If you go to LR Preferences- Interface Tab there is a drop-down menu Font Size: it goes from Automatic (default) to Small, Medium, Large 159% to Largest 250% - I tried the 250%, but the text is very large, and the work area for the image is very small - Try dropping it down to the Small or Medium. Once you change the size you have to re-boot LR for the change to take effect.

Yea, this year's 5-Day deal is not something I would be interested in. I looked over all the offerings and none fit my needs. It seems like there is nothing worthwhile there. And yet all the photography email sites I receive emails from are all promoting it. Almost as bad as all the political ads on TV. I have gotten it in the past but you know it still sits on my computer and I haven't looked back at it since buying it. So my answer this year is NO.

Well good for you. Why be such a crab about it.

I signed up for a course with the "New York School of Photography" - It was a course in travel photography. It sort of started out OK until I submitted my first assignment for review by a "professional photographer". He made some comments on my photos and that was the end of the communication. If I had a question or wanted to further clarify his remarks I was not allowed to do that. During one lesson the instructor had his 12-14-year-old son doing the presentation. Really - I was paying the price of a college-level course and a 12-year-old kid was doing the lesson. After a while, I stopped doing the course and asked for a refund. I was told I would only get x-$ back because I had used up y-amound of time. It was a lesson learned and that is about all.

Right. I bought the filter for the last eclipse and also the sheet. I ended up using the sheet. It worked just fine. The sheet over my lens hood and a rubber band did the trick just fine.

Good article. But it's really more than I ever wanted to know about Bokeh.

You have pictures of it for memory's sake. Throw it in the trash. It's not even a good candidate for Good Will. Why make them throw it away.

Nice idea but. That is why I have insurance. If someone decides to take my old stuff, I get new stuff

Maybe it would be good if you got yourself a Lightroom book, checked out the FREE tutorials and Youtube videos.

You need to go out and spend more time taking pictures.

I was having an issue with my Lightroom Classic 11.4 - after it was updated. I could not do a Library search for a file name or keyword. I did a search on UG and found a post with the Adobe phone number. 800-833-6687. I called the number and almost immediately connected with a tech support person. She had me delete LRC and reinstall it. She did a remote login to my computer and connected to the LR Catalog. It was a short time and LR came up. I did some searches on keyword and file name and it worked just fine.

In the 10 years that I have had LR (subscription), this is the first time I have had to call them for tech support.

The young lady I was talking to was in India. I fully understood her English speaking just fine. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful.

I will have to say the tech support Adobe offered was excellent.

It could be just the brand of ND filter you have. The good one's don't produce the "X" .

You didn't say what brand or if the one you used was a Variable or Fixed ND filter. The dark lines can also show up if you are using a wide-angle lens. The "Thin" version of an ND filter on a Wide-Angle lens is better.

Now this is what I call a really helpful reply

And what's he going to do with it. Put it in a glass case and just look at it from time to time. What a waste. You buy something to use it not just look at it. Indeed you wouldn't walk around with it and take pictures.
Some people just have way to much money.
