So I easily installed the two 8gb memory sticks from OWC into my iMac, giving me a total of 20 gb along with the original 4 GB, and wow, I am simultaneously editing several 24mb photos between LR and PS with ease. The speed increase is great. Best $160 I've spent in a long while.. Can't believe I didn't do this sooner. Thanks for all the advice!

Hi All - I've been using a mid-2011 iMac 21.5" 2.5 Ghz i5, with only 4 MB of RAM. It's OK working with 80-100 LR RAW files coming from my Nikon D610, however I am now editing multiple images in Photoshop (sometimes as layers) and performance is obviously way too slow. I am not in a position to purchase a new machine right how, and I am wondering if I can get by maybe for another year upping the RAM on my current machine. Thoughts? If so, recommendations on best sources/prices? Thanks, Randy

Hello All - Yes I realize there is separate thread for website questions, but I already have a photo site up, however I am just not happy with the performance or reliability. So I am posting here as more of a business question than a technical one. I'm beginning to get the feeling that high-end pros do not use 'turn-key' sites as much as the providers of these sites seem to suggest. Am I wrong about this? I'm interested in how pros deliver their images for proofing and for the selling prints. I'm beginning to think a regular web site with galleries, combined with a separate order-fulfillment site and or dropbox or google drive might be a better way to go. Thoughts? My current photo hosting plan is feature rich, but performance and reliability IMO is low. My site was down for nearly five hours yesterday. Sometimes I am waiting between 30-60 seconds for a simple action to load in my web browser (not counting moving files, which I would expect to take longer, of course). As I begin to add up the time waiting for this service to respond I'm feeling like I'm settling for a poor performing product/service. I am attempting to go full-time now, and while these issues were not of great importance in the past, they are now of much greater importance now. Any and all thoughts are welcome, thanks! Randy -

How Can Sekonic L-358 trigger Godox AD360?
rnelson replied to rnelson's topic in Portraits & Fashion
C-watson, yes I've done that before, but it is somewhat akward. Not an issue if I have an assistant, which is not very often. Sometimes the subject holds the meter, which is ok, but doesn't solve the problem... metering backgrounds, individual lights for ratios, etc. I can place the meter on a stand, again akward. Thanks for your link, I'll reach out to sk. Gary - I have some cheap eBay triggers, and I totally forgot the remote trigger feature. I'll experiment with that. Thanks for the replies. Randy -
Hi All - it's been a while since I've been on this forum, and I'm not sure I'm posting in the best category (feel free to move this post). Does anyone know the best way to set-up my Sekonic L-358 to wirelessly trigger my Flashpoint Streaklight AD-360ii? (Same as Godox AD-360). I like the R2 tranceiver, and don't want to get into the pocket wizard thing necessarily. Any thoughts? Thanks. Randy

I have owned and used a Sekonic light meter for my studio work and sometimes in the field for portraits for the past six years. I am wondering however, if there are any pro photographers who do not use a light meter, and if so how and why. I've never used a LM for any event shooting, either shooting with natural light or on-camera flash. Thanks, Randy

After moving from LR3 to 6 I notice in ththe export section that there is a File Settings section that now has a jpg quality slider, and a separate Image Setting section. Am I correct in assuming in order to output high Rez jpgs for print, I want to set the jpg quality to maximum, 100%, and then choose whatever resolution I like (typically 300 ppi).
