Loving the half bottles of wine, why suffer through house wine? I chose Rosso di Montalcino Col d'Orcia and got a glass upgrade as well. I wanted another Brunello but thought it best to give it a rest.
Insalata di Fegatini
With Slow Food placards in the window, I'm attempting to order as traditionally as possible. I choose insalata di Fegatini con vin santo - chicken livers cooked in vin santo over radicchio & arugula. If the first dish has arugula, I know I will be ok. It's delicious! The richness of the livers and the sweetness of the wine pair nicely with the bitter greens. And the rosso di montalcino plays it off well. For once, I'm happy I chose the cheaper wine.
Braised tripe in a rich but light broth over radicchio & arugula. Delicious! Happy for the greens under the rich food. And I'm glad I did not order the insalata. Next up: ribollita. A chance for redemption. I told the owner that I had a lousy one last night and she assured me that it would be good.
And it is. The ribollita is thick and rich. Served with chopped red onion and fantastic olive oil on the side, it is true comfort food. However, it is overshadowed by the tortina di broccoli. Light and fluffy, but rich with the flavors of broccoli, anchovies and pecorino - some of my favorites. Alas, the half bottle of wine is too small for four dishes. I should know better by now, but the BMW is waiting for me.
Tortino di Broccoli
And just as I think I will behave, the giant bottle of grappa arrives at my table...

Why Choose Us For Your House Cleaning Needs?
Considering Hiring a House Cleaning Company?
There are many reasons to consider hiring the best house cleaning service in Annapolis MD
Value – Bottom line, your time is extremely valuable. Think about this – calculate how much you make per hour and multiple it by the amount of time it will take to clean your home. Chances are it is much less expensive to hire a house cleaning company than to do it yourself.
Stress Reducing – Living in a dirty or cluttered home can send your stress level through the roof. You have a busy life. At the end of the day, you do not need to add to cleaning to your lists of tasks that never get completed. Having a clean home shouldn't require yet another item on your to-do list.
Efficiency – As in any employment situation, the more experience you have in an area, the better you are at doing that job. When you hire a cleaning company, you have a professional staff that knows how to work efficiently to get the job done right.

This much is clear: Had Northwestern retained coach Bill Carmody and his staff, Fenwick guard Scott Lindsey would not have made plans to become a Wildcat.
"I never got recruited by Carmody," said Lindsey, who never has even attended a game at Welsh-Ryan Arena. "I don't know if he knew who I was."
Truth be told, Lindsey was on the radar of few high-major programs until he rose in the summer evaluation period. Some scouting services still don't have him rated, but Northwestern, Iowa and Vanderbilt saw enough potential to offer him a scholarship. He is considered a strong shooter with a high basketball IQ.
"I agree that my best basketball is ahead of me," Lindsey said. "I haven't really filled out yet. I'm still growing."
He means that literally. Lindsey is 6-foot-5 and 180 pounds, but doctors have told him that his growth plates are not closed.
By orally committing to Northwestern on Sunday, Lindsey became the fourth member of Collins' first recruiting class, which will hit campus next fall.

ABOUT ME, Owner, Editor, Senior Blogger- HBIC
ABOUT HEATHER, Senior Blogger and one BAD A$$ MOFO
I'm Heather! I was born and raised in Cincinnati and while I currently live in the suburbs it is still Cincinnati. I graduated, with honors, from the University of Cincinnati with my Bachelor's in Communication. Professionally, my focus is in communication, public relations, and marketing. After graduating from college I moved into the government sector and have been a government contractor since 2004.
I am married to my best friend, Erik, and our beautiful daughter was born in November of 2009. My life passions include my family, reading, couponing (yes, I am one of those), product reviews, deal hunting, and general gab (hence the degree in Communication). I love to take in knowledge about anything that I can get my hands on; everything from a new book, the latest technology, to a new recipe.
A few random facts about me! I'm a Scorpio and have the personality to match it; my husband will tell you that is a good and bad thing, depending on the day. I would prefer a cabin in the woods, surrounded by snow, with a fire in the fire place, and hot chocolate in my cup over the beach any day of the week. I love all types of books, pirates, wizards, vampires, a love story, history… you name it and I have read it. I am an extreme couponer and even have a room in my house dedicated to my stockpile (see it HERE). Some people refer to this as hoarding but anyone that knows me knows that I believe in living frugal and giving back to others as often as I am able.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to growing with the community and adding my little twist to the scenery.

Tampa, Florida (PressExposure) December 11, 2009 -- Traditional hair removal techniques such as shaving, waxing and tweezing only provide temporary relief and may actually stimulate hair growth and cause skin infection. Electrolysis, while effective, often requires years of ongoing treatments and is particularly painful. Laser hair removal offers four main advantages: 1) comfort, 2) speed, 3) accuracy, and 4) long-term effectiveness.
