I don't know what Photoshop Elements is like now.

Sorry Eric, still no sharp BG, but this Sony A1 image with 800mm with x1.4 was shot in very poor light at ISO 5000! Unheard of a few years ago, but now a few seconds in Photoshop to almost remove all the noise. QED?

I thought you had recoiled from paying Adobe anything and we’re using some other package?

It a moot point, but I only stopped using Affinity because it wouldn’t open Sony raw files properly.  I haven’t tried the Fuji files on there…they may be ok. 

It’s not the monthly amount persay that irritates me, it’s the fact I don’t use PS from one month to the next. If I go on there ….say 4 or 5 months ( after holidays) a year, I am effectively paying 2 to 3 x the price.
Bring back the CD. :whip:



The older I get the more Yorkshire I become.

Needed to replace a vertical blind runner for patio doors. The blind supplier wanted £148 to replace it. 
Went on line and bought the track for £35. Fitted into same clips in 30secs.

I wanted to change the entry door locks to thumb locks ( we keep leaving keys insitu stopping opening from outside) 
Double glazing men came down measured up 2 locks. Quoted £152 for supply and fitting 2 new locks.
Went on line ….£12 each. I literally fitted them both while the kettle boiled.

I know in business they have to make a living…been there got the tee shirt. 
But since the pandemic (and Brexit) people are just taking the p!

Most people now have zero practical skills.

I dont know what schools teach these days but I think it must be limited to  'How to feel insulted', 'I am entitled ....', 'My rights have been infringed by that.....', etc..

Good trained tradespeople are rare, getting them to turn up in Cornwall seems to be difficult, customer care is a thing of the past.  Need I go on..... Then people wonder why they have less money that before.

Graham look for the juvenile robins as they look like small thrushes.  Very cute.

Same ACR as full Photoshop but less AI and many features dumbed down.
Photoshop CC 2025 (v28.9) is very good.
Lightroom Classic v14.4 is nearly as good as Photoshop CC but I always find that the Heal and Clone features in Photoshop work better.

You are forgiven Graham :lol:

Cracking bird.

The lady that helps Jan around the house believes her Dad has ‘returned’ as a Robin because every time she looks out of our window a Robin appears. I will show her your image tomorrow and see if she can see any distinguishing features. :thumbs:

I was thinking of Eric if it's still a one off payment. Like you I have the PS and LR subscription.
