Focus mask -- toggle it on and off under the View menu. It indicates points of sharp focus in the photo.


I think that might be the exposure warning. You can turn that on or off. Yours might be turned on. Just click on the Exposure warning found on the upper right hand of Capture 21 screen.

Sorry, I agree with previous reply. It has to be the focus mask because the color is green. Just look under the View tab and click on it. That should take care of it.

I forgot to mention that you need to buy a USB-C Hub so you can connect and read your SD cards. Go to Amazon and search for USB-C hubs, there are tons of them at Amazon and really cheap.

The way to delete photos on the iPad, click the folder where you stored your photos and on the upper right corner press Select and then select the photos that you want to delete; after selecting your photos, on the lowest part of your screen you have several choices one of them is delete. Or if you just want to delete one photo at a time, you can press and hold on the photo until a menu comes out to delete it. After you delete a photo, it is temporarily stored under Recently Deleted to give you the opportunity to either restore it or completely delete it. The way to go there is by clicking on your file manager folder which then gives you several choices to choose from one of which is Recently Deleted; choose that. You will find all your deleted items in there which you can either restore or finally delete them completely.

Thank you for all your advice...My plan is to continue use the desktop for my photo needs..I just need something to fill in the gap while I am moving ( prob for about 3 months or so), and also to use when traveling. I do not intend to use iPad ( if that is what I get) for any major editing...I would download my cards directly to the desk top when I return home..I was looking for something that might function for my computer needs as well as short term photo use for the interim transition period. Because my needs are temporary, the cost of an ipad is less than laptop, and I need to know if that would work for a short time ( I can use ipad as e-reader, as well as for mail and web) Hope that makes sense...

The answer to your question is an easy YES you can use an iPad for the purpose that you mentioned. I just did the same thing when I went to Asia last summer. All I had with me was my iPad Pro and my Sony camera and it worked so nicely and fast. Just make sure that you have an iPad Pro preferably with 512gig memory. I mentioned iPad Pro because it has USB-C which allows you to connect hard drives, SSD drives, memory card, etc. 512 gig would be more than enough to upload you photos from card to iPad and vice-versa and do some edits on your photos.
Affinity is available specifically for iPads with full functionality and so is Lightroom and Photoshop but with limited functionality. A pencil (generic or Apple) would also facilitate editing especially with Affinity or Photoshop but not really necessary.

I used to carry my MacBook Pro whenever I travel. However, its weight really adds up with my other stuff in my backpack. With the advent of the iPad Pro with USB-C, I decided to go with the iPad Pro 11" with 512gig memory... I also bought a USB-C multi-function Hub so if I want to save my photos to my iPad I could easily do that. In addition, I have Affinity and Pixelmator Photo for the iPad so if I want to do some quick edits with some photos I could easily do that too. Of course, I would do the formal editing when I get back from my travel with my MacBook using Capture One 20.

The best one to use for movies or slides is iMovie. After finishing your slides using iMovie, click share and choose File and save it as a video & audio format. When that's done, insert a blank DVD to your Mac's CD drive and a new window will open asking you to open Finder. When Finder opens, double click on your blank DVD a new window will open where you can drop your saved slides/movie file then click the familiar CD burn sign (ball with yellow and black color) on the left pane of your DVD window and it will burn it into a DVD movie. That's it.
iDVD has been gone for a very long time since time immemorial but burning DVDs is still there. Or you can buy a DVD app by Roxio if you want to have more options for burning DVDs.
Hope this helps.

I totally agree. It wasn’t worth the upgrade. There was really nothing new that version 12 can’t do. No wonder they were really trying hard to conceal what was new except for version 20, a big leap from 12 to show the appearance of a major upgrade... but what’s the upgrade? Silence! Just give us your money! Unfortunately, I fell for it! Lesson learned!

Just use Airdrop, so easy and fast. In fact, you can use airdrop from your iPhone to your Mac or from your Mac to your iPhone. All you have to do is turn on Airdrop and just drag and drop you photos and it will automatically transfer.

I have Lightroom, On1, Nik and Luminar but after evaluating and comparing all of them I have decided to make Capture One 12 as my main database and photo editor. Of course, I still sometimes use Luminar or Nik as plug-ins. What I like about C1 is it is fast, you can create layers very easily, and its color manipulation is excellent and easy to use. The latest version has what they call Luma which can separate the light background from the dark or vice versa and then you can make layers or mask from that separation.There is always a steep learning curve with any editor and that it just makes sense to go through that, unfortunately.
I use a catalog with C1 as it just makes it easier to find photos if you have it in one database. But you can also use what they call "sessions" where you can just edit on the fly without creating a database. And you can certainly use both at the same time if you wish by importing what you have done on sessions to your catalog.
So if you happen to decide in favor of C1 go for the Capture One Pro or Capture One Pro for Sony. The Sony version will only allow you to manipulate Sony photos but it has everything that the Pro has. If you want to have the flexibility of working on other cameras then go for the Pro which is more expensive. What you can do is buy the Sony version first and if you think that you need the Pro in the future then just upgrade. You will get a little discount that way.

