Do you use both, Iain?
Yes I do, I do most of my work in Lightroom but there are still things I prefer to do in PS.

I used to use photoshop way back when it was free and I hadn't found Linux!

I don't know Lightroom but this is a screenshot of Darktable / Lighttable - it handles pretty well every type of image including RAW

I have been looking at your woodpecker shots on splash , and marvelling at the quality  especially sharpness of the images. Which camera/lens combo did you use, and how much postprocessing did you carry out?
My squirrel and pigeon just don't cut it as far as I am concerned - I took better, sharper photographs with my Canon AE-1 Program and a 300mF4L canon lens.But that was a long time ago....

Bob….in case Graham misses your questions (this is an old thread you’ve posted on)
If you click on the “Click here to comment on this image” text under each image,  another window opens with a smaller version of the image top left. Click on that smaller version and it gives access to its EXIF data….which gives you a lot of the info on the taking and making of the photo.

Lol - only if there is EXIF data to read - some editing software manages to lose it! And only on images in the topics - the splash page doesn't have that functionality, I am now just waiting for JK to request it.....:lol:

Requested as and when you have time to do it.  No hurry.

:applause: :lol:

Moved Bob's post to the Bird Photography thread so he can see Graham's posts more easily.

Following the recent post on another thread about the (not having telephoto lens with me) missed opportunity photographing a barn owl. 

I went back to the files and decided to re work one of the images using Photoshop's improved AI support.

It's never going to be anything more than a heavy crop/sectional enlargement (105mm lens) but I think PS did a better job than previous software.. Affinity Photo.

Done - new EXIF tag under each splash page image. It takes you to an original sized image with the EXIF button - as per the "comment" link.
