No, I’m not writing about my foot this time! It is, I do believe, improving a lot. I’m not pushing it. I’m also not limping.
But …
I’m currently in the process of redoing my Lightroom set-up. Things were running so slowly on my computer and it was suggested I needed to start a new catalog. Any time I was working on an image I had to wait after each little action. Sometimes I’d have to wait for nearly a minute, which in computer time is, as far as I’m concerned, hours. So I have done a few things to help, including optimizing (yet again: I do that daily!), increasing the cache, and a few other things.
I’d known for some time that I had things set up in a rather crazy way: ALL images were in one huge catalog, so I decided to just dive into the project and have a catalog for each year. This is taking a lot of time, and as Lightroom does its work my computer works horrendously slowly. Typing this, in fact, is taking quite a while.
But once it’s all done I am hopeful that I can again work at a normal speed. I also hope I can figure out just how to compile all my card sets. I won’t go into the issues here, but I can just say it’s confusing at this point, and I think the work is cumbersome. If anyone can tell me though: if I make a duplicate of an image can I put the original in one catalog (the year it was made) and the duplicate in a different one (a “card catalog”?) Do you know?
Ah computers! They simplify. They complicate.
And now have a leaf in the snow. As I am going through images you can imagine I get distracted and have to take time out and work on one!
Extraordinary. Not surprisingly, your eye is tuned as well as your ear. For it all begins in the heart…and again I say, Extraordinary.
Thanks so much, Bernie! <3
I like the simple stark composition of the leaf on the snow. Nice.
Thank you, John!
