I`d think that with the updates and your set up you`d be ok as is.

That's what I've found so far, but I'm no expert. Always looking for the better mousetrap, but I've been bitten before on software claims, therefore the questions.

I can fully understand the questions, I was the same so had a trial version of it and liked it. I am hoping that Topaz answer my email so I can get it for myself.

Waiting, waiting.... for a delivery, and as soon as I get up and start doing something they'll show up. Meanwhile I could just about doze off, this darn respiratory stuff!

I don't use Paypal much either. There was a class action suit and I was one of the people affected. Related to them making it so at a certain point you had to get their credit card or allow access to your bank account info. No and no. Reason I was using Paypal a lot was after the stroke started doing online shopping for supplies which seemed just as well instead of using my credit card directly. At least it made them knock it off and they changed the site and that practice. That was like the third one I got a letter about... just sitting here minding my own business and get class action suit checks!

OK I'm getting up before I'm asleep sitting here!

Hi y'all. I got to assemble two bbq pits.
Even the smallest one took over an hour.
A wee bit over 8 hours today. And Trish wants me to build another larger one.
Haven't yet been where the computer is but I am confident it will be working. The Angels sure seem to have the Astros number....

My ex's cousin stole her Mom's Amex card when she was 18 and bought herself some breast implants.

Nobody posted the obvious response . . . Pics or it didn't happen!

Topaz Denoise is incredible. Worth some hassle, IMO. I got an email yesterday that they are having a 40% off sale.

Good to know. I'm trying to remove some high-ISO noise from shots a geo-friend took of the Aurora in Iceland.

Just came in from walking through the apple trees, and image my surprise when I found apples!!! Actually quite a few little apples, no bigger than the end of my finger, but apples none the less. Considering the spring we've had we were lucky to have blooms (they're still blooming). Guess that means I'll have to start spraying once the rain stops.

Dodger Stadium - day game today. Visiting family on a short vacation.

It is worth getting, as imo it is the best one on the market

But "why specifically", what does it do that I can't already do???? I have a ton of LR presets that I've either downloaded, bought, or built custom, same with actions in PS. I've used and like the Nik Collection in LR for some time, but now since the latest update to LR with it's intelligent "auto button", and the "Profiles", I rarely use it or need it. So again what specifically would it do for me that I'm missing now?

I posted this in a series of photos shot last week. 9 pm at night, no lights, on the side of a mountain, and a very heavy crop. ISO 25600, f/4.5, 1/30 hand held. Is there noise yes, but some of that is the texture of the mountain behind. All in all I'm not sure that it could have been less noisy.

If you’re happy with your current denoise software, no need to spend money! If you’re curious, they probably offer a free trial? I can’t recall...

My seats for Friday’s sox game.

Did I mention they are free?

Nice! That’s about where we sit when my friend gets seats for us through his nephew who is facilities director for Fenway Park. That’s also where the visiting team’s players seats are so be prepared for some opposition! Are you Sox or NYY fan? Can never tell with you CT people. Before you answer...Don’t disappoint me.

And...the B’s just tied it up 4-4 v Leafs in game 7!!!!!

It’s definitely better to just use your credit card than use PayPal. You’re much more protected that way and for returns it takes out the middleman. PayPal is really only good if you’re doing a private transaction with somebody that you can’t exchange cash with or if you’re buying something from a site that you do not trust with your credit card info

GOOOOOOOOOAL!

The neighbor's cherry tree has one bloom. It has until Fri at 2pm to be in full bloom. The guests may not notice I am absent for a bit.

Morning all, well the rain has cleared and it is now just cloudy so hope the sun comes out. Had a good talk with paypal and it seems their security does not like topaz at all so as I have enough editing software I dont need to buy the denoise at all.

Topaz Denoise is incredible. Worth some hassle, IMO. I got an email yesterday that they are having a 40% off sale.

Yesterday I sent a polite email to Topaz, woke up this morning to see I had a reply from them and it is all sorted now. So thank you very much Topaz, great service.

This was taken last week, but just had a call saying my mum has had another fall so I am all over the place at the moment.

Sorry to hear this.
I hope it goes well for her.

Sorry to hear that Dave. Hope she is ok.

My mom, 75, is pretty active - to the point where I worry that she is exhausting herself. Actually haven’t heard from her since Sunday as she is off on a seniors bus tour of Nashville and Memphiswith sone friends. I know she must be having fun if she hasn’t called us! Hopefully she’s having fun on one of those pedal bike moving taverns.

Sox fan by birth. My grandfather was born in Wellesley the same year that Fenway Park opened, went to Boston schools, and got his engineering degree from MIT. There was never an option, haha.

The company my brother works for picked up 4 season tickets as part of their "morale" program this year. Hopefully, we'll get a couple games in.

Football is more ambiguous because there were no family ties. My Dad is from Minnesota and is a Vikings fan, and the Giants became his local team because he had a friend with season tickets back in the Phil Simms era. I still have some old, old threadbare Superbowl t-shirts from the 80s.
