As a matter of course I brought my laptop with me on my recent family trip. It gives me an opportunity to play with imagery as I travel and occasionally check stuff online. WiFi access was sparse at best, but it was good to still be able to get a little editing done while on […]

June 3, 2008 Sean McCormack3 Comments on Moving files from laptop to desktop.

Over the bank holiday weekend I was in Kerry. The weather was quite variable and made for interesting shots, so I shot loads! Because I was traveling reasonably light and need to buy larger memory cards (2 Gb is really too small for a 40D), I had my laptop with me. So now I’m at […]

March 25, 2008 Sean McCormack5 Comments on The arduous process of Consolidation

December 11, 2007 Sean McCormack14 Comments on Import by date file structure.

I’ve known about the presence of audio files in Lightroom 1.1 for a little bit now, but as I don’t own a camera that can import them, I not investigated it much. Ian Lyons on the other hand, does and has. Due to his practice of converting files to DNG and deleting the audio, he […]
