The search and keyword functions allow me to find an image within seconds as does the metadata search function. I don't know how any program could be more efficient than LrC at file handling.

In PS I did what needed to be done to create the star trail, saved it as a large document file and then saved a tiff and everything went back into LrC. The only issue with that was that LrC would only export about 5 images at time so I had to do it multiple times ( a total of 25 images) and then combine the images into one file. When each one was edited than I opened a file in PS using the create separate layers option for the images. From LrC I simply popped each individual image into PS, did the needed edits, and then popped the image back into LrC. I just edited about 20 individual shots to create a star trail using PS. I find the workflow from within LrC using plug-ins to also be excellent and very easy.

So interesting, all of our differences.I find the LrC file handling to be very easy and excellent at what it can provide.
Where are my plugins in topaz studio 2 software#
To be controversial, I use a D500 and 300PF with 1.4TC, and I sometimes wonder if the improvement in final image quality I can get using the Topaz software is as good as spending an extra few thousand dollars on better gear? I am not ready to ditch LR, partly because I like LR's ability to "paint" changes to specific parts of an image rather than using masking, and because of its database functions.

Where the Topaz programs really seem to hold their own is on high ISO images, especialy those that have to be cropped - as is so often the case with small birds in dark places. I also have Topaz de-noise as a separate program, and it also has AI Clear as a module, but is much slower on my 2015 MacBook Pro.

can also be useful, but they duplicate what's already in LR. Somehow it knows where to remove noise (e.g. I have used several noise reduction programs, and this is by far the best. With 1 click it usually does a great job of de-noise and sharpening.
