Tag good to see you still checking in ...

I've never really left. Just live on the island next door.

I see lots of mention of NAS boxes and thought I'd share my El Cheapo Ebay special

i5, 8gb ram running Xpenology. (external link) with 2 x 3TB hdd from a previous Synology box with software for 9 more hdd. Includes a Plex server and torrent downloader. The previous box was a work throw out.

Weka, challenge yourself to photograph something different or a different style. Don't wait for someone else to do it.

How do you actually 'attach' a pic here? Can you use a jpeg off your own desktop?

Public greenhouse in Gore. This has been an unusable pic but this was mainly processed in Aurora HDR and is a one pic hdr . Has worked very well for me, this time. Previous ones made me think I had invested in... well... blerrrrgh software but this one is at least viewable.

I haven't done much HDR lately but use Photomatix and SNS-HDR usually, or some time Lightroom (I think LR has an HDR option). JUst wondering if you have used any of the others for comparison. And is it Aurora on a MAC or Windows?

I see some good results with Aurora over on the natural looking HDT thread, but need to know if MAC or Win as I bought their Luminar, but it doesn't do as promised on Windows.

Thanks

Rosey, that was finished off in Luminar and they have just put out an update I am downloading as we speak. I am running Windoze 10 onna AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, AMD Radeon Vegan Graphics and only 8 gigs ram which I am planning to triple this week. Luminar can be quirky but when it works, it does really work well. My tech expertise is not up with layers, LUTs, blending etc. I used to have Photoshop cc which I liked using much better than Lightroom but am not taking enough pics to warrant the rent. However, it actually is not over priced when compared to the others you pay for, and continually pay for updates.

I have not used photomax but have used machinery hdr but very few pics done in it. I did find Adobe Photo Raw filled most my needs.


Which still does not answer, How do I attach? as I may be not using flickr too much in the future.

Hope I didn't confuse the issue by mentioning Luminar. I'm aware they are two different progammes, designed to do different things.

I was annoyed at Adobe's decision to go serial, or whatever, and wanted a standalone programme to replace it. I still use LR 6. ... as standalone, but am aware that after a while it will probably lose various aspects of functionality, as that is how they keep us hooked in to continually upgrading. This feels corrupt to me! I am hoping to retire in the next few years, but to maintain rates, utilities, etc etc becomes more daunting, let alone the pleasure of a camera and the software needed to process the images.

I read about Luminar, watched some youtube tutorials, but all the while not realising these related to MAC, and the Windows did only a portion of the functions/actions/what​ever.

I have used Linux in the past, and am aware of various options for Open Source Software, but in my experience, so far, these have not been as intuitive. (I am lazy).

Luminar and Aurora are same company and I have also found, Mac lovers. There is a 'new' luminar coming next month, their updates are free. I have found the AI sky fixer which is new does not work on my windoze. Oh well. The freebie photo edit software is probably very good in the main, I have played with Raw Therapee and Darktable but I do not find them intuitive to use, possibly lazy praps. ;) I am afraid I do like drag and drop software.

ACDSee does very well but lots more than I need. OnOne has been horrible and topaz as bad except it now works fine with jpegs. I find also RW2 files from the Lumix G9 are not yet so well catered for.
