It was an issue for ALL of older Adobe products.


Not 'was', it 'is' still for some. I cant find any option to increase the font size in Elements 24.
Preferences used to have at least one option, that didnt really help much, but that has gone now in '24' version.
The only workaround Ive found, is to increase all font sizes in Windows settings. Set at 125%, it at least increases Adobe fonts a little, without blowing all other apps off the screen. (Windows 10).

Many here are losing track that the issue is Adobe LR specific. That was a known issue. It was finally corrected when PS CC came out.

Come to think of it, you must recall the Adobe was initially only available on Mac/Apple. The transition to Windows did not go smoothly (hence blaming MS for some of the issues).

Most, if not all other programs, scale correctly. CTRL-+/-/0 address text display and sometime images, not always. It does not address the program interface.

The only solution is to use Adobe scaling in preferences. As I mentioned, this could get some strange result as it was far from being consistent.

The best solution anyway is to upgrade to the newer standalone LrC. If the op already has this version, refer to my initial post in this thread.

It’s also been a problem in Elements for the last few years.

'Anyone have any ideas of where consumer camera technology may go from here, at least without implanting a sensor and processor inside your brain?'

I think cameras have more and more, subtly, become computers posing as cameras.
So next step, gradually, more and more AI based 'in camera' software.

We are 120v, as is Canada and Mexico.

Basically only consumer things that are 240V are clothes dryers, electric ovens, house air conditioners, electric heating systems, and maybe a few other large power things.
TVs, radios, computers, coffee grinders, electric frying pans, window air conditioners, drills, circular saws, hair dryers, and all the other small daily stuff is 120V.

But the houses (buildings) have two legs of 120V AC, 180° out of phase with each other. Either leg (A or B) to Neutral is 120V.
Leg A to leg B is 240V. For even power loading (distribution), half of the house wiring (outlets, lights) is on one leg, the other half on the other leg. (Circuit breaker panel rows are wired A-B-A-B-A-B-A... that way it's easy for a double breaker to supply the 240 when needed.)

Better generators will have the two phase outputs instead of single phase (one leg).

Got it. Makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation.

While there are some industrial applications that use 240v the average house in the USA uses 110 volts. The term 220 refers to having two 110 line inputs used by air conditioners, dryers and other high usage home equipment.


Cheers. Thanks for that.

I thought the entire USA was on 110v? Obviously not.
NZ is all 240v, although at peak times the voltage drops and the microwave won't start.
Used to be happening more often around dinner cooking time but now it can be earlier, maybe 5pm even.
I reckon its all the EV's getting home from work and going on charge.

A DSLR is simply older technology. Not sure we need to argue about it. One of the best of which and I think (not sure if it's actually still in production the Canon 1DX...?) But for good reason the production companies have stopped making DSLRs because they can do so much more without 'Mirrors'. Also my current 'Mirrorless' camera had an add-on 'Viewfinder', but I found myself quickly adapting to not ever using it. I was used to using the 'Viewfinder' from my DSLR days, but with the higher tech of the rear-display and even when manual focusing at 5x or 10x... I just find no need to use it.
Of course I'm sure it's already been mentioned that 'Mirrorless' numbers are just better in every way and can get better. The proposed Canon R5 Mark II coming out soon, I just drool over.

This isn't like moving from Records to CDs, and now LPs are experiencing a resurgence. Or a better example of those who love using their 'Film' cameras? What I'm saying is I don't think DSLR compares to that experience. Isn't the experience closer to the guy who simply upgrades his tablet or PC computer?

Holding onto the idea that your old-DSLR tech is good enough, and it may be for you. But take it for what it is. Old-tech. Some of us are very happy that the world has moved on.

I have a lot of pictures from my old DSLR camera. A Rebel SL1. But they don't compare to the resolution or quality I get from my Mirrorless. And I hope to upgrade again. I want that R5. Probably won't end up with Mark II though.

Ive said it before, but for some of us its the result and the satisfaction of achieving that result, that counts.
Apparently many get the same satisfaction from high tech computers, masquerading as cameras, getting astonishingly good pictures and then thinking their skills are due of the credit.
Whatever spins your wheel.
Each to his own.

I already responded to this but I had an opportunity and went ahead and snapped an example for you. The answer is yes, absolutely. See the photo below.

So I grabbed some odd items, put them on the couch and took a snap with my Z7. The raw file is a perfect exposure. My definition of a perfect exposure is an exposure that fully utilizes the recording capacity of the sensor. With that exposure I have the best possible SNR and the best possible data to work with. Note the upper right corner inset. You see a raw histogram with exposure stats and EXIF data. To get a perfect exposure I place the diffuse highlight in the scene at the sensor clipping threshold and click. Note the exposure stats column in the yellow circle. The red channel is not at clipping, the blue channel is not at clipping and the green channel has just made it there with less than 1% clipped. I have the green channel just barely touching the sensor saturation threshold. You can't expose with that kind of precision using a DSLR and I'll never go back to one. I can do what I did here with any subject in any lighting condition every time. NOTE the EXIF data and the EC value used. I set the camera to expose +2.3 stops above the meter reading. Using a DSLR how would you have known to do that with precision and certainty knowing the raw file exposure was perfect when you clicked the shutter release?

Somehow photographers have coped. For years and years, seems like forever, but we coped and some still do.
But I don't spend much time photographing cushions. (just kidding)

If you look through an optical viewfinder, you will see what is out there. What you won't see is what the image you take will look like. Mirrorless cameras show you what you will get when you take the picture. I watch many DSLR shooters take pictures and then try to look at the image on the LCD to see what they got. With mirrorless, I see in the viewfinder what I'm taking, and what I took, and I can enlarge it and inspect it and not have to shade my eyes in the bright sunlight.


How did you cope I wonder, while waiting for someone to invent your mirrorless camera.

With high speed sports or nature photography, when the subject is moving towards or away from you a mirrorless camera will focus continuously until the image is recorded. A DSLR stops focusing as soon as the mirror begins its trip, and before the image is recorded. Not a big deal in a static setting, but if you're behind the goal that fraction of a second between the time when the focusing stops and the image is captured is the difference between a sharp image and a slightly soft one. The keeper rate in these cases goes WAY up with mirrorless cameras.

Makes one wonder how come there were so many award winning fantastic sports pictures made before mirrorless.
Maybe photographers had to be skillful, masters of their art.
Not so much required today with technology taking the place of human ability.
One day maybe the photographer will just need a finger to push the button...

All the technical so called 'advancements' are interesting but no one has mentioned the output.
I consider the actual photo that a camera produces the most important factor.
I enjoy many of the advantages of a little Panasonic LX100II, mainly its convenience and pretty good pics it can produce, but for some reason the real pleasure I now get from making pictures is from using the less 'convenient' Nikon D750.
Mirrorless is just the latest step in the evolution of cameras. Doesnt mean everyone is going to, or should adopt it and become an evangelist.

Yep.
Like many, initially, interesting photography subjects raised on UHH, this quickly deteriorated from a discussion into an competition, argument.
Sort of like watching children in a playground arguing that their dad is smarter than his dad, so Im smarter than you.
Entertaining tho.
