Hope your ankle gets better soon. Feet up and keep testing! You need a laptop that is as good as your desktop.

Sorry to hear that, I had one once, really painful.

The doctor touched the affected area and I almost hit the ceiling. Gave me a pill and I must have passed the stone. The pill seemed to dilate my system, I went warm all over, then the pain eased.

I believe they can be broken down with ultrasonics now.

Hoping Jan can get some quick relief. :needsahug:

Eric I keep noise reduction on normal and agree that 4000 ISO is the point of no return. I try with D500 and D850 not to use anything above 2500 ISO. As stated several times I think D850 copes slightly better with noise than to D500 but not a lot in it. D850 copes much better with noise in deep shadow.

Hope this dull weather goes away I'm in the Kingfisher hide on Wed the 2nd with D850 and the new 500mm lens.

Well I have at last conceded that if I wish to photograph birds in the typical UK weather I will have to use ISO levels that camera manufacturers consider HIGH. ( despite those being only 1/10th of the iso range on offer)

And that at those 'high' iso's ( 2000-5000) I will need to use some form of noise reduction.

Setting the camera at Normal when shooting jpeg maybe all that's needed on some occasions. But as it applies the NR universally across the image it may cause some loss of subject detail.

The only alternative to this is to shoot in raw and using selective masking, to remove the noise from around the subject.

Apart from my annoyance that we are being shortchanged by the sensor manufacturers, the need for this post processing creates a dilemma as to choice of method.

I had been hoping to switch to using my iPad Pro for this processing, but in the absence of a full fat Photoshop programme for the iPad (supposedly coming in 2019) I have been familiarising myself with Affinity Photo. It's very good! Layers, lots of familiar functions and even raw converter....except it won't open the D500 raw files.
:banghead:

I am therefore reluctantly leaning towards powering up the desktop and signing up for the Photoshop subscription. I have got Nikon NX that opens my raw files but compared to Camera Raw it is woeful for masked editing.

I realise there are other desktop alternatives to Photoshop but its the devil I know and in the absence of a full workflow capability on the iPad I don't see any point In looking for something new ...just for the desktop.

If Adobe DO release a full iPad version Photoshop (with raw converter for their latest cameras!!) later this year I will consider a switch. But for the moment I am either going to muddle through with JPEGs ....or lock myself away in the now depressing office :'( for the foreseeable future.

Eric, I am sure Affinity Photo supports Nikon D500 RAW files.

If you want to continue using Photoshop CS6 AND have latest RAW support then you need to use MetaRAW.

I works just like ACR.

THANKS JONTHAN:bowing:

I revisited my workflow and found that it was me importing nefs into iPad (photos) and trying to bring them into Affinity from Photos didn't work.

But when I import them straight from my passport drive (WiFi) into Affinity it works :cheers::cheers:

Here's one from the nef...
