That is excellent - and useful. I am forever searing for menu items I know are there but difficult to find. I am going to do the same thing with the Affinity Menus - these, in my opinion, are laid out far more illogically than Photoshop's.

Thank you for a great contribution.

I will try not to drop it at the first hurdle.

I did understand the intent, but I did not know if the sport was Basketball, American Football or Baseball. I have not heard of the players either.
For cricket information - Graham Thirkill (UHH member) is your man.

Upto just a few months ago, my interest in art was minimal at best. Between you and Kenievans I have developed an interest in PhotoArt and whilst I don't pretend to understand much of the final image, I have a good idea of the processes involved.

I can sit looking at a Constable for hours on end, whilst passing on Picasso. The Mask of Dreams is one of those that may keep me occupied for quite a while - its brilliant, its terrifying. This is the stuff that nightmares are made of.

I knew this was going to be difficult, I did not know that a knowledge of vintage sporting records was also a requirement.


Thanks to all for the welcome, T'is the helmsman who steers the ship, but t'is the crew who keep the ship underway.

I am British, so I have no idea what this means: "Think of it as playing center field for the Yankees after DiMaggio retired. That would make you Mickey Mantle."

I do understand the sentiment with which I totally agree.

Linda-from-Maine has left the stage after a period in which this section has gone from strength to strength. I was asked if I would stand in her place and readily agreed. It will be a very hard act to follow. Subscriber numbers have gone up and up during Linda's time here; subject matter has largely diversified but remained within the constraints of post processing, and as well as a core of knowledgeable - talented - members, there is a steady influx of Hoggers either just looking, seeking help or finding a new "home". Some of the visitors are themselves expert in image manipulation. Altogether a formidable knowledge and skill base.

A quote from one of Linda's final posts '. . . as well as how much is simply snapshot sharing. Only a tiny percent of active users here are interested in thoughtful discussion or teaching'

I have read on this section some of the discussions added to examples of PP work, can we have some please?

My motto is "share the knowledge" so whilst caretaking the section I will do my best to join in the sharing. (My not so secret hope is that Linda will rest and the UHH addiction will set in and once again she will be running this section).

Why not post a message on the page asking if the originals are his or free of copyright?

No conflict.

A good antivirus and Malwarebytes.

Set Affinity up as an external editor to Lightroom and everything works as it should.

Affinity is a good substitute for Photoshop, is limited in some of the more obscure areas and actually better than PS in other areas. AP is available on a free trial basis so nothing to lose.

Images can be exported as Jpeg, Tiff and PSD (as well as several other formats including its own "afphoto" but that one can't be opened in Lightroom).

Don't forget to use the rear dial to focus when in manual focus mode (pp 75 of user manual). Also read page 76 for precise focussing (focus peeking).

I found a free manual at http://en2.leica-camera.com/assets/file/download.php?filename=file_5220.pdf

It would be pointless to post anything other than a raw file when the question is "What is better, raw or jpeg?"

Orf files open in Lightroom and probably dozens of other programs.

For me, the raw is better. Even though these two photos were taken at different times so the light may have changed, the jpeg sky has a greenish tone and little detail. The raw file has a better and bluer sky and contains a lot more detail in the clouds (after a little help in Lightroom).

The bright blue car on the right side of the road has a true colour in the raw and the car in the foreground has better definition around the rear nearside window.

Very little if any, difference in the shades of green and brick.

I would usually choose raw just for the ease of editing.

Many repeats on TV, now the Hog is catching up with same day repeats.