Laser hair removal is soaring in popularity last year in the US there were almost 2 million procedures performed. Today it ranks as the fastest growing non-surgical cosmetic enhancement procedure and is second only to Botox in numbers of treatments.
So with salons and spas racing to add laser hair removal to their menu of services, how can you be sure you're selecting a clinic that not only offers effective removal of the hair, but also employs the highest safety measures? Below are tips to finding the right laser hair removal place for you.
Ask questions Who supervises the laser operators and how are they trained? Can you take a tour of the facility and meet the staff? Is the website informative? How many procedures have they performed? Will they perform a test spot on your skin for the area you would like to have treated? Will they provide you with a list of their customers who you can speak to first hand to ask questions about their experience at that facility?
How many lasers they have Many places offering laser hair removal have a one-size-fits-all mentality and use the same laser on all patients. A reputable clinic should have multiple lasers so they can customize and tailor treatments to individual hair and skin types. Also, they should require you to complete a detailed medical history form to be sure there are no contra-indications to your laser treatment.
Who performs the laser hair removal? State regulations vary across the US. It's as important to know when to use the laser, as it is when NOT to use it. A handful of states limit the practice to physicians. Consequently not much laser hair removal is done in those states. While some laser procedures should be done only by a physician, laser hair removal is not one of them. It is a simple procedure of exceedingly low risk. Even when the procedure is performed in a doctor's office, you will rarely find a doctor actually doing the procedure. On the other hand, some states have virtually no minimal requirement for practitioners of laser hair removal.
Medical professionals such as nurses, advanced nurse practitioners and certified physician assistants, under physician supervision and using physician-written protocols, best do the procedure. Practitioners should be trained by the laser manufacturer. In addition to manufacturer training, Ideal Image provides a comprehensive two-week training program for all treatment providers.
Risk factors Generally the highest risk associated with laser hair removal is mild sunburn. However, the laser center should provide you with an 'Informed Consent' form, detailing everything you need to know about your procedure, and they should take time to answer all your questions.
The senior reviewer for the FDA's office of device evaluation, Richard Felton, indicated that in the last decade, the agency had record of only 60 consumer complaints most of those were complaints that the procedure didn't work.
Are you even a candidate? Most people who complain laser hair removal doesn't work weren't appropriate candidates to begin with. Choose a clinic that offers a free consultation to determine if the procedure is right for your hair and skin type. Laser hair removal is most effective on light skin with dark hair but, with the appropriate laser, can also be done on dark skin as well. Since the laser beam is attracted to melanin, the pigment in brown and black hair, it's not usually effective on blond, gray or red hair.

Hello, my Lightroom has failed to boot since installing this update... anyone have any ideas for me?
If $10/month is too much for you, well, it's too much for you. C'mon... you surely spend that much or more on junk food alone, never mind the "other sutff"... whatever...
Tell us, what software you do actually use that you don't pay $10/month for?
No one is forcing your to use Adobe's CC (Lr & PS); but if someone does, they are a "sucker"... get a bloody old of yourself. Self-righteous nitwit.
I have Elements 14. Opening yesterday I got a panel "You have an Update" - Photoshop Camera Raw 9.4. Thing is, it only gives one option: to update. And if I don't my El.14 is locked. I turned off my PC thinking it could be a scam. Anyone else had this problem? Of course, trying to get through to Adobe is like getting a battleship through the doors of Fort Knox.
Since I'm not very familiar with Adobe products, can ACR be used independently as a stand-alone application, or just as a plug-in with Photoshop/Lightroom?
Also, it would be nice if the article included a link to the ACR 9.4 download page.
ACR is only a plug-in for Photoshop or Bridge. Sometimes I launch it within Bridge because I need to use ACR but not Photoshop.
Lightroom uses the code but not as a plug-in, i.e. you can't update the ACR code in LR. That is why LR and ACR are always updated together. To update LR with the latest ACR code, you update LR.
yes - still available as a stand alone upgrade or buy version.
It's a bit hidden at Adobe online but a quick search at amazon helps:
Still the best over all software for sorting and optimizing photos I've tested to date.
BTW - Adobe sends me regularly requests for surveys - I keep writing that I will stop using LR once it is a rent only model and I can only encourage everyone else to do so - the tendency to offer a rent model is annoying and the wrong way to deal with customers IMHO
Yes, I tell them that in surveys too. The rent only model is the thin end of a nasty wedge and I refuse to support it.
