• ON1 > LrC?

    Is ON1’s Photo RAW ‘better enough’ than Lightroom Classic to be worth a switch? Lightroom Classic has become my standard against which others are judged. To be worth moving to another program, it has to have something pretty good going for it.

  • 2024: The Year of the Bullets

    For my USPSA and IDPA practical shooting competitions I’ve been a huge fan and consistent user of the 1911 platform. But 8 or 10 rounds in a magazine gets old, especially in USPSA. So 2024 is going to be my year to shoot a high-capacity pistol. And there sure are a lot to choose from!

  • The Fall Updates

    Capture One, Lightroom, PhotoLab, and Photo Raw have all been updated this fall. The question for me is whether or not these changes make switching from Lightroom Classic a good choice.

  • WordPress Reconsidered

    I moved my websites off of WordPress several years ago due to the security problems I was having and the complexity of customizing themes. So I switched to Grav and found its straightforward approach was what I needed. I may be ready to use WordPress again.

  • Selecting a Post-Processor

    I’ve spent the last couple of months working back and forth between the raw processors Capture One, Lightroom Classic, PhotoLab Elite, and Photo RAW in an attempt to settle on just one going into 2024. Owning more than one is just too expensive and too complicated trying to keep edits and metadata in sync.

  • DxO PhotoLab Elite?

    I’ve been working with PhotoLab Elite over the last couple of weeks re-editing some of my better images from the last few years. The more I work with it, the more I see the missing pieces yet to be included to make it a real competitor to Lightroom Classic, Capture One, and Photo RAW.
