Calibration was a success. no problems. Test prints matched pretty good. 1st time the RGB numbers were right on point without adjustments.

Got the apple cable and fixed the problem! I just got it for the G-drive since right now the SanDisk one is working. Thanks for you help!

I am taking a look at the Gs Richcopy website, and users reviews, sounds good . Will try the trial vesion .

If you prefer a third-party tool, besides Gs Richcopy360, there are robust options that offer advanced features, reporting, and a simpler user interface : ShareGate or Goodsync : Data migration tools known for its user-friendly interface, comprehensive reporting, and strong capabilities in handling content and security mapping between on-premises file shares and SharePoint Online.

Yeah...that's not gonna work, well not the way you are thinking. It's the NTFS and ACL Permission stuff that you are wanting, it's gonna be a bit of a PITA. SharePoint online mapping isn't automatic and you will likely have to deal with users/groups permissions. Your best bet is to use the Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool. Or try GS RichCopy 360. It's been awhile since I messed with this sort of thing. I think you should search out some FB Computer Networking Groups to see if someone has already done this as my current knowledge is limited.

This is a 4th defective panel. I would return it and choose a different Make/Model. Monitors that are too blue, will make things look too cool, which then makes you overcompensate warming things up. Don’t live with this problem. Find another IPS Display.

I've moved this thread into Brian's area because he's much more intelligent than me. I suspect your 2080 might not be strong enough, but I don't know.

Nah doesn't work I'm in contact with Calibrite and they are helping me out atm, but thanks

I'd say you might have to make sure you don't have ANY other programs open (particularly Photoshop) while using Bridge. And restart pretty frequently.

Worked like a charm, exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!

Try this, but no promises. https://www.damiensymonds.net/act_cellulite.html

Mine just arrived. Thanks!

Nah stay out of it 😂

I'll send you an email about this.

I believe that Goodsync is free for personal use, but if you are backing up Servers and such, you need to pay for it. See here for more info. Richcopy 360 looks to be about $50 for personal use. Unfortunately, I haven't really touched a Server since before COVID, and haven't used either programs. I'd try Goodsync since it's free, and I think you can try Richcopy for a period of time, but $50 for a utility program that works is not that bad.

It's definitely not great, but it should sharpen up okay.

Worked like a charm! Thank you for the detailed instructions.

That's the current version of the HD that I own, though I have heard mixed reviews about the current G-Drives since Sandisk bought them. Regardless, I'd still buy one. Give it a shot. Let me know when you get one, I want to make sure the partition is setup correctly.

I just updated to the latest (14.5) in hopes it will be better than the 💩 14.4. Auto updates are off and from what I've seen, I'm probably gonna stay there for a while. On a side note... Win 11 sucks 😅 Thank you for all of your help, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

If this doesn't make it better... I swear to baby Jesus I'm moving to Mac. I'll be editing tonight and report results tomorrow.

Thanks. I ordered 2 Lenovo laptops. A new model with specs to grow into and a Certified Refurbished one that is one gpu level below the one that went bad. It will be my travel box. old one was a 4070 gpu this is a 4060. The new one will be a 5070. Think that will hold me. Also, PLEASE don't let WINDOWS do your firmware updates. it makes BRICKS.

Well, maybe not a 5070, but since the 4070 cards are tough to find...so the short answer is: Yes. Or quit upgrading each and every time when Adobe releases a new version. Remember, Adobe Photoshop is a Professional Program. Lightroom is to a degree. In either case, all the stupid AI Crap they keep adding to add "Value" so you keep your Subscription active, compounds the problem. Adobe expects you to have a current computer, with current hardware...and that is usually on a 2-3 year cycle. This is why I recommend such expensive and powerful computer setups, for both Mac & Windows; I'm not only building a computer that will run the current version of PS/LR, but one 3-5 years from now...maybe even around the 7 year mark. You also have to keep in mind, the NVIDIA RTX 3070 was released at the end of October in 2020. That's almost 5 years! Video Cards are now "Computers within Computers," so you have a 5 year old Computer, that identifies as a Video Card, and the current version of PS / LR is killing it. Same difference if we were talking about a 5 year old CPU. Make sense? At this point you have two options: Upgrade your Video Card to at least a NVIDIA RTX 4080 with 8-12GB of Dedicated Video RAM. (That's if you can find one.) Also use the NVIDIA Studio Drivers, which are meant for Adobe's Products. Downgrade your LR / Photoshop to the last version that worked well AND STAY THERE UNTIL YOU GET BETTER HARDWARE. Remember, Adobe's Products have changed; it's not CS6 any longer...where you can run it for almost a DECADE without worrying about Hardware. Now with each and every major release, your Hardware becomes obsolete quicker. Years ago, PS would do a Major Update every 4 years or so, with a incremental update around 2 years. Now you'll get a whole new version every year and things just move so much faster. For example, Adobe could release a major update in October, come out with the mid-version around Feb/March and then release the next version in that August (or whatever.) Instead of 4-5 years, you are getting whole version upgrades within 10 months or so, instead of 4 years. See how things are now? At the end of the day, it's all about money. Whether it's Adobe or Hardware Manufacturers, Hell...even Microsoft with Windows 11 is forcing people to buy new Hardware for it to run well. It never ends. It's only money, right?

"IPS Level" means "not IPS".

That's what I figured. I'll look into them, thank you. At 6 years old, probably better to save my money for a new computer than fix at Apple.