Curious.... is LR still offered as a stand alone program or is it CC only?
The reason the headline says "Lightroom CC 2015 and Lightroom 6.4" is that there are two Lighrooms. The CC is the cloud and the 6.4 is the standalone.
keep forgetting to unsubscribe to adobe, gotta go do it now, switched to capture 8 and loving it.
vote with your wallets. Choose other software providers. It a pain to learn a new workflow but a little effort may pay dividends - literally.
There's quite an important bug fix in here - the video cache limit. If you have an SSD, lightroom has quite likely eaten a vast amount of your precious space, without you even knowing. This should take care of one aspect of the problem.
See https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom-6-2-1-video-cache-is-out-of-conttrol-major-bug-report?topic-reply-list[settings][page]=2
For those who wish to save the 6.4 update file, here's adobe link:
Boundary Warp is a really nice addition.
It appears that the panoramic Boundary Warp feature is also not available in the standalone LR 6.4 version, only with CC. At least it doesn't show up for me. Can anyone else confirm? I see no mention of this omission here or anywhere on Adobe support forum.
I think Adobe said that LR 6 would only gain extra camera support, not extra features, until there's a whole version number update.
My already dismal opinion of Adobe's marketing tactics has sunk even lower. What would it have taken to include that feature in the standalone product? A few minutes of coding. They are pathetically transparent in their disdain for those of us who chose, for very good reasons, to buy our software rather than succumb to their hostage-ware scheme.
Someone who's worked in senior roles at tech companies suggested to me that adding new features between whole dot releases is legally difficult because it could have a material impact on share price, which adds all sorts of hurdles in public companies.
This would be consistent with the way pre-CC versions of LR worked. Camera support would be added and bugs would be fixed but I can't remember (and I may be wrong on this) significant features being added between whole dot versions. At which point, LR 6.x users are no worse off than before, they just don't get the full benefit of the system they chose not to engage with.
I'm not suggesting this is the sole reason Adobe has moved to a subscription-based model and I understand why people are frustrated (especially users of the software that isn't available standalone any more), but I'm not sure it's the sign of disdain you suggest.
That's merely the way it was explained to me (it may have lost something in the re-telling or have been slightly mis-remembered).
Either way, I still can't remember significant features being added between whole dot upgrades in LR (again, my recollection may be imperfect).
I agree with Rdefen that adding features in between major releases could expose Adobe to potential liability is a preposterous idea. Apple seems to be able to just that with almost every minor OS update without a shareholder revolt, and many other tech companies do exactly the same. It may be true that Adobe never added new features in the past. But the code for Boundary Warp is done and integrated into the CC release. Had they wanted to add it to the stand-alone version, they easily could have. The only reason they didn't is because they keep hoping that those of us who have been holding out will eventually relent. Yeah, sure.
Wait, is that a flying pig I see?
Phase One (the company behind Capture One) probably doesn't need better lawyers.
As far as the Internet will tell me, Phase One is a privately held Danish company. As such, they are not subject to the same SEC accounting practices that a publicly traded American company needs to follow.
To compare how both companies treat the same situation could be an apples vs oranges situation without considering the larger context.
Really? Now the SEC is checking to see if you add new features into software via minor bump releases? Really? Show an example, just one, how a new feature added to a piece of software had an effect on stock price to the degree that the SEC took action against them.
Maybe this is a reason that companies of all sorts, not just software, are moving out of the US? Give us an example.
As I say, that's merely something that was suggested to me.
However, separate point: I still can't remember significant features being added between whole dot upgrades in LR.
If that is the case, then LR 6 owners are not being treated any differently from LR1, 2, 3 and 4 customers. Even if Adobe can add stuff, it's not unreasonable for them to want to offer an incentive to buy the product they want you to buy. It's not coming at the expense of LR 6 customers - they have the software they paid for and it was always made fairly clear that extra goodies would be available to CC customers.
Didn't Adobe state at some point that with CC you get feature additions as and when they are made but with standalone you don't get them ? I always thought they intended to migrate all users possible to CC while not (yet) explicitly killing the standalone product and these more frequent feature additions yet another tool to make the CC product more attractive. For me, if and when they kill off the standalone I may find another product.
PDL, the issue is not effects of features on stock prices. Nothing to do with that, you won't find any examples down that road. What you are looking for is the phrase "revenue recognition." Goes back many years before this, rooted in th Enron scandal, since you asked for an example here is a link. It is missing a link but should be from around 2008.
P.S. Not saying I agree or that it is justified, just that is where this whole kerfuffle is coming from.
