Thanks Brian for the answer, I have found an external ssd drive: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MU-PA1T0B-Portable-SSD-1TB/dp/B074M774TW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=external%2Bssd&qid=1573651364&sr=8-3&th=1 Would this work for me would you know? I've tried getting hold of Lenovo but they are constantly busy

I just had a new laptop last Christmas, if I ask for another now I'll be toast! I'm only a hobby photographer so I don't want to spend too much. I'd be interested though to learn if there are any external SSD harddrives available similar to your suggestion above? - not sure I want to take apart a newish laptop. Thanks for the answer though

Ok, thanks

Can you reactivate this psd please?

Can you renew the psd for this thread please?

Does anyone know what these files are for or if I can safely delete them please? They currently take up nearly 8 gb of my ssd c drive so keen to move them if I can

My new camera, Canon EOS RP, has an in camera facility which can automatically create a 'stack' of photos starting from an initial focus point, through the image until the set number of pictures has been taken. This is done to increase the depth of field on mainly, but not solely, macro images. Photoshop does an ok job of stacking the images together but I'm currently trialling software from Helicon and it seems to do a much better job. The only issue I have is that the current Helicon software does not accept my cr3 raw files. I can create a tiff file from the rendered , stacked images which I batch converted to tiff files from cr3 files in photoshop's image processor I'm unsure about the quality of tiff files vs cr3 files and want to know if the rendered tiff file is a good quality file to use for editing in photoshop? I hope I've explained that well enough

Thanks

It's great, thank you. Will post my effort in a while

soor - what's the best way to tackle the background please? Doesn't need to be black just a little more consistent

Thanks

Not sure how or why this file has cmyk appended to it. On images properties tab it's in RGB 8 bit. I have a dozen or so jpegs I'm editing and none of the others have this on them

I've just updated to the new version of photoshop cc 2018 and my ACR has changed back to Adobe RGB from sRGB - just in case this happens to anyone else before it's too late

Ok thanks for clearing that up

Attached. They both look the same now at 100%

I've only just noticed this but when I flatten my file I lose saturation and detail. The attached images are captured using the snipping tool. Have I got something set up wrong? First file is from an unflattened PSD - the other is after flattening

got it. I was just wondering. As I said I've been watching some youtube videos and thought I'd explore this colour mode and see what your thoughts were. I can see that you don't like it - a bit like lightroom . It was confusing to follow but thank you anyway

not even if it's converted to a smart object before converting back to sRGB?

I did my raw processing first. Still a no?

Is there anything wrong with using LAB colour mode? I've read some articles and watched some videos on using it but wondered what your thoughts were

Thank you
