And did you disable your auto focus illuminator?
that was my thought as well. Some of them are fairly bright

Where I'm shooting the extra stop in glass is the difference between ISO 25,000 and 12,000 so for some of us, nope, 2.8 is still king.

If I'm understanding your question, Yes, you can use LR and do nearly all of your photo editing so long as you're not looking to alter reality. Once you want to eliminate a phone pole you'll need to step out to PSE or PS to make changes like that. I think the main difference (for me) between PSE and PS is many (most?) Elements tools are 8 bit so you will loose some image quality when you export from LR though I don't know if you would be able to tell the difference. Photoshop tools (mostly) maintain the 12 or 14 bit depth of camera images.
I used to use Elements but since PS was included with the bundle I made the switch. I barely use it, maybe 1 in 100 images if even that. Everything else is done within LR.

If I can figure out what to do with Office, I may only have to backup and restore data files. Lightroom is no longer a problem.
I'm fairly certain you can just install MS Office from your old CD and use your existing license key. All will work just fine. I have done this. Their authorization system allows for 2 installs per year. If you have to install a 3rd time, system crashes or whatever reason you have, call their phone in system and it will allow you to activate it again.

When you say the Office CD has no more installs, they reset after 1 year. Same with Windows installer license keys, if you install it (or Office) on a pc just wait a year and they install will be available again.
You can install Lightroom on as many computers as you like but can only have 2 "active" installations at any given time.

As folks have stated it’s packaged to take some abuse BUT what about the VR mechanism inside the lens? Does VR “park” itself in a safe position when powered off?

Have been using Aperture for years. Now beginning to crash frequently (MacBook Pro since early 2015). Looking for replacement. Considering LightRoom or Affinity, but will consider others. Shoot mostly sports. Need minimal post processing-crop, exposure compensation, white balance, compression for email, etc.
Recommendations and opinions please.
Thank you!

FWIW, several folks asked about viewing images outside of LR. In the finder, select any file and then press the space bar to view the file contents. You could navigate to your sd card and view all the images that way.

Is there any chance you could do what CHG_CANON was suggesting and repost the screen shot with "Store Original" selected so we can read what's there? I think it would also be useful to post a screenshot of your import screen so someone may spot the culprit setting.

Though I'm presently invested in the Nikon DSLR platform, if I were starting out new I'd go the mirrorless route - Sony and Olympus make some amazing cameras that are affordable.

Best reply yet, Thank you, my biggest concern is reliability and for the price I may be better off with the D610, as its newer, whereas the D700 while more robust, is older and less feature rich.
Are you talking about buying a used D610? Used D610 bodies can be found for roughly $500 right now.
Absolutely no one should be buying a new D610 as the D750 is less expensive $1,200 right now while the D610 is sitting at $1,500
I have no idea what Nikon is trying to do... these prices have been the case, I think, for roughly 6 months now. If they're going to maintain a $500 rebate on the 750 why not put the same rebate on the 600? I suppose that would affect the D7200 market though... I guess the plan is above my pay grade to understand.

Yes, a variable neutral density filter is 2 polarizer filters stacked together.

My first computer experience was with mechanical teletypes and acoustic coupler modems that ran at 16 baud - I could whistle into the coupler and get the teletype of print garbage! That was one of the old ones with a paper tape recorder on the side and a print drum that spun around and moved up/down to print, we also had a 32 baud dot matrix teletype. We'd play The Oregon Trail where it printed on the paper, "you're facing west, you see a deer" that was a blast!

Be very careful with giving them full access to your PC we did this once to get help and omg the viruses that came through shut us doesn't for a good week. Up to you of course have your tried calling a PC repair guy, did you install and reinstall?
You shouldn't get viruses from a legitimate service call. There are many issues with companies calling end users to "fix a problem we've detected with our software" but they aren't legitimate.
