software for editing underwater photos

[Hoag]

My 3rd grader can get LR & PS package for free? Are you serious?

Not LR, ON1 Photo RAW.

ON1 Special Pricing - ON1

www.on1.com

As a Vet, I can get it for $49.99USD.

Darktable works great if you spend some time learning its modules.

Darktable tools 'color balance' and 'color zones' for example can reproduce the 'vibrant' color saturation that OM bakes into its .jpgs (which Lightroom also seems to do automatically on .ORFs)

I shoot in RAW with an initial underwater correction in camera. This allows for the greatest data capture, and gets my images into the ballpark (easier to pick out what shots to edit further from the previews).

I edit with Lightroom first for big overall edits. Then I do a run through Photoshop to adjust specific sections of the image.

I have a problem with Lightroom as of today. When I try to open Lightroom, a popup box appears. It says "THIS ACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THE OTHER PROGRAM IS BUSY. CHOOSE "SWITCH TO" TO ACTIVE THE BUSY PROGRAM AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.:" There is a button in the popup that says SWITCH TO and a button that says RETRY. Neither button does anything. I followed the suggestion of an online help page that talked of removing files that have LOCK in their title. I found two of those and put them in the recycle folder. It did not help. I am using an old version of Lightroom from when was single payment to own. I do not have a subscription so Adobe does not provide support for what I have. Anyone have ideas on how to solve this problem?

• Try the following and see if it solves your problem:
  • In C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, find the SL Cache folder and move it to your Desktop.
  • In C:\ProgramData\Adobe, find the SL Store folder and move it to your Desktop.
  • R Click on your Lightroom icon and “Run as Administrator”.
  • If it opens correctly, that shows it is working now.
  • Close Lightroom and reopen the application normally.

At this point I was good to go again. 9/17/14

Thank you for the advice. Before I made any changes today, it started up and opened a box that asked me what catalog to use to open. I selected my emergency backup catalog and Lightroom opened correctly.
I am not certain what change I made caused the difference because I changed nothing today and it did not open normally last time I tried it.
