once ?? Thanks. If all else fails, I'll make an appointment with the Geeks at the apple store.

You may have looked, but you didn't know where to look. Where to look is more important that just having looked. Truth be told, it's not hard at all to find. Either from Adobe itself, or from a third party retailer.

The price hasn't changed, the lowest cost subscription remains $9.99/month. The higher cost 'PS only' options includes 100GB of cloud storage, where the $9.99 option covers PS, LR classic, mobile versions of each along with the desktop versions, and 20GB cloud storage. You don't 'need' any cloud storage except to share images in a 'work area' between your mobile devices and your 'main' desktop software.

The standalone software is 4+ years unsupported. Those old titles can be (re)installed and used only by owners that have the serial numbers in their Adobe.com profiles as the 'original' owners. I'm sure many unreputable online sellers will take your money, but they have no way (nor you) to get the serial number into your profile on Adobe.com for the software to verify.

I am interested in a good street/travel camera. I have had 3 medium weight Sony “a” cameras but I have been disappointed with all. For a small camera there are multiple possibilities, but size, weight and good quality are my main requirements. Unfortunately, full frame and a large sensor just add both size and weight, so a limited zoom and a smaller sensor become the only real option.

One of the cameras I have been considering is the Leica D-Lux 7. From what I understand it still has the Leica look and the lens is acceptable. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to get my hands on one, so I am limited to reviews which I never really trust.

Do any of you have this camera? Does it give you the Leica Look (face tone and greens)? Does it feel good in your hands?

Despite knowing better, I bought a used Olympus "P" series compact camera that accepts the same 4/3 lenses as my Oly SLR styled camera. I went out on a bright October day and could not see a thing on the big back screen. Fortunately, this was and older model that did not have the shooting options on a touch screen, but on a physical wheel.

Indoors, it is a delight.

Outdoors, I'm better off with my little Powershot A1200 and A1600 with real optical viewfinders.

How did the industry convince users that EVFs or optical finders were no longer needed?
