Thank you!!

I looked for the equivalent settings on my iMac but was not able to find them.

Thanks, Damien, it is the Photo Downloader in Adobe Bridge.

Hi Damien, is there a way to stop PSE 2020 from automatically uploading all the photos from my iPhone 7 whenever I plug it into my 2013 iMac? I cannot find an Advanced Options in the Photo Downloader box. Thanks, David

Hi Brian, I am running Catalina on my 2013 iMac. Do you have a recommendation for a hard drive backup for my many photos and saved documents? From what I read about Seagate, they are not reliable. Many thanks, David

Wonderful, Brian! Thanks so much, I’ll get straight to work.

This is the photo with the specs I sent you.

Nikon 5600 with an AF-S 24-120mm lens. The idea is to photograph my wife’s acrylic on canvas paintings and have iPrintfromhome.com make a Giclee print that looks as good as the painting, to send to paying customers. I bought a $34 ring light, suitable for zoom meetings, for lighting. ?I shot on Manual at about a 2 foot distance, on a cheap tripod. Settings on Fine, ISO 500, f/22.0 using the light meter. I have Photoshop Elements 2020 on my 2013 iMac to do adjustments. The photos looked great on my calibrated screen, but the 16x20” print I had done came back out of focus and with no contrast, very dull (the file was 30MB at 300 ppi). So there it is. I am shooting in my apartment, there is ambient light coming in the window, but this is the best I can do with no studio. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Brian, I’m back! And ready for your lighting recommendations. I tried being creative at home and wound up with horrible results. Can you please tell me what I need in the way of lighting to get the crisp, focused results I need? I know I’ll have to spend an arm, but maybe save my leg? Thanks Brian.

Hi Damien, I paid for Kim’s class yesterday but cannot access it here. Possible problem: I gave a different username to her than mine on the forum. Can you let her know? I am eager to start her course. Thank you, David

Great, thanks Brian.

I’m ready to order the tripod and ball mount and plate. I assume I will need a different L-bracket for the D5600 from the one you recommended for the D850? Really appreciate your help Brian.

Got the D5600 (body only) and the 24-120 f/4g ED VR lens.

Thanks Brian. I will visit the camera shop and see which brand works for me. Then I will purchase the Canon glass you recommend, or its Nikon equivalent. Got to have those sharp photos! I will let you know. Thanks again.

Already ordered from B&H. Thanks again Brian.
