A fellow truck driver friend of was hit by a train years ago. The rail crossing had no gates. Only flashing lights. It was also on a blind curve. That time of day, the sun hit the flashing lights at an angle that rendered the light unseeable ( I don't think that's a word. ??). He assumed it was clear instead of looking. At the time it was a conrail train. They were blue. I ask him how it felt when he suddenly saw the train before it hit him. All he said was, and I quote " It was the biggest, blue-est son of a bitch I've ever seen in my life.". Please excuse the french. It's what he said.

First, I’d like to thank all the folks who responded to my post a few months back about purchasing a factory refurbished lens. You were very helpful and I did purchase a factory refurbished Tokina lens which I love. So, thanks to all. My issue now is with ON1 Photo Raw 2021. I used the 2020 version for a year and outside of how slow it was it worked OK. The 2021 version has given me a number of problems. It is even slower for starters but the real issues are that the zoom, crop and advanced (the little blue slider) don’t work. More specifically, at times the zoom tool doesn’t work, so that when I zoom in on a photo everything is blurry. At times the photos are blurry even without using the zoom tool. At other times when I try to crop a photo the photo has already been cropped (pretty weird, I know). Other times when I crop a photo and press “apply” the crop doesn’t hold and the photo reverts back to the original. I also can’t advance the photos by sliding the blue small rectangle at the bottom of the screen. There may be other issues/problems that I haven’t discovered yet. I have contacted ON1 tech support and that was not very helpful. One of the things I did was bring in my laptop for an upgrade thinking this would solve the problem. The tech installed a 2 GB SSD, 16 RAM, cleaned everything out, backed up all my files and the problem remains. I’m open to thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. I switched to ON1 because I didn’t want to pay the Lightroom monthly fee for RAW photo editing capability, but now I’m wondering if I should, and if I could access the currently installed ON1 photos through Lightroom. Thank you in advance for your input. Much appreciated.
