Thank you, guys, for your kind words. I must say I like this picture, too (although I'm surprised by 'explore').

Capture One 23 now available: Capture One photo editing software

Just installed. Now it's time to play

I skipped 22, so now eager to finally get to test panorama and HDR stitch operations. Old no longer supported and not even availeble MS ICE is ready to retire, if this is any good at stitching.

Just followed your link; I've never used CaptureOne so cannot comment on it at all really.
But wow......... why do so many people complain about adobe pricing? CaptureOne must be good to pay that much

I typically skip every other release to keep monthly expence in somewhat reasonable level, but yeah it's expensive. I'm just hooked on IQ it delivers and also used to work process.

I've moved/changed photo editors a couple of times over the last several years - finding one that produces the IQ you want and makes you comfortable in the workflow has been tricky for me....

I think I've finally found the editor that I'm comfortable with and produces the IQ that pleases me - ON1 Photo RAW

Raw Photo Editor | Buy Raw Photo Editing Software Online - ON1

I've found its panorama-stitching excellent and the handful of presets that I've created and use daily are perfect for me....

Sometime early this year I switched from Corel Aftershot Pro to DxO Photolab. There wasn't a ton to love about Aftershot, but it was really cheap. DxO is kind of the opposite - I love everything about it but jeeze, not cheap. I initially bought it for the AI noise reduction, smart lighting, Clearview, etc, but at this point I think 99% of what I do is adjust the exposure and tone curve a little. That's probably due to the good influence from this group and the daily group.

FWIW, I renewed my license for the TopazAI Suite., it is not cheap, but I feel I get my money's worth.
I haven't used it for stitching, I'm very happy with the Topaz AI tools so far. I haven't made my own presets yet.
IF you are interested, keep an eye open for a PF announcement and coupon code if you want to try it out.

Missed yesterday. My neighbor got a caravan and we had to baptise it

My Polish grandparents didn't drink much, and though I've been to Poland twice but never even knew about nalewka[ until now. I must try some on my next visit.

Whisky, or whiskey, can be great, or terrible, it really depends on the brand, and the company in which one enjoys it.

**jersey** · 11-10-2022, 05:34 AM

It is not as much taste as today morning

I suppose organism and food is set up to enjoy nalewka or vodka, not whisky. It was Finlaggan, dunno if good or bad

Taste was ok, it was a bit like Lapsang tea (smoked).

The Finlaggan Mystery | The Scotch Noob

It’s very inexpensive single malt. Most reviewers like it. Peat probably gives the smoky taste.
