How to correct exposure locally with Apple Aperture? Thanks for trying and confirming my findings with Aperture. And also thanks for clarifying that it should be working better with Lightroom. |

How to correct exposure locally with Apple Aperture? Sorry, but your answer is a very generic one that doesn't apply to my problem. I've tried the "darken" brush first but it didn't do anything closely to what I get with exposure set to -2. It's rather useless in this case. You may verify that yourself - I've made the original file available (though, when downloaded, it gets a .tiff extension though it's really .pef!) |

How to globally fix missing files in Adobe Lightroom? Sure, if I make such a tool, I'll let everyone know, you can bet on that :) |

How to globally fix missing files in Adobe Lightroom? Okay, there's one possibility to solve this with a program, it seems: The database file that contains the references to the original files is a standard sqlite DB. In that, I can find the file and folder references. It remains to be seen if changing them would work without upsetting LR. This could be an opportunity for a tool. I just wonder how many would buy it, i.e. if the effort would justify it, from a viewpoint of a software developer. |

How to globally fix missing files in Adobe Lightroom? Alright, but "how can I reorganize my pictures into different folder structures with LR keeping their refs" is a totally different question. |

How to globally fix missing files in Adobe Lightroom? I just checked LR's Applescript capabilities. Sadly, it doesn't provide any access to its photos database, so that's not an option. |

How to globally fix missing files in Adobe Lightroom? I once wrote a similar tool for iTunes. I used iTunes' Applescript capabilities for that. I wonder if the same could work for Lightroom. Not a solution for your immediate needs, though, thus only a comment. |

Stitch first and edit later or vice versa? @MattGrum - I had tried a few stitching apps and they failed at the gradual decrease of brightness in my 360 pano sequence - all they did was to "smooth" the first and last picture by adjusting the area where they overlapped, which was not creating a good result at all. I don't know of any app that would understand that it has to change the brightness gradually of ALL involved pictures in the panorama, unless there's a way one can direct them manually to do that, but surely not automatically. |

What's the difference between vertical and horizontal shutters? Having disassembled lots of SLRs in my youth, I can confirm this. Horizontal shutters were using cloth as a curtain, which got rolled up when cocking the entire shutter mechanism. Later SLRs then had the vertical shutters without curtain but with blades. These required more complicated mechanics. |