I'm ok with new features not being included for standalone. Continuous features was the promise for subscribing. However...I'm not convinced that Adobe is really delivering on the promise of constant feature adds for the money. Seems like they're just collecting the money. If you're paying just the $10/month, then it's not terrible, but anyone paying the $50/month - I think we did better buying every other CS version.
Richard Butler - So the additional feature of syncing to LR mobile in LR 5.4 April 8, 2014 after LR v5.0 release in April, 13 2014 does not say that Adobe has "added new features" to LR at a bump release? Or does this not fall under a "new feature" to you, some users would say, yes it does.
I think you might have to revisit
"Someone who's worked in senior roles at tech companies suggested to me that adding new features between whole dot releases is legally difficult because it could have a material impact on share price, which adds all sorts of hurdles in public companies."
and clarify what they mean by "Material impact on share price.
Again, I ask, show where this has happened to any software distribution. The reference to the iPod is where Apple was adding new APPLICATOIONS or Apps not available on the product before that time. I have no issue with Apple charging for new applications, however I would think that they would, in that case, separated the free bug fix from the new app.
Here's my gripe: The new anti-haze tool is only available if you pay the CC subscription of Lightroom and doesn't appear on the desktop version. Grrr.
It's called marketing... They could give it, just like the subscription version, but why should they? They are in the business of making money at the end of the day, right?
No, you didn't pay for it. You paid for the version that existed when you bought it. Not a future version that was yet to be developed and released.
DeHaze isn't in LR5 either because customers need to pay for an upgrade to get it. Same with LR6 Perpetual. Adobe made it quite clear to anyone who pays attention to the differences between Perpetual and Subscription that Perpetual licenses will get NO NEW FEATURES; bug fixes and new camera support only.
You want DeHaze or the new Pano-Wrap; you pay for it by either upgrading to LR7 IF it comes out OR subscribing to get NEW features. Simple.
You paid for a perpetual license, you got that. You paid for a fixed product with NO new features but bug fixes, you got that. You didn't like some of us, pay for ongoing new features. So you'll not get them!
You want new features like I got? Pay; subscribe or WAIT for the next major version, pay again. Your call.
I don't know if you are purposely trying not to understand this, or if you are really struggling with it. Seems the later.
I paid in full for Lightroom 6.x. I also have paid in full for Capture One Pro 9.x. I get updates and new features in Capture One. I should be able to use Lightroom 6.x after Lightroom 7 comes out but there are doubts that if you use Lightroom 6.x and stop the subscription that you will be able to even start it up.
>> if you use Lightroom 6.x and stop the subscription that you will be able to even start it up.
Untrue, more FUD. The FACTS are, IF you unsubscribe, you have access to ALL modules expect Develop and Maps. Do try to get your facts straight before you dig into Adobe for providing a different schema than C1 which was clearly outlined to the customers who have the time and intelligence to actually read what the differences are between Perpetual and Subscription based software!
No one, certainly Adobe puts a gun to anyone's head to buy either a Perpetual license with it's restrictions or a subscription with it's lesser restrictions. You're supposed to be a good consumer and if you're not, it is no one's fault but your own!
I'm terribly sorry if the reality of all this continues to ruin your life and that of Hugo808.
>>And what is the purpose of Lightroom without the Development Module?
The Library Module which is a DAM silly. Adobe could easily cripple every module if you don't subscribe. They don't. All the hard work some of us provide in setting up our catalogs isn't lost IF we stop subscribing. Again, Adobe could hold us hostage to that and don't. Also the Print module for some (me) is worth the price of admission alone. IF I were to unsubscribe, I could still use that for printing.
That's terrific PDL, so you have no need for LR. I don't know what that has to do with the price of cheese, the well known differences between a Perpetual and Subscription license or the FUD provided by that incorrectly states: >> if you use Lightroom 6.x and stop the subscription that you will be able to even start it up. <<
That statement is simply wrong.
I hope you treat your clients with more respect. Or perhaps you should rename your business to what we used to call outsiders telling us what to do as "insultant" not consultant.
To be precise, the Library Module is a image-limited video Asset Manager. To get a real DAM get the appropriate too.
PDl, what a sad misinformed person you turned out to be.
First, respect is to be earned. You didn't earn any but making up a statement about what happens to LR users when they stop subscribing. Try if you can to get the facts straight and you'll maybe earn the respect of your peers if I can be so kind to you by associating you with them.
2nd, the Library module is a DAM and it continues to be so if you stop subscribing and there's zero reason why Adobe had to allow this. Very generous of them to only kill the Develop and Map module IMHO.
