[QUOTE="LRAT, post: 726827, member: 47944"] Hi Fred and other contributors, Thanks to all your help I've got it now under control. I have been applying all your suggestions, tips and ideas and it has transformed my world. Here's what I would like to add in a condensed form to assist people with similar problems: There are four YouTube clips that every novice photographer should watch. These are: Nikon D7500 User's guide by Jared Polin [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi1copk_Sns[/url] 6 Simple Camera Hacks To Get You Off AUTO Mode Forever [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqlZoXrutYI[/url] How to open Nikon D850 .nef files in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Hr0rUwn1w[/url] Learn Lightroom 6 CC - Episode 1 Quickstart [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bECi0ZQAB34[/url] Since I started this thread a complete new world has opened for me and I want to thank you all. The D7500 is different to the D90 (As suggested by one of you) and seems to apply different metering to the pictures. In Auto-mode one hasn't got control about this. However, it seems that my Nikon D7500 seems to function the best when the metering is set at +0.3 to +0.7. By doing this the pictures turn out great! I now shoot most of my pictures in Aperture mode, shoot in RAW and process them in Lightroom. The problem to novice photographers that the whole process from moving to Auto settings to Manual settings is very daunting and one expect a steep learning curve. Thanks to your help and the videos as listed as above I understood and kind of mastered the whole concept in a matter of days. Of course there's so much more to learn but at least I now master the foundations of photography. The manual included with the camera is kind of hopeless: Too much information but no direction. The learning curve to get a grip on Lightroom is not as bad as expected. It's just going through logical steps and it's non-destructive to the originals. I now shoot in RAW + JPEG Fine settings. I am very happy to list my problem on this forum as it drove me nuts. Thank you all very much for your excellent help and support. Cheers, Luke Melbourne, Australia [/QUOTE]
