I can see little green shoots appearing and they'll soon overtake the last bits of dead leaves that survived the winter.
Checked out my plug-ins with LR6 and all seems to be fine. So relieved! This was using LR and Topaz Textures (seem hooked on that lately).
What a lovely homage to the retreating season. I love the new growth but soon tire of the mass of indistinguishable green that ultimately takes over and hides the structural beauty that remains evident in other seasons. We also lose some of the colours and tones you show off here.
Changes are scary. I had a heck of a time getting my LR catalog working on my new computer. I actually have three catalogs. One for my older pictures, one for my current and one for my scrapbooking supplies. Maybe someday I will look into Topaz. You get some neat looks with that program.
@taffy Not at all. LR restarts the program when you switch catalogs, but on my old computer the catalog with all my pictures seemed slow loading. I started a new one for Jan 2016. And I didn't want my scrapebooking supplies mixed in with my pictures. When I am scraping I pick my pictures first and open them in PS by doing "edit in" within LR then switch to my scrapbooking catalog for those items. The important thing when you create a new catalog is that you name it so you can identify it. If you didn't name your first one it just says something like LR catalog. When I got mine moved over I created a new catalog for my old pictures naming it so I could find it and then exported the old catalog into this one and used the new one which I could easily identify going forward. So if you would like to move certain pictures into a new catalog just export those pictures by selecting them into the new catalog. They are not removed from the old catalog. But you can if you want remove them. Keywords is another great way to identify and find pictures by a subject.