You were called out for providing FUD and misinformation (nothing new around DP review) . Sorry if being corrected is so personally devastating to you. Maybe if you do your due diligence and get your facts straight before posting more nonsense, people like myself will not have to call out your made up facts. Maybe you'll get some respect.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
-Benjamin Disraeli
PDI stated.....And what is the purpose of Lightroom without the Development Module? From a real photographers point of view - nothing. ....
I beg to differ .... even without the development tools this software is EVERYTHING to what I do. My Lightroom catalogue may be the single most important piece of "equipment" I own. THE digital asset management tools and my catalogue are central to my entire photography practice. I actually find the development tools part of the interface rather clunky to use because of its vertical stacking and the inability to tear off modules and place them on another monitor. Batch operations are great though.
You have two versions to choose from (I need not go into the details... you know what they are)... You have three god damn options (subscribe / not subscribe and get the stand alone version and NOT GET ANYTHING). Just because you paid for it doesn't mean anything other than the LEGAL document you've agree to when you started using it. That's with all software. They've changed how they want to do business. Don't be such a spoiled and ignorant person. You bought it, but that doesn't mean you necessarily get to do whatever you want with it. It's always been that way!
Hugo808, the subscription plan has been hugely successful for Adobe. Same for many of it's customers. You don't want to subscribe; don't. I don't care, I suspect other's here don't either.
All that you and PDL have posted is nearly completely absurd. The absurd is the last refuge of a pundit without an argument.
dididog - In reading your profile it appears that you are a true believer/advocate for adobe. I.E. an Adobe shill.
Your constant attempts to belittle, misrepresent and use personal attacks is something I would think you would try to keep hidden from your customers/clients. I agree that respect is earned, but looking at your method of earning respect as described in your comments is questionable. Insults are not the way to earn respect, unless you are running for President.
>>In reading your profile it appears that you are a true believer/advocate for adobe. I.E. an Adobe shill.
As I stated, the absurd is the last refuge of a pundit without an argument. You can read into whatever you wish about my bkgnd, the facts are the facts: YOU got them all wrong ala what happens if you stop subscribing and you can stick with whatever opinion you have about not subscribing. Meanwhile, the facts you can't accept are this: the subscription model has been a huge success for Adobe. So your take is, all those customers are rubes. Got a mirror? It is pretty easy to belittle the nonsense you've provided here; you've got very few if anyone else supporting this silly view.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own made up facts about what happens when you stop subscribing. Never been wrong before PDL? Never called out? Get over it. If you get the facts straight, you'll not be called out for fabrications of your own making.
Not for PDL or Hugo808 or other fact deniers but....
"Adobe's Creative Cloud has been available for 3½ years now and continues to gain strong adoption in the marketplace, the latest published figures show.
Paid membership continues to accelerate – adding a record 833,000 new subscribers in the past quarter (almost 65,000 new customers each week) – which means that total number of subscribers has now surpassed 6.1 million since the CC product line replaced Creative Suite in June 2013".

>>In reading your profile it appears that you are a true believer/advocate for adobe. I.E. an Adobe shill.
At least I have a profile and practice full transparency unlike you, hiding behind an alias, no link or info about you.
For all we know, you worked in a Marketing department for an Adobe competitor!
What we do know now is this; you don't know much about how Adobe's LR subscription works, what happens once you stop subscribing. Hopefully you learned something factual about how it now works.
While I do admit that my statement about not being able to open LR when you stop your subscription, although to my way of thinking disabling the Development Module is essentially the same thing. I was a user of RawShooter the foundation of LR and I was using the Beta versions of LR since the get go.
I have worked with organizations using subscription based software distribution (Document management on Apollo Workstations - $5,000 per year per seat) and I am well aware of the effects when license fees are dropped/missed. Yet another reason to not fold into that module.
As for not being able to find out who I am - Bing/Google is your friend, if you take a minute or two to look.
Take my "Alias" and location from my profile and find out who I really am.
You will be amazed. :)
>>While I do admit that my statement about not being able to open LR when you stop your subscription, to my way of thinking disabling the Development Module is essentially the same thing.
Normally I'd ask: your joking right? But after this many posts, it's clear your a fact denier and not to be taken seriously.
IF you believe that being able to access the DAM, print, build slide shows and web galleries but not Develop and Maps IS THE SAME as not being able to open the app itself, I can't agree, other's didn't agree and I think you're a bit confused about what it means to not be able to open/launch the app.
What you posted was was flat out wrong! Deal with it.
As for trying to find you, doesn't change the fact that you're here, posting with a alias with ZERO transparency.
I'm sorry that reality and facts continue to ruin your life. If indeed, ignorance is bliss, you must be a in a continual state of ecstasy! Can we be done with this foolishness of yours?
