Very well done Kev, cracking shot too.

Playing about with some acrylic perplex I got today.

Well done Rick.

Hi Phil, don`t know if this will help or not but I never save for the web after using LR6 and PSE 15 as once I am happy with the edit I resize then Save As.

Thank you very much Kev, I will get that one then. Just looking at whether to also get the Sharpen as it seems good.

Hi Kev, as you know I have the Topaz Studio thanks to you. I have the following plugins from last year, Clarity, Adjust and Detail that are working great in Studio, I have tried Denoise in the past and like it but I have noticed in Studio that I can buy Noise Removal cheaper so what would you suggest ?

Thanks for this FUJI, I use Nik Collection a lot so next time I go into it I will give the Brush a try.

An interesting video that FUJI, when I had a DSLR I use to always use one of my zooms for street/people shots and just change the lens down till I used the 50mm. Then when I switched over to all fuji X I got the XF 35mm f2 that is now on my X-T2 and I love to use that. Like you I am always on the look out and try to focus on what people are up too, with my camera always in my hand I can switch on get it to my eye and get the shot.

This is only my thought but, I have always thought that Critique is strong and that Feedback might be better.

Hi Leon, have a look at Godox as they are very good and under £100 on Amazon.

A great choice for POTW, it really is a fantastic photo and very well taken so well done Stravinsky.

Thank you Kev, here`s another quick try. I think I am going to really like using Studio once I get my head round it all.

I agree, I think Phil might need to go to Spec savers lol

With the great help that Kev gave me, I have managed to get Topaz Studio up and running so I feel like a BIG kid right now with a new toy haha. This is just a very quick try using LR 6 then Studio, it will be a nice learning curve too but I look forward to it.

The really strange thing about it all is, every time I tried to register using Google Chrome it would not let me. So this time I tried to register Topaz Studio, I used my Edge browser and it flew through, so thanks again.

When I logged out I just got that same one up, and it downloaded, but this time I registered using my Yahoo account and YES it came up and with my Topaz plugins too. Thanks very much for the help Kev, as now I can really look forward to giving Studio a good try

That would be a great help if you can Kev, wonder why it happens so much with not letting folk register.

Someone did say that it could be done, but I needed the other link to manage to register. As you say, it is a shame.

I sent a message to them too last year but they never got back, so after changing my password four times I gave up.

I have the Topaz plugins, Detail,Clarity and Adjust. I am having the 30 day trial on B&W Effects, but the thing that really bugged me was, I could not register at all for Topaz Studio, and in the end I gave up as it was very strange that it would not let me register. So I just have the plugins in both LR 6 and PSE15.

Thanks Phil, I have been told by a mate who calls me Monty, after Monty Don.

Cheers folks, me at Xmas just gone.
