Totally off topic. But have daughter look at whitecoatinvestor.com. Critical financial information for docs. My son is a doc and it helped him a lot.

As I mentioned, if you are a pro and have skin in the game, then maybe. But a pro photog is an amateur when it come to legal matters. But I am not an amateur when it comes to litigation matters....I've been deposed more times than I can remember. And dealt with a many legal matters when I worked (not an attorney, but ran a very large operation that was legal-centric. I have my name in a rather well known Calif appellate case where my decision prevailed.) I did expert wit work as well.

The entire matter really is comical when people want to "sue." Unless it is a personal damage case where an attorney will take it with the hopes of winning a settlement and taking part of the settlement (usually 40%), then suing people comes out of your pocket. As in paying an attorney $500 an hour and up. Which is why depositions often take days...its not because of some hidden discovery needs...its billable hours. Go to mediation? Mediators often get $7500 a day paid equally by the plaintiff and defendant. If you need an expert witness, to the tune of $400 an hour, you pay for that as well. People think in terms of right/wrong or winning/losing. So taking some over saturated photo and having some small company use the thing without permission? Go to court? The only winners are the lawyers and the mediator. Unless you have very deep pockets and simply want to make a point.

Skip the notion of watermarks as protection, my opinion only.

I guess I am stuck for life on auto (I shoot Aperture mostly and sometimes Manual but now I am not sure I'm doing things correctly.) The ISO, SS and Aperture work ok in my limited hard drive head. I do ok on occasion. Kinda like a guy playing golf who shoots par on a hole once in a while.

Watermarks are the mark of an amateur...amateur photographer and certainly what I used to call an armchair attorney. What is legal and what is a tort are mildly interesting. The issue is are you willing to litigate a complaint? How deep are your pockets? Ever deal with litigation costs? Unless this is your bread and butter business, move on to something else to worry about.

These tests mean nothing to me either. But, photography is a hobby for all but a few of us on this forum. Many of us are retired and pursue this hobby as we see fit for our own purposes. For some that means buying (and selling) a lot of gear, for others it is the art, for some it is travel, for some it is diving deep into Photoshop, for some it is minimalism and for some it means creating and understanding a spreadsheet on the exposure triangle. The mere pursuit of this data is interesting to some and is an intellectual exercise in of itself. It is no different than a crossword puzzle, writing poetry, or simply learning something new for the sake of learning. Boring to you (and irrelevant to me) is not boring to the OP and the posters on this topic. Perhaps look at things from their perspective.

Seems people cannot resist the temptation to hijack thread...what they use, who does what. Anyoo, I like your naming protocols..but add the mobile part of it.

Classic
Cloud
Mobile

The Webby was an award I used to give at roll calls....seriously...after my last name. But I like the classic, cloudy and phoney. Clever.

If it were only one or two folks, then the problem would be with them. But it is somewhat widespread on this forum and a few others. So it is a nomenclature and branding problem. Kinda like the Ford Maverick...one is a car and one is a truck. Not smart. It might work for coke. But the full name of LR seems a bit off...like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

It makes sense for everyone to understand and agree on a nomenclature so we can be more accurate and understandable when we communicate with each other.

And add "mobile" for using the mobile app of LR.

And add fubar for the rest

I failed to add this link. Pretty simple:

Look up the grey card method of exposure with a flash...

1- take the photos again so we can read the screen.
2- consider joining the Speedlight and Strobe Fundamentals Facebook group...there, Tim Payne and most everyone else use the Godox system. Post your problem there and you will get a knowledgeable response.

I am not a fan of Kelby. His incessant goofy comments in his books, attempts at being humorous, are annoying and take up space and time.

Because LR is updated all the time, I avoid books because they cannot keep up with the newly introduced features of LR. I like Julieann Cost video tutorials. I like Terry Lee White. And the available free tutorials from Adobe are good as well. Ive only seen one Lightroom Queen post..it was detailed. MattK, does ok on editing but leaves out, intentionally, the whole instructional area of organizing photos...a very major part of LRC.

I did not. I know it changed hands a few years ago. And participation seems to be down as well.

we have both ecobee and Nest. Nest is a bit easier to use. And now, nest has a thermostat with remote sensors so that you can set temps for other areas of the house rather than just where the thermostat is. We use the connectivity of all thermostats. A very handy feature.
