You don't need to uninstall. Just launch your Adobe Cloud



It will show all your new updates and you simply check the ones you wish to update. Lightroom is at the top, separate from the others.

I've uninstalled creative cloud several times and reinstalled. I just reinstalled lightroom for the 4th time.

When I open the program... nothing happens. Nothing. No error message no lightroom, nothing.

How are you accessing the program, from an icon in the task bar? First verify to see that Lightroom shows up under Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

Next, use the Search feature instead to bring up the program. Also, are you logged on as Administrator? You can do that by right clicking on the name. Sometimes this can be an issue when trying to initially launch the program. If its installed properly, one of these should work.

Try logging in and out completely, not just closing the app.

Seems to have worked for some.

This is exactly what it was. Pain in the damn ass.

Have you tried any of the trials of LR6 dom

Your reviews on the capture pro series has made me want to switch over when I upgrade my computer/mac/whatever, it would be interested to see your take on the new lightroom. (please don't download it and do it just for a review for me, it's only if you've already tested it)

Not yet it Adam. Last version I tried was 4. It's great software and if you shoot with Canon is probably all you need.

My issue with Adobe is that without competition that's all we'll have. Right now you can still buy LR but once they have enough subscribers you know they'll pull the plug on that and roll it into the CC as the only way to use it. The idea of renting software doesn't appeal to me.

Does this look like "Film" to you guys? (VSCO preset)

[ANP]

@Lamborg: Dynamic range, suggests Film.

I have just entered the Macro world, got a much wished for Canon 100mm f2.8 (Non L version)

Results from Canon 6D + Canon 100mm f2.8





Did I make it ??

[microspot]

^ant one is awesome!

[NinjaKix]

So excited

What I have ordered this week:

Dell Ultrasharp U2715H
2nd Einstein (w/ 47 inch octabox)
CSRB Reciever to fire my speedlight remotely w/ my Einsteins. (Dat dere Backlight)


3 Light setups!

[LieutenantGains]

Is there anything worth upgrading for except the GPU acceleration? LR5 has been pretty solid for me.

Is this from the VSCO film 00 pack they just released for free? I don't normally use presets but was considering experimenting with this.

HDR and Panoramic features are neat but as a few miscers have pointed out already, there are some great standalone apps for those. The face recognition is useless to me. The thing I'll probably use the most out of all the new features would be the filter brush, but even that won't see tons of use.

If you aren't processing batches of thousands of shots, I'd say you will be ok with 5. If you're shooting something sports related then the gpu acceleration will really help your workflow (I fill up a few cards per football game in the fall, feel like this extra processing power could easily shave an hour or 2 off my post workflow which is an hour or 2 that we can get photos up on the website, social media etc.)

Dell Ultrasharp U2715H

My Dell IPS panel died last year a couple of days before the warranty expired.

They sent me a brand new one a few days later. Can't fault the customer service. 5 stars.

[Boakey]

Agreed, the light is really cool. He's almost translucent.


For anyone who is interested, VSCO has some free film presets for lightroom right now.

Here's another shot from my weekend in Vancouver. I went out for a quick walk early Sunday morning while my travel mates slept off the night before.

Used one of the free VSCO presets and some other minor adjustments

Anyone here good with product photos? Like small items the size of a mouse, I need to get some pro pics of products with white back drops to sell online. I've got a decent camera and white lightbox with lamps, any tips tricks? They never come out that good, thanks

DOF is good on the ant but get in closer to utilize the full macro capability.With that lens you can get details such as hairs and the multi lenses on the eyes.You should be able to get excellent pics of things down to about one millimetre,use f/11-f/14,and try with and without flash.Macro is a bit of work to get right.

[KRANE]

No, but it is a close approximation. Film has that heavy saturated look. The reds and brown are earthy and organic. At least with Kodak film.

Needs some part of the subject. Although I wouldn't use an actual homeless for my own purposes, so its OK to compose.

Not with the ant alive.

Well,actually their eyes are pretty small and hard to get real good detail on them....

[LieutenantGains]

Wordpress brahs, anyone know of a good theme that lets you use full-width pics? Getting a little tired of my theme that only allows like 960px wide.

I'm planning on practicing with some rave gear i'm gonna be getting in the mail soon.

he'll probably need extension tubes to get closer. Even the 100mm macro lens has minimum focus distance of like a foot or something.

[ANP]

Thanks for the input brahs.

Thanks for the input mane, I was considering this, but these buggers are fast, running up and down the bark constantly, and the USM motor on the 100mm wasnt keeping up good, and to add to that the 11 point focus on 6D didnt help, here first time I wished i had more cross type AF points (6D only has 1). I got a hand full of sharp shots, but I liked this one better due to the light and dark background. Most of the shots were at f11.

And let me remind you, these are Fire Ants, even a single bite can be lethal, and I was standing around the whole colony of them. BRB constantly paranoid.

and Yes to get micro details, I probably need an extension tube.

[nvrstopworking]

Hit up an old castle in town the other day and took a pic of the stables there.

Just wondering which shot people here prefer....

This one?




or this one?

A Single bite can be lethal? The **** kind of ants you find brah lol..pretty sure I've been bit by multiples in my time.

Not lethal.

Maybe if you're allergic I guess.

[pvsampson]

Those pics are these, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-head_ant.Everywhere around our place and just inconvenient. Got some Bullants as well.Those things actually hurt and we have heaps of different ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmecia_%28ant%29

Brah google "Fire Ants"
I would not mind a bite, but I was into a colony of them and was not dressed for it, was wearing shorts and sandals. luls

Unless you had an allergy or were immunocompromised I dont think you have anything to worry about (unless you get bit like 300 times)

But it would ****ing hurt and I would set the entire forest on fire.
