The lobsters, not being the smartest of pets, should have been on leashes.

I hope your thumb gets better. Our form of "socialism" is quite crappy and not easy to understand. The hospital probably gets to write off the $4,664 as a "loss" AND the next person coming in the door with "deep pocketed" insurance gets to pay extra to make up the difference between what the hospital "wants" and what it can get. Those who have the need can blame Obama {until Trump "owns" the mess by throwing out the current system}.

We don't need Saudi oil any longer. For a couple of years before Obama and throughout his tenure we have slowly become self sufficient. {http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepatton/2016/04/20/u-s-dependence-on-foreign-oil-hits-30-year-low/#199017ac741f}. And remember the Keystone Pipeline? Its purpose was to get landlocked oil in Canada to port cities in the Gulf of Mexico for export and higher profits. Landlocked as it is, it is cheaper for the midwesterners as the t***sportation costs are lower and it is not in direct competition with foreign sources. The Saudi's have money, but no real oil power any longer. One of the main reasons to keep domestic production high is to diminish the potential $$$ resources of some of our "adversaries" (like Russia - a HUGE player in the oil export game). {The increase in production started before Obama but it did continue through his tenure.}

Check out https://www.antennaweb.org/Address for some sense of how many stations you may receive. If you live in a flat area and have line of site to the HDTV transmission tower you should get a signal. There are probably other sites that do the same check.

Oh, no, not the Saudi's. Who can we trust?!
Same story in the Daily Caller: http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/07/exclusive-saudi-cash-is-sending-veterans-on-luxury-trips-to-washington-to-oppose-911-law/
and a similar tale of Saudi lobbying: http://maplight.org/content/top-washington-lobbyist-slow-to-disclose-relationship-with-saudi-arabia.
Freedom & democracy (and freedom to spend on speech being equivalent to free speech) requires a different approach than "head in the sand". There are many organizations that are heavily funded by outside of the US entities that do not have our best interests in mind. {Sorry for the US centric comment. No, not really.}

I had a similar problem at Peet's coffee. #6 Melita filters are missing, just #4 and #2. I had the same solution, a hardware store across the street. So much easier and quicker than Amazon.

Maybe the same issue. Try opening the image in a Firefox or Chrome browser window. I think both are Color Management aware and so should closely match Lightroom.

My understanding was you were concerned with the color being different in different contexts, not on how to correct it in Lightroom. There was a small "trick" to using the x-Rite produced calibration instead of the original profile. One way to check if the x-Rite color calibration is installed is to fire up Photoshop and go Edit - Color Settings (click). In the resulting window you will see Working Spaces with "something" RGB picked. Lightroom by default uses PhotoRGB which retains the most information in raw files - but whether to change the default is .... But in this DropDown list of choices should be your named calibration profile that you created with the gadget. [Do not pick it - it should just be in the list.] Then hit Cancel to close the Color Manage window without making any changes. I do not know if is the same in Win10, but on Windows 7 finding the profile in use is as easy as Start|Control Panel and click on Color Management. The one in use is labeled default in the devices tab.

Hello Mark. I am new here too and am interested in your color blindness issue and would contribute to a new topic. There are devices that can help with your monitor and some printing issues. But, again, probably a new topic.

To me the image appears too dark (overexposed?). And if removing content, what is that pink thing in the lower right? And go for broke and remove the water bottles from your wife's hand. Nice picture!

And I am only here for the articles!

By the way, FastStone can be easily set up as the default image viewer and configured as mainly a viewer while not showing the editing tools. Try dragging your .jpg into a browser window and it will probably look very similar to the Lightroom rendition (at least that is what I saw).

I, too, noticed this effect using Windows 7 Pro "Windows Photo Viewer". I recently purchased the i1 Photographer kit with the i1Display Pro. My monitor defaults (a Dell U2711 - good in its day) to 50% Brightness and 50% Contrast. After using the i1Display a few times and seeing what it could do, I settled into a setting that seemed "right". [These were the settings: Used Advanced Mode, No Ambient Light Control, No ADC{Set Bright and Contrast interacting with software with result 31% Bright and 50% Contrast}, No Flare Control, Gamma 2.20, White point D65, Luminescence=120cd/m2 - yes I know, too much info.]

The result was a dimmer monitor (bright moved from 50% to 31%) but also I noticed my default picture viewer, "Windows Photo Viewer", was showing a version of the image that was obviously much darker. Googled and found that some software uses the applied x-Rite (or other non-default) Color Management Profile and some don't (or can only use the Windows standard default .icc profile - I did not follow up).

FastStone Viewer does use the applied profile and the images look the same as in Lightroom. Google {"Windows Photo Viewer" images appear dark} for other info.

We use Adobe CS on iMacs at work on a Windows (SMB) network and there is "something different" about a read/write to a locally attached drive (even via a slow connection like USB) as opposed to a network (usually ethernet) connection to a shared drive. We found random crashing of the Creative Suite apps due to the users home directory being on a shared volume. When we moved their home directories to the local drive on the iMacs the crashes disappeared.

One of Lightroom's main task's is its cataloging and it is not built to be concurrently shared - each occurrence of Lightroom needs sole access to the file. It may work on a network shared volume, but not with the same catalog opened in more than one copy. And "blackest"'s point that a network hiccup could corrupt the catalog is a very good one.

As neither is a laptop, either a networking share or an external hard drive will work. It seems the key is to keep both the images and catalog in sync between the computers. An external hard drive would be accessed by only one of the computers at a time so the catalog on the external would be edited by each computer in turn. On a network volume you might be only able to use it on only one of the two computers at a time (as each would need to be able to edit the catalog while running - and even if you "could" do it it might cause unexpected results).