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM, Intel Core I7. When I was using a traditional hard drive that came with the MacBook, Lightroom and Photoshop were running relatively fast. But when I changed to an SSD without upgrading RAM, both were running blazingly fast. SSD will definitely make a huge difference. If I understand you correctly you have 40GB RAM and a very new iMac. That's huge. Change to SSD and you will definitely see a mark difference.

Since I acquired ON1 2018, the very slow performance of ON1 had always been my greatest complaint especially in the photo preview of the Develop module and the very slow exporting of photos. In the develop module it would take at least 8 to 10 seconds for a preview to regenerate. Exporting usually takes 5 minutes to complete even with simple edits. I could live with the slow preview but not the slow exporting. I thought ON1 2019 would solve these problems but no. I have to admit that in the 2019 version the preview and exporting have improved a little bit but they're still slow. Version 2019.5 was the worst because I could not even run it as it always crashed. If you read comments from other users, a lot of them have similar complaints. On the other hand, ON1 Effects as a plug-in runs well.
I am now using Capture One Pro and it is just a pleasure to use. It is a little bit more expensive than ON1 but it is worth the money. Everything is fast, it has the ability to use layers, color management is excellent, exporting only takes 3-4 seconds and it is indeed a very close competitor to Lightroom if not better. I am not looking back and I would highly recommend that you try it for free for 30 days.

Try Capture One. It's a little expensive compared to ON1 but it is way faster even in old computers and I really love using it and I'm lot looking back. They have a 30-day free trial if you want to try it. I have also used ON1 since the 2018 version but the very slow speed especially in the Develop preview and the very very slow exporting were just very frustrating for me. In the develop mode it would take a good 8-10 seconds to regenerate a photo preview before it becomes clear but the slowest is the exporting...it will take at least 3-4 minutes to export a simple photo with a simple adjustment. That was not acceptable to me. The 2019.5 version kept on crashing, I could not even work on it. Compare that to Capture One, preview is instant and exporting the photo to jpegs or tiffs will only take 4-5 seconds. I have been using Capture One for Sony for about 4 months now and I'm really happy with it. Luminar is a great app, easy to use with lots of filters to play around but I use it mostly as a plug-in after Capture One. Luminar 3.1 as a stand-alone app is still not as matured compared to Capture 1 or Lightroom though has greatly improved in terms of speed of its photo management. Hope that helps.

First of all, Palawan (where Puerto Princesa is) is not a muslim province. So I echo the same comment not to listen to the nay sayers. The Philippines is a safe place and and the people are very hospitable and friendly but just like any other big cities they have a share of scammers and the likes. Manila is just like any other big cities in the USA but the traffic is probably worse than LA. If you're in Manila, I suggest that you go to Tagayay which is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Manila where you can take a lot of beautiful pictures of Taal Volcano, etc. Don't go there on a weekend though or you'll get stuck in traffic the whole day. Go there on a weekday and make sure to leave early. There are a lot of places to take pictures of in Puerto Princesa one of which is the Underground River. You can also go on island hopping and enjoy the white sand beaches and go snorkeling. Coron, which is another thirty minute flight from Puerto Princesa, is, for me, one of the best places in the Philippines. Go on island hopping and you will have plenty of beautiful sceneries to take. Island hopping there will take at least a good half day to a whole day but you will see a lot of amazing sceneries.
I don't know how long will you be staying there in the Philippines but Bohol is another province worth visiting especially for pictures, etc. Here are sample pictures to whet your appetite: The first one is the entrance to the Underground River, the second one is Taal Volcano in Tagaytay and the third one is in Coron...

I have an old Macbook Pro, mid 2012, with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8gig RAM. I have no problems with Luminar 3, it read my more than 5,000 photos fairly quickly except for crashing once in a while and picture turning red for a few seconds which, hopefully, have been addressed on this new update. I tried the new update this morning and it seemed to be working really well. The biggest complaint I have which could be a deal breaker for me is the very slow exporting even using the short edge jpg. It usually takes a 42-megapixel photo about 1 minute to export using the short edge. If I use original it will take at least 5 minutes that's without layers; it takes a little longer with layers. And this is happening despite using an SSD drive. I don't know if any of you Mac users are experiencing this. Compared to Lightroom or Capture One v.12 exporting is very quick--just about a few seconds. It's a deal breaker because although editing in Luminar works really great and quick, exporting delays my work so much, wasting so much of my time.

I agree with everyone here who is using Capture One 11 - that's the latest version, that it is one of the best if not THE best. I've tried and actually still trying Capture One using the 30-day free trial and I extended it for another 30 days and my overall assessment is it is a really good photo RAW editor. It is fast and it is just a joy to use. Pictures really come out nice in terms of color, sharpness and brightness. I also have Lightroom and ON1 but I always go back to Capture One for some reasons. Initially, it is overwhelming because a lot of the tools are very unfamiliar and hidden especially if you're coming from Lightroom. But after watching one or two tutorials and one webinar on layering, which they have plenty of, you will catch on very quickly and it just becomes a very enjoyable program to use. Exporting is also fast. For me, Capture One's strong points are its ease of use in layering and in manipulating colors and color balance AND the speed. It executes all the changes that you want really, really fast. The negative is it is very expensive to buy the PRO version @$300. Sony version is affordable @$79 unfortunately it's good if you're using Sony cameras only.
