Thanks so much Brian. Huge help. I'll hold off until October and hope you don't mind but will contact you then and see what I should get. I don't see my computer lasting until next April

Hi Brian, I have CF express type b card (San Disk 128 GB) that when I put it in the ProGrade card reader, gets hot pretty quickly. I notice it when I take it out. Anything I should worry about. I am thinking I should have another card on hand - it is my only one. Any card in particular that you recommend? Also, I am holding off on getting a new computer until later this year. Is there anything new about buying a computer that you haven't said in the Jan-Apr. note that you made or will you be making an update? As usual, thanks a million!

Hi Damien. I think I have been doing my editing all in the wrong place but don't know how to do it properly. I have been taking my images from SD via card reader, browsing in Bridge. Then I determine sharpness etc, filter words on them. Then I either take them to ACR , do what I need to do and then copy to an ext. hard drive. Or I find an image on my ehd that I want to work on, take to ACR and PS. Then save back to ehd. I think I am supposed to take images from SD card and take those to computer hard drive, yes? I am not even sure how to do this at this point. Then take image from there, work on it and then save to ehd. Help. I am feeling pretty stupid, I am afraid.

Ok. Thanks so much.

I have done the cloning. I am wondering if this looks like halo now? Your opinion is much appreciated. This is the first time I have ever done this, so afraid I'm asking all these questions.

Of course! I'll give it a try again. Thanks Damien.

I have this pic of a dog that I am working on. Seems to me there is CA around dog. I have tried using eyedropper for defringing and that isn't working. "Clicked area is too neutral". I tried cloning but seems to me that I have to be exquisitely precise and that too wasn't working. Any ideas are most appreciated.

Ah, I see. I was so thrown by the message, I didn't think. Yep, it is there. Thank you so much.

When I double click on it in the downloads, this is what shows up.

I am feeling rather stupid, I'm afraid. I don't understand how to get your action into my Photoshop programme. I can download it to "Downloads" or my "Desktop" but I have no idea where to go from there. Sorry. Also, I have a Mac.

Thanks Brian. I'll look at those in the future. For now, I had some scrap wood around and built a shelf to hold one of my ehd's and the other sits underneath it.

Thanks and great suggestion about the Rubbermaid thing

Hi Brian, very quick question. I have 2 - 4tb Ehd's (G-Drive's). Can I stack one on top of the other or is that bad for them? Thanks!

Thanks so much for your prompt reply Brian. I was able to order it today I am returning the other card reader tomorrow.