RawShooter was NOT the foundation of Lightroom! ACR was, long before LR which was released on January 9, 2006. Mark Hamburg who was Photoshop's daddy (along with Thomas Knoll but a bit later) began work on LR in 1999! More facts to deny.
I was using both alpha's of LR and Photoshop long, long before you sir.
Need help!!! I have Lightroom 6.0 stand alone and want to download the 6.4 upgrade and can't find the download location.
To be clear, there is NO upgrade price to go from 6.x to 6.4. That is an incremental upgrade and is free. Upgrade prices are only for 5.x and earlier to 6.x.
For those having issues with installing try opening 6.3 and using the Help --> Upgrade menu item. It has always worked flawlessly for me on my Mac. The Adobe website is as bloated and convoluted as their software, good luck finding anything there.
Is there any chance that Adobe Lightroom will be available in standalone in Lightroom 7?
There's always a chance. When CC was announced Adobe indicated on their blogs that it was their intention to keep LR available standalone indefinitely. But corporations change their directions now and then and it's not a legal binding promise. There's always the risk that LR7 won't be available in perpetual license. Thankfully there are enough alternatives out there that it might keep Adobe from going that route.
Except that the upgrade cost is only $79 typically for the standalone. AND if you don't need the upgrade you can skip the upgrade indefinitely if you don't need e new feature or new profiles. So you are potentially paying zero per year versus a forced $120 a year, at which if you stop paying you lose the software....
I typically buy the standalone when I need it, upgrade if I want, if I miss the upgrade, I'll wait until I need the next major version (when I get a new camera). In the end I pay much less than $120/year.
I already own a standalone photoshop, and guess what since I have owned it for years and it is "stand alone" I can still use it for 0/year.
This boundary wrap function is amazing .. thanks Adobe for not creating a new LR version just for that..
Yeah soorrry my badd!!
I am disappointed .. but to be fair, why should they give me new features for free? I will wait for ver 7, as don't wanna get into subscription and dont need Photoshop. Maybe if Adobe offer a subscription only for Lightroom at a lower monthly cost, I will take it.
Still, I'd wait for alternative RAW developers like Capture One. They were still superior to even the latest versions of Adobe's stuff last time (some 1-2 months ago) I checked. That is, if you want absolutely the best IQ out of your X-Trans sensor, you may want to ignore Adobe atogether.
True Menneisyys ..
Either ignore Adobe or Fuji XTrans.
Too bad both are too tempting to ignore ..
yes, but still the same muddy filiage and missinfg fine details. just tried to convert some X-Pro2 files from the DPR gallery
Trying to update desktop (not CC) LR 6.3, it seems the Adobe site forces me to subscribe to CC first. Any clues or links, please, on how to update desktop LR 6.3 to 6.4 without becoming a CC subscriber? Many thanks!
I launched LR 6.3 standalone, went to Help-Updates, the 6.4 appeared. I selected to update and it downloaded/installed the update in a couple minutes.
The CC and 6.3 version are the same file for downloading, and when you update, it will transform into the correct version depending on the previous one on your computer. P.S. This is why 3rd party plug-ins for features missing from the standalone version, for example, LR Haze, work
For me Help-Updates seems to so absolutely nothing!
I have yet to make a successsful Panoramic image in CC2015. Everytime I do it fails for some reason
I use panorama very succesfuly even from handheld shots but you do need to start from reasonably good alignment. Only time it fails for me is where for example i've shot frrom a moving boat and the perspective alignment of objects in the frame has changed too much for alignment. Even then if shot quickly in succession i have had success,
Usually It is hand held with a bit of overlap and I get an error message fails to align.
I've been using Photoshop for a long time to stitch panoramas, without much problems... Lightroom has been good too but sluggish.. I'm just downloading the latest update, hopefully it'll be faster.
When shooting the panorama photos:
Disable Auto-ISO ... make sure exposure is about as equal throughout the set as possible...
I shoot 95% of the panos VERTICAL at usually 30-35mm focal length. this gives far less distortion to begin with than say shooting at 24. also Verical will not yield those oddly wide panos.
Try to get about 1/3-1/4 of an overlap... I usually try to map out some sort of "horizon" to follow ...
I found that the more horizontal offset there is, the more problems are bound to arise during stitching... also the less distortion the individual frame has, the more "natural" looking the pano will be.
Also I try to avoid those 20-shot panoramas - most I do usually have like 3-5 shots.
"Usually It is hand held with a bit of overlap and I get an error message fails to align."
For some optics, there are 3D-printed panorama axes, which make it much easier to shoot proper (horizontal, one-row) panoramas. For example, the Fuji 18-55 has Panohood: http://ad-3d.com/panohood/
"Disable Auto-ISO ... make sure exposure is about as equal throughout the set as possible..."
