Do you have any friends near that store who would be willing to go in and get it, then ship to you?

MyAirBridge.com allows up to 10GB free, Filemail.com allows up to 50GB - pretty much as many RAW files as you'd like. :)

I use a Mac and I was frustrated beyond belief trying to use Photos to make slide shows. One would have thought it should have been easy with a software called 'Photos', but I digress. I called Apple, and believe it or not, they said the best way to do it is with iMovie. I tried it and found it not only very easy, but the results were great, it was easy to add music, etc. It has been a while since I used it, but you can Google how to do it with iMovie. If you have a Mac, it's also free.

Hey - if you have Photoshop, it is simple matter to duplicate the layer, then blur the background layer, (you can choose the degree of blur) then use the eraser tool to 'paint out' whatever parts of the background/foreground you want to be blurry on the copy. I usually use a soft edge on the eraser (50%) and then try to mimic the correct depth of field for the lens you want to mimic. I'll often keep the leaves/whatever that would technically be in focus (near their feet, for example) in focus and then softly blur the rest. Once you have the look you want, just merge the layers and voila! Nice soft background. Good luck.

I have used Dropbox for years, but frankly, I hate it. It's confusing, the customer service is nonexistent (which they probably wouldn't need if it weren't so confusing), and I only use it when I HAVE to. (for other clients who use it).

I send large photo and video files all the time, and the easiest way is to use one of two web sites that you upload to and your contact downloads from. The first is www.WeTransfer.com - this site will allow you to send up to 2GB worth of files - either zipped or just drag them to the icon. It is completely free (unless you want to send more than 2GB). I've never been spammed by this site or had any problems. (after many years).

The second site is called www.MyAirBridge.com - this site will allow you to send up to 10GB for free. Again - they are a great site and I've never had any problems. (AirBridge is a little more confusing as you can either email or send a link, but they both get the files there).

You upload and include your email and your recipient's email. They send your recipient an email with a link that they can then download (w/in 3-7 days). It's that simple. And did I say FREE?

Hello Gang - I am new to the group. I am a Mac person, and always loved Aperture and iPhoto - both programs are excellent, easy-to-use and allowed me to organize my photos better than anything else. THEN, Apple unceremoniously dumped them - as you all know, in favor of consolidating their features into PHOTOS. I tried photos, I really did. I imported pics into it, but found it entirely different - in a bad way. I hated it. The facial recognition was clunky and didn't really work, the clean, dark backgrounds were changed to white, I could no longer easily sort and organize my photos. And I didn't even get to the ability to print calendars and books - which was a feature I used a lot.

I didn't want to keep milking my Aperture library until Apple finally made it unusable (which they did with Catalina), so I just stopped using it. I tried Photos again a year or two later, since it was free, but it still felt like they ditched all the good features just so the software could work with both desktops and phones. So I started looking for alternatives. I don't want to be sucked into Adobe's world of perpetual subscriptions (even though I use Photoshop regularly - I am still on PS6), but I still want something that provides me with at least all the features I got used to with either Aperture or iPhoto. I need a good DAM program. (I Luminar and like it all right - but still prefer Photoshop) tried Corel Aftershot Pro, (didn't feel right) I am watching ON-1 and Affinity, which seem to be best for DAM and editing, respectively.

But a recent posting about PHOTOS made me write this long question. Some of you indicate that you like it as much as Aperture or iPhoto, and that it does all of what they did and more. Am I thinking about the same program? Because all my experience with it was the opposite. Things like the Lupe. (I can find no way to even zoom into a pic, let along have the control the Lupe allowed) or changing the way the layout looks, or split images. I had imported an iPhoto library and tried finding photos, using the equivalent of 'Faces', but everything was clunky, not intuitive like the other two softwares, and laid out more poorly. Every task I was used to doing was taking me forever to figure out until I finally gave up. And I really miss making those great Apple calendars for my family! SO - for those of you who love PHOTOS, can you tell me what I am missing? If it's all that - why am I at a loss whenever I've tried to use it? An Apple tech told me I'd like it once I got use to it, but the learning curve felt too steep for me to keep trying.
