A PM is awaiting your perusal, Randall.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

It's the least I could do, and I always do the least I can! [goofy]

Here's an article on Photo/iCloud Photo Library at <TidBITS.com>. May have some helpful info for those that use either one.

Howdy Randall, xairbusdriver, Herb, and WeatherCat shutterbugs,

Well, I got as far as to download the the Lightroom demo installer, . . . . . Now if I could just find the time to actually install it and try it out!

Oh well, . . . . Edouard

I actually really like the new Photos app. It has fairly robust editing capabilities, at least sufficient for me. I migrated all of my photos to iCloud--took several days but went smoothly. I think if you're really doing a lot all the time with photography what I've heard about, over and over from serious photographers, is how good Adobe Lightroom is. But I'm not that heavily into it and didn't want to bother with switching away from a simple, all-in-one Apple solution for now.

It's actually working quite well for me too. The editing tools are better than what was in iPhoto.

Dear Duncan, Blick, Herb, and WeatherCat shutterbugs,

Well, I got as far as to download the the Lightroom demo installer, . . . . . Now if I could just find the time to actually install it and try it out!

ditto . . . . . .

I still have a lot of photography going on.  I'm mostly documenting the projects underway for my trusty wagon.  I sure wish Apple hadn't given up on the idea of events.  I know it is old fashioned but hey, when I grew up, if you wanted a picture you had to put film in your camera!

Oh well, . . . . Edouard

Wow! You must be older than that Buick you are restoring.

And, if you didn't have your own tanks, pans, light-proof room, and chemicals, you had to wait days/weeks to see the pictures!! OTOH, a good photographer knew how to frame, compose from skill, experience and practice rather than pressing the button hundreds of times and then deleting the 98 that were not worth keeping...

Well, . . . without giving too many details - I am!  ;D

100% correct!  If you cared at all about the photo you were trying to take, you got very good at "seeing the picture in your mind's eye" before pressing the shutter.  It was that much more imperative when it was a one time shot.  That can be especially challenging when combined with two of my other hobbies: scuba diving and amateur astronomy.  Still even if you were chasing that fish, you had to do your best to frame that photo!

It is unfortunate that these sorts of skills are seriously endangered.  I don't think people realize how much time they end up wasting when they use their camera like a machine gun and nonetheless potentially missing the shot they wanted in all that overkill.  Then they are forced to spend a lot of time trying to touch up the pictures that could have been captured effectively at the time the shutter was pressed.  Finally, without that aesthetic about what is a good photograph, friends are bombarded with more photos than they can easily handle - hardly the way to keep your social network healthy.

So I keep doin' it da' ol' fashioned way!  Too bad few employees at Apple do the same . . .

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

Well, I agree with what you're saying about learning to compose a shot before taking it, however there is always room for kismet as well. I have learned through the years of shooting 35 mm, that no matter how practiced you are or skilled in going after the right composition, sometimes it just comes down to luck. Many times the shot I was going for turned out not to be the one I kept, because the opportunistic impromptu shot was much better.

Also, given that we all shoot digital, the cost of experimentation is almost nothing.

Below are two experiments taken over the weekend that I thought turned out well. My idea was to position the camera (in this case, my iPhone) in the rocks to get the shot. I had already taken a picture of the rocks, and it made a good desktop image.

The first image, I called "Bones of Mountains Past."

The second image inspired me to write this little poem:

The perfect feng shui of a cloudless day,
nature's way,
when daffodils
and May
have gone away,
and summers breath is here to stay.

 [lol]

Leveled and cropped in Photos? Edouard.
