I returned from a trip to Europe with 2400+ jpeg pix. I screened and edited all in LRC, leaving me with 2100+ keepers.
As I looked at the edited pix, I saw that I must have done unintentional edits because many, many of them were badly cropped, badly exposed, etc. - about 10 days of work ruined.
So, I went back into LRC and edited them all again. Today I finished and they seem all to have saved as I wanted them. Another 5 days of work.
Then ... I realized that all of the first edits I had done were still in the catalog! I hadn't used history to erase the edits so all of them were still in place with my corrections following them, file after file.
What ramifications?
Is there a way to go through the pix and eliminate the first edits while keeping the second edits in place and active? Is there a way to do that universally?

I’m a 30-year vet who has thought much about this … your thoughts and words are very much better than my own. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Is our boy a co-conspirator?

Agree completely! Great story and very well-done film.

You can try a mix of vinegar and water. On a warm, dry day, when the plants will be very thirsty, drench them heavily.

What's in a name?
Get off the high horses - if someone is just learning and/or just not producing photos to YOUR particular satisfaction, then just don't look and hush up.

This was our beautiful Dante, a Pixiebob. Wonderful to see, wonderful to know. We miss him!

Love it!

I have done significant amounts of B&W.
If you want it simple, then you can let the camera's algorithms convert the image formed from "colored" light: you'll get pretty good, and especially consistent, results.
If you want choice, then shoot in color and use post-processing to convert (admittedly by algorithms) colored photos to B&W ones. The difference is that YOU get to make the choice of boosting or dimming the red spectrum versus the blue versus the yellow, etc. Once you've tried it, you will most likely to make the decisions yourself. (In addition of controlling the creativity, you will become very much more involved in any single capture and personalize it - perhaps in many versions.
I recommend ,MASTERING BLACK AND WHITE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY by Michael Freeman - $6.18 on Amazon; it will walk you through the process. It's worth the time!
Best Wishes.

All the better to EAT you with, My Dear!

That happened to me too, but in tge Pacific Ocean. Glade we were all safe.
You should talk to a screen writer; you could sell that story for a movie!

I took these at SD Zoo in 1966 with my Nikon F and 400mm Vivitar lens.

Just checked Wikipedia:
"Theodore Roosevelt Jr. born October 27, 1858."

I have a Nikon D5600 and D7200. I want to replace my 55-300mm kit zoom and am interested in:
Nikon 18-300
Sigma 18-300
Tamron 18-300
Tamron 18-400

Anyone have advice?
