Thanks Everyone for your input and advice on external drives and backup information. I'm going to read the websites that you gave me for info.

Thanks again.

Butterflies, flowers. jewelry. I have to be very close to the subject, which I don't like.

I need an external hard drive for my IMac computer to back up photos. I have heard that Western Digital is good. I need advice on what to buy. Which is reliable and long lasting?
How do I get just my photos to go to the backup drive and not all other info? Do I need more than one and what size?

Would it be better to have Lightroom 6 downloaded into my IMac computer or purchase a hard copy for $8 more?

Thanks

Thanks Bob, I really appreciate this information.

I have several editing apps on my Mac computer. I have OnOne, Elements 11, and Nikon x2. When I put in my SD card everything imports to the Nikon app. How do I get it to go to OnOne? Pls make it simple instructions. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for that information blackest. We may be returning it.

We have HP printer that we were told would print good photos. Never has. We calibrated the HP with no good results. Yes, we have new inks in the printer.

We just purchased an EpsonWF3620 to print out some photos from the camera. We also calibrated our Mac monitor with a new colormunki Smile by x.rite Pantone.
Px is that neither the old or new printer is printing out any decent photos. We used photo paper. In fact, the new printer photos were more grainy that the old printer's photos.

Does anyone have any advice. I'm very frustrated with not being able to print any good photos.

thanks, tsilva.

Bill's eyes attract me. The beards in both are great but Bill's beard is more outstanding.
I love your use of light. Both photos are wonderful and are subject to telling individual stories.
What camera, lens, and settings did you use?
Thanks for sharing.

I am not a professional photographer but very much enjoy making the best of my photos.
Question is: Which would be the best Lightroom to buy, the 5 or the 6. I have Elements 9 and 11, NX2, and OnOne Suite 8.5.
I do not want the Cloud combination at $9.95/month.
Is there an advantage of ordering a hard copy of LR?
Please advise.

AWESOME!!!!

Try the Panasonic zs50 with a good review and 30x zoom
Just sayin'...

Mark That's a Lumix zs50. Fairly new.

Thanks for reminding me that I need a viewfinder. Most pocket-sized cameras do not have one. After researching I found that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 has a VF and a great zoom of 30x. We enjoyed the zoom 20x on our old Panasonic. Tell me please, that by getting this camera with the 30x zoom, would I be sacrificing anything quaility-wise on this camera?

Thanks for everyone's input.
