Thanks

The "Ramelli option, if adopted by Adobe, would locate the side by side views (under "Library") to the RH panel, providing more real estate around the image that is being processed. Unless I am wrong (and I may well be) the current PS window when opened for the ability to display up to three images, covers part of the image in the main screen.

I can't believe that the Adobe folks don't know how to expand their own box. After you click on the Sky: panel, just click and drag the "faint little icon" at the bottom corner to expand the panel to include as many skies as you wish.


Disappointing that while I took the opportunity to recognize the Adobe team in helping me to address a concern that I had, you took the opportunity to criticize them. Are you aware that employee turnover has been significant since COVID and that not everyone in an organization may be 100% au fait with all their processes? Secondly, I would suggest that not every hogger may be fully aware of this process as I wasn’t. Thirdly, I did comment on what I thought were limitations in terms of navigating the “window” and possibly Adobe may take notice for future enhancements. Not sure what your expectations are of postings in UHH but what I look forward to is finding a wide range of contributions that inform and consequently increase knowledge and understanding.

Happy Thanksgiving

I recently began to insert my own sky photographs into PS.

One of the frustrations I found with the existing PS layout is the inability to view sky options side by side, versus the need to scroll down to view each option within each sub folder (e.g., sunrise; sunset; blue skies etc, etc);

I contacted Adobe and shared a screen shot from a Serge Ramelli video that showed sky options displayed side by side under "Library" on the right-hand window. The Adobe guys couldn't find a way to replicate the Ramelli solution, so they arranged to call me back the following day.

By accident, my wife found an interim solution before the Adobe guys called back.

On the bottom right corner of the window (after you select "Sky Replacement" on the drop down menu in PS) there is a "faint" icon that, once selected, enables to you display the skies side by side within each sub folder but seems to be limited to a maximum of three images in each row; with further limitations as to how you are able to navigate this window/display around the image you are working on.

When Adobe called back:
1. They confirmed they had discussed the Ramelli Library "option" with their software team and indicated that it would/could be part of a future software update.
2. Additionally they recorded and scripted my comments on the existing interim solution that my wife found and indicated they would pass this onto their software team. Maybe this option is already known to many Hoggers; except for me and the Adobe guys I spoke with!

On this auspicious day, "I am thankful" to Adobe for their diligence even on such a relatively small issue.

We are taking two months starting around Christmas to do a photo tour of the SW. Our route will take us from Northern AL through MS and LA into Ft. Worth for Christmas Eve and day. From there we will head to the SE part of NM - spend a week or so in western and southwestern NM(I have already captured the central and northwest part of the state). Next on the list is AZ and Page. I want to capture Antelope Canyon, but since they no longer allow photo tours is Canyon X a viable and worthy alternative since you can book a guide and use a tripod? The You Tube videos I have watched(at least the ones by and for photographers) are not high on the Lower and Upper Canyons. Since we will be there around the mod to latter part of January, the crowds will be smaller but input from those of you who have photographed that area would be most appreciated.
Any other "do not miss" locations are also welcomed.

Thanks so much in advance...this community is always so helpful and gracious.

I have had to cancel a tour of NM twice because many of the main photography locations are still restricted because of COVID concerns; worth checking out before you finalize your itinerary

It is a subscription based photography lightroom and photoshop training site.

I have a subscription because i paid to attend photoshop world and the suvscription came with it.

The training videos are fine, some better than others but they cover a wide range of subjects and include some very well known photographers and ohotoshop experts.

However the community and acess to help may be more valuable than the videos themselves.


I do not have a Subscription, but I regularly watch a FOC Scott Kelby YT channel "The Grid" (I think published weekly). It includes 'How Would I edit your Photo', 'Blind Photo Critiques' and many other Photography subjects and guests. Excellent information.

If you are doing any traveling while in Japan, I would recommend you purchase a Japan Rail Pass.


Coincidental i was looking at a potential Japanese trip the other day and came across the Rail Pass link. I noticed that Shinkansen were included. Do you know if the pass covers all Shinkansen routes across the island?

For many years I was fortunate to hold divisional roles across large organizations either side of the pond. One of the best bits of advice I ever received during my initial appointment was:

1. If many colleagues were to be impacted by significant changes to policy or process ensure you over-communicate; including a heads-up notification of changes that will be taking place.

2. Create a draft that can be forwarded to one or two of one's colleagues to solicit feedback before broad circulation.

3. Be very specific of the change(s) being made and, where necessary, articulate examples that highlight the revised policy or process.

A do-over of theses may be appropriate as I have no idea of how I now readily access the latest contributions from hoggers. Mind you, I am getting older by the minute.

Yes. Great item. I use it as a third leg (my legs are 1 and 2). I can use it with my camera in awkward positions I can't hold steady enough without it. It is also easier and faster to adjust than a tripod. Used it last month to photograph flowers at the Chicago Botanical Gardens last month.

You did not ask, but I will share. I bought the monopod below. It is the single best purchase I have made in a while. I added a gimble head to it. All quick release, light and functional. Holds my Z9 and 400 2.8 very well. The foldable and adjustable feet on the bottom are a wonderful addition.

Thank you, looks the ideal option for what I am looking for; particularly the three legged base, weight, height and ability to satisfactorily hold my Canon EF 100-400 with it's adaptor which is proving a challenge hand held

I have no specific comment on the model you asked about.

For outdoor locations or any location where my monopod can be roughed up, I prefer to use a metal one with flip locks made from durable plastic. The metal version is easier to clean especially if it has been in water or sand.

I do have a carbon fiber one too that i use for travel where a smaller size is a benefit. It has twist locks on it. I try and not to use it outdoors.

The weight savings from CF is not that meaningful on my two monopods.

I've been using the Manfrotto 290 Carbon Fiber Monopod for years. I prefer the snap locks over the twist locks as their faster. I tried a friends with legs and they just get in the way. I use a tilt and slide head.

Based on the responses so far I think people understand the question. Some less bright may not
