    Extension tubes

    Am I correct in assuming that using extension tubes interrupts the auto focus capability? Do they also have an effect on the metering?

    Lightroom 6 import question

    I have collected all the RAW files on my computer into one folder in .nef format. I am trying, and failing, to get LR6 to import them. They appear as icons in the import window but are "grayed" out and the software will not select them. What am I doing wrong?

This happens with all of my lenses. Of course it could just be my old eyes or my lack of experience with the camera, but I would...

    A question about large prints

    I'm printing some 8"x10" prints at home that I am quite pleased with but would like to get some larger ones done for framing. I'm thinking approximately 20"x15" to fit some nice frames I already have. What size of file (presumably .jpg) would a professional printing house require to produce a...

    Guidence and advice needed

    I have Photoshop Elements (PSE) 13 which I bought recently to replace a copy of 5 that came free with my wife's point and shoot several years ago. Having briefly tried some basic editing with it, I'm not sure it was the correct buy. I guess my problem is that I don't understand many of the...
