Have just cancelled adobe lightroom subscription.....and editing cancelled by adobe. probably my wrong decision........but before going back to renew subscription; can the forum offer alternatives...(Pro & cons) I have canon 5d mk4 and shoot everything on raw. I used lightroom extensively for captioning & keywording. Thanks in advance for advice/viewpoints Sparks ps financial rewards from Alamy at present are depressing...so thinking now NO need to to rush to renew adobe

Thanks!!....much appreciated....looking through the forums... does seem a note of despondency...so file away under "PENDING".... Take care all Sparks

Good morning all I have received back from an Agency...(they are closing down)...a reasonable quantity of medium format, large format and some 35mm Transparencies. Work that I had about forgotten...but on examination with the benefits of lightroom some could be very viable digital files for Alamy. I no longer have scanners so that would need investment but is it financially worth it ...also the time involved....or is there a good scanning firm that produces quality scanned files. I have been with Alamy for about 10 plus years so have seen the fortunes (?) of alamy and contributors fluctuate...mainly at the moment in a downward spiral... So would appreciate your input to help me with decisions on where to go... Much appreciated Thanks SPARKS

Thanks all....it is what I was expecting.....appreciate your replies. Best regards Sparks!

Good morning All.... A quick question. I have a Canon 5d mk3...which I am considering upgrading to Mk4. I use Lightroom 5.7.1 for raw to tiff to max jpeg for Alamy…. If I get the Canon 5d mk4....do I have to up date lightroom software or can I continue to use what I have?? Thank you Hope we are all coping with covid...best regards to all Sparks!!

Betty thank you very much for your advice....I agree with your comments ref birds as I try lens out shooting back garden from kitchen door....the sooner I am outside the better....but already very happy with lens performance... Best regards Sparks!

Again Good morning ... I went ahead & bought Canon 100-400 L with UV filter. After reading the relevant sections from Canon MK3 handbook ….being more perplexed after reading it... I would seek advice for field tested,, best settings eg focus field...for use with 100-400 L lens. I'm already trying and enjoying lens but what of those with far better experience than I amongst Alamy photographers. I appear to be settling down for good dose of flu...my family says man flu...so plenty of time to read. PS I am not intending it for sports...but Nature, maritime, travel work. Thanks to all Best regards Sparks!

To everyone that has contributed to this thread....THANK YOU...have sat and read through everything...much appreciated. Best regards SPARKS!

Good morning all, I am considering purchasing 100-400 L series lenses.....while reading reviews etc I came across the comments that UV, 1a, filters, degrade image from pin point sharpness... I have always purchased filters to protect front elements....cheaper to replace filter than entire lense ...all my lenses are L series ….I was wondering how many of us use these protective front end filters and on what lenses /focal lengths, and how many don't....and their reasoning either way.. ..Thanks for replies.