Yup, everything must be manual and fixed(!!). This is how I have shot my pretty high-quality panos with the Fuji X-E1 + 27mm combo. (See https://photosynth.net/userprofilepage.aspx?user=excellenceinpanorama )
Just released, too, is the latest version of Silkypix Developer Studio Pro, version 7.
While the English terminology used throughout the application (their website https://silkypix.isl.co.jp/en/product/dsp7/ is not better, either) is still gruesome, it does have its merits and it keeps getting better from version to version. (Maybe the developers simply need more feedback from English-speaking customers before they feel coerced to employ a capable English translator...)
Silkypix has a tradition of being rubbished by reviewers all over the Net, but I still have not found a Raw converter I would consider better for my purposes and for the cameras I use (mostly Olympus), with Lightroom being no exception. Silkypix (including version 7) even runs on my cheap netbook, which needed a thorough display calibration before becoming usable for image processing at all, though.
for Fuji Xtrans, Silkypix 7 has the most accurate colours and the most refined detail resolution without artifacts. A previous major weakness, highlight recovery is now a good deal better. Gradient and radius filters have been added. It's a shame that the Japlish interface has given it a bad name because this version is really very good and has become my first preference
I find SilkyPix Pro better for both my Oly and Fuji files than Adobe.
With everyone complaining about anything Adobe, how the heck do they stay in business? Oh, yeah... Best editing tools out there.
Most used is not the same as best tool.
You forget that LR integrates as the best application into the complete CC suite.
But if you do NOT use any other applications except for Lightroom then its also better to stay away from it.
People felt for Lightroom because it was made by Adobe.
If it was made by "Yungbo Software Company" - Nobody would be using it and each would say how awful it is compared to what Adobe then probably had.
Actually, Don, people were using something called Raw Shooter that was great. The conversion engine of RS was bought by Adobe and put into LR, so many of the early LR users were former Raw Shooter users who got a big discount (maybe even free, I don't remember exactly) on LR 1. That's how they "fell" for LR.
Richardkra reminded me of that bit of history--that Lightroom grew out of Adobe's acquisition of a company that made the Raw Shooter software line--which you can read about here:
The most interesting part was that the Raw Shooter creators reportedly ALSO did substantial work on (early versions of?) Capture One.
I remember using the free Raw Shooter Essentials back in the day. It had some significant advantages.
Now how much of Raw Shooter and its advantages remains in Lightroom 6 is hard for me to say. I have LR 6, but prefer and use DxO Optics Pro 10 more often--for a variety of reasons, some of which are particular to my own workflow and needs.
Adobe took from RawShooter not basic conversion engine (it was ACR 2003, long before RSP), but interface and workflow. And now it is still here - The only difference in ALR 6.4 interface compared to RawShooter Pro (2006) is that photo stripe placed under photo window, while in RSP it was above main window by default.
I believe that Adobe used more than just the interface and workflow from RS. If I am not mistaken, some of the adjustments such as Clarity, came from Pixmantec.
Then LR is still the same sh!tty product it was back then ;)
Is the gif at the top a joke?
Just look at how tilted/distorted the hill on the left becomes after the pano is "straightened."
Yeah, sadly nobody cares about accuracy anymore, just that it looks good and 'clean'. Got a distracting person or tree in the picture, heck just remove it, or put it somewhere else. Just look at all the top images of most photo sharing sites, everything's fake! Who needs photography skills when you've got photoshop ..
I was tricked by adobe, I guess. I purchased the stand alone LR6, installed it on 2 computers, then my son needs a LR so I thought why not subscribe the CC? After I subscribed the CC, adobe blends both LR6 and CC into one. So I ended up paying twice and still have only two computers with LR...
same problem
Have you tried calling them?
After the fiasco with the "new and easier to use" upload page and after LR came to a screeching to a halt on my Mac, I went back to the standalone version 6.0. It works.
I am now utterly terrified to download any update from Adobe.
800% Faster, yet 1200% slower!
ADOBE www is a pain in the a.. ... complicated, slow and to find something is simply impossible ... online support is a joke!
Lightroom upgrade price of $79.00 is nowhere visible on ADOBE www site ...
The upgrade for desktop (non-CC) versions is $79 on Adobe's website.
Click on Upgrade in the dropdown menu.
Thank you to those who have posted direct links to the download pages for Lightroom and DNG Converter.
Adobe is doing its best to get people to buy into CC, and I do not agree with that business model, but I've used Lightroom for six years and it is difficult to get into another processor that lacks Lightroom's features.