Yeah, that might be better.

That's Brilliant Thanks so much! 🙂

Phew! I'm glad I asked! I literally spent hours searching for all the right specs, and my brain was getting fried. I will get that one and remember to turn off the ambient light sensor. I am not a mac user, I am ordering a new PC as well, but I just went to Dell and added in all the stuff you wrote about in this thread -- Thank you!

There are a number of ways you could have done it, and yes, this is one. Looks good. I am SO glad you asked this. Lots of people never even think of it. The number of time I see an out-of-focus sky replaced with an in-focus one, it makes me sick. I can't tell from this distance whether you need to blur it or not. But if you think you do, don't ignore than instinct. Always get bigger than you need.

1. No, definitely not. 2. No, all pixel editing should be done first. Add the moon before starting levels.

No, nothing of substance has changed. Everything you learned in class is still relevant.

Yeah, that might be okay.

You should be able to do an in-place upgrade, or are you replacing the server? Personally, I haven't played with Servers and Domain Networks since Server 2019 (Before COVID.) I'm also the type to install fresh and updated copies of software and then manually migrate data over from one server to the new via an Ethernet connection. This way I can always go back in time and start again. I would never use a Sync Program to migrate to a new Server. Hell, I don't even bother with the built-in migration tools. But that's just me. To answer your question, GoodSync keeps popping up with Google. I'd start there.

We need an Enterprise sync tool for migrating servers , what do you recommend from these? I read about Goodsync and Gs Richcopy 360 , look good but I do not have experince with it

It's always been the same. I've not changed anything in a few years. LIght bulbs are white 6500k

I also have a D850, and the full resolution without and compression, at 14-bit produces around 100 MB Raw Files. (Well, ususally 98.xx or 99. xx, it's just easier to say 100MB Raw Files.) The NVIDIA Studio Drivers are meant for Adobe's Products, and the one's that you should be using. I'm not a fan of the "60" or "50" with NVIDIA's products, and prefer the "70" & "80" versions, i.e., RTX 4070 / RTX 4080. But it is what it is. The 4060's are cheap for manufacturers to install, that's why they use them. Anyway, yeah...you. might lose some stupid AI Crap, but it's not a big deal. At its core, Photoshop is still Photoshop, and it's likely you will probably never use those AI Tools, unless you go actively looking for them.

Ok, hopefully I really found the fix. I’ve been working on for well over an hour and no crashes. The screenshot is what was suggested on the adobe support form and it worked. I probably lost some AI features, but I don’t even know how to use them anyway. So for now, this totally works!

Are you sure the light in your room is bright and white enough? Room lighting is the #1 cause of non-matching.

Crisis averted. Updated to the Nvidia Studio Driver. Seems to be working good now. For now. LOL

Thanks Damien. Will reshoot instead

Also with this model, is that it has connectivity with your Mac via a USB cable. One proprietary end goes into the UPS, the other goes into a USB port. What this does is allows your Mac to "talk" to the UPS, and vice-versa, so you can set your Mac to power down when it reaches a certain level on the battery. You just have to head into your Power Settings in the macOS' Preferences. For example: I have my Mac set for 5 minutes, but you might want to set yours for 10 min if your power is often unpredictable. Oh! One thing to keep in mind, there is a "Battery Side" and a "Regular Surge Protector" Side. The Battery Side is mean for your Mac Studio, Display, and any external HDs. The Surge Protection Side is mean for things like speakers, lamps, Laser Printers, and the other non-important things. You never-ever want to hook up a Laser Printer to a UPS' Battery Side, it's too much Wattage and will kill the Batteries Prematurely. Speaking of External Hard Drives, you might find it's not easy to hook them all up, especially when dealing with Power Bricks. This is where 1 Foot Power Cables such as these come in handy: Cable Matters 2-Pack 16 AWG Heavy Duty 13A Short Power Extension Cord - 1ft, 3 Prong Power Cord Extension, NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R, Black Of course, you will need to find the equivalent by you, but I think you get the idea. Actually, I found this: UK British Standard Power M/F Extension Cord Cable,UK BS1363 Extension Cord, IEC UK 3Pin Male Plug to UK 3Pin Female Socket Power Adapter Cable,13A/250V (0.3m/1ft) You simply plug one of the Power Bricks into one of those 1 Foot Cables, then the other end goes into the UPS. They make things much easier to get things hooked up and fitting nicely. Of course, this is just a guide...PLEASE choose the correct cable for your area. I have no real-world experience with UK Power. .

Thanks for all the information Brian, I get regular power cuts in my village, so makes sense to get sorted with a decent one.

Hi Brian, my Mum's old Windows 10 computer is starting to tell her that it will cease getting support and updates from this October. It can't upgrade to W11 (I checked), so how urgently should I tell her to invest in a new computer?

Freefilesync still the best free one , also many tools are available now with full features especially for clouds like Syncback , Gs Richcopy 360 , Syncthing and Goodsync . every tool has its options which make it better , so search all

Plain lustre is fine. No texture, and definitely nothing glossy.

I am not a huge fan of this look. But to achieve it, use two blur layers at different levels of Gaussian blur, then "Levels 1" and "Photo Filter 1" to add warmth, "Levels 2" and "Levels 3" to manipulate the background light, then "Levels 4" for the matte effect and "Levels 5" (below it) for the nauseating vignette. Then lastly, "Levels 6" because I realised that the shoes were just glowing too darn much. Download the file here.