Lightroom will only update to the next iteration of each version. Lightroom 4 will do an internal update to 4.3 or 4.4, but will not display an upgrade download for the Lightroom 5 or 6.
I'm still on 4.4, as I usually skip every second version and use DNG Converter if necessary in the meantime.
My first lightroom was 4 (this had one of the best noise reduction and you can use it on the paint brush). I was forced to upgrade to 5 because of my new camera, d750 at the time. 5 is a useless upgrade, but I don't wan to convert from nikon raw converter. 6 was the one I wanted because of the new features, HDR, panorama, and building vertical correction (like tilt shift lens). 6 is a worthly upgrade since it replaced my photoshop for "some" layering, photomerge, hdr and architecture photo stuff. I don't like adobe policy but hey have the best editor out there and I tried most of the competition.
Is it any faster? Recently ditched Lightroom 6 for Capture One due, in part, to how slow LR6 ran on my computer. Just curious, no desire to go back.
What do you mean you disabled the Quick Develop? Is there someplace to disable it? I can't find it.
Thanks, found it! I am using LR CC and it is still in the same place.
Well LR 6.4 standalone crashes at start. Tried multiple updates and now full reinstall with update. Just craps out.
iMac running 10.8.5
Back to 6.3 to get work done.
Where's the URL link to the free up date?

That also means DNG Converter 9.4 is available, here's the Windows .exe download link:
Thanks, it seems that Adobe outsources its customer service for the stand-alone version.
Lightroom Journal link yet no direct download that I can find. Anyone find direct link from here or elsewhere?
Would somebody post a direct update link for LR 6.4? It is well buried on the Adobe site, if it is there. And before you ask - no, update from LR does not work for me.
Why not provide the direct downloads?
I always keep the full install files in case something craps out while shooting on location.

A proposed Bible study class for Cape Henlopen High School is causing quite a stir within the Cape community.
Some Cape school board members who recently attended a school board convention in San Diego came back with the idea after listening to a seminar there on the Bible Literacy Project.
"It's basically a textbook for the academic study of the Bible," said board member Jen Burton. "I think this would be great to have … It provides students with important history."
Vice President Spencer Brittingham and board member Sandi Minard also supported adding an elective class for high school students. The curriculum includes a textbook; Cape was offered a discount on the cost if the district makes a decision soon.
"I think the majority of kids may want this course," Brittingham said. "I'm in favor of this and am looking for further discussion and debate."
Others weren't so supportive.
Board member Roni Posner, who practices Jewish Renewal, said she is concerned with how the course would be taught and from what perspective.
"To me, attempting to teach 'bible literacy,' whatever that actually means, in public school classrooms, outside of houses of worship, is outlandish as … well, a talking snake – out of context," she said reading from a prepared statement that she presented to the board.
Audience members who spoke at the meeting were split.
Betty Deacon said the district is setting itself up for a lawsuit if it proceeds with the Bible class.
"I don't want my tax dollars paying to defend the separation of church and state," she said.
Resident Judith Nicholas agreed that she does not want taxpayer money to pay for the new Bible curriculum.
"I'm all for Bible literacy but just not in the classroom," she said. "Don't ask the taxpayer to pick up the tab."
Those who supported the Bible class said the course teaches history and shows how major biblical characters such as Noah, Adam and Eve and Moses have been referenced in major literary and art throughout the ages.
"Since so much of our history and world history is entwined in the Bible it's something that students need to know," said Kit Kennedy of Lewes.
Lewes resident Scott Daily agreed that literature is ripe with biblical references that well-learned students should know.
"If my kid can go to a school and learn about the '60s, and that's not controversial to whitewash the '60s, then I don't see why Bible literacy is an issue," he said.
Superintendent Robert Fulton was visibly irate that board members brought up a curriculum change for discussion in a board meeting bypassing normal district channels for curriculum approval.
"We won't be implementing this next year," he said. "I'm a little concerned with the approach … We don't rush to make decisions for money reasons."
Fulton said Director of Curriculum and Instruction Michael Kelley would review the Bible Literacy Project and determine if it would be an appropriate addition to the high school's social studies electives.
Board President Andy Lewis said a World Religion class could be another option to include most major religions.
"I would like our curriculum committee to look at it and study it," he said.
Common Core under fire
Another hot button topic at the meeting involved the Common Core Standards – a national program adopted by most states including Delaware to align curriculum standards. In 2010, Delaware signed on as part of the Race to the Top initiative that included a $119 million grant over a four-year period.
Minard presented the board with a resolution questioning the state's involvement in the common core standards and the lack of local representation in developing the plan. The resolution calls on Gov. Jack Markell, the state legislature and the Delaware State Board of Education to withdraw from the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
