Ok, wider view, the sulky purple cabbage is directly at the entrance to the scopas' cave and I am going to swap that rock with the one on the left with the purple shrooms on but that is an awkward shaped rock to place, I have rubble ready to prop / wedge it in place.
This will really annoy the scopas tangs! :rolleyes:

 

[najer]

Oh and you can play spot the fish lol! ;)

These are on a rock in the puddle and I can see five, I am thinking of moving them in here but I will have to replace the rock as it is a big branch if I remember so will be a large part of the filtration.

I said ric and i meant discos. Sry

My duncans get fed twice a day when the fish get fed and then sunbathe all day, not a bad life. ;)

The ric slipped overnight, they appear to be playing nicely. ;)

The Vietnam shrooms. :)

Ok, I did a thing tank related but not physically.
If you buy a good camera you have the option of two file types for a picture, jpeg which is smaller and RAW which is much higher quality but requires post processing.
I have only ever shot jpeg as I really didn't want to learn new software, I just downloaded and installed the best free software so we will see.
On my camera you can choose to save a copy of both file types so this is the jpeg pic, camera on autofocus as I just needed an image to play with, there will be lots of utube vids in my near future, don't expect the image today lol! ;)

52 minutes to download another bit of software to convert the file because the software won't deal with Nikon files, I now have an image in the software lol! ;Facepalm

 

[najer]

I saved a base image and now I can't find it lol, manyana.

I have not seen the pink streak wrasse this morning which is a first, it could be in the cube but that also would be a first, sump checked.

 

[najer]

Pink streak still mia, this is attempt one at a RAW file processed.

I can’t actually tell the difference Simon

Problem might be, this site has a maximum upload limit for pictures which isn’t much, so they don’t look anywhere like as good as the originals, it’s quiet frustrating sometimes

Can you tell the difference at your end comparing the two, I’ve never tried RAW yet ?

Yes I can see the difference, chite file size upload on here. I will continue to practice. ;)

Sorry to hear about the fish Najer. Hope you get it sorted out! Beautiful shrooms. It is tricky finding placement for some as they are not all built the same and require different parameters. Following along to see how they acclimate and do in your system.

The tank before this used to have a couple oh hundred shrooms at one point, maybe 15 different types, the tank got electrocuted by a faulty Bubble Magus qq skimmer pump, I sat for two days between water changes watching them dissolve, bm swept it under the carpet.

I'm not a photography lad but I can say that if your camera supports raw I'd recommend shooting and saving the files in that format. In fact most cameras, especially DSLR, will have an option to save both jpeg and raw. I know my Olympus does and mine is dated :) Some also come with post processing software.

The main take away from shooting and saving in RAW is because it keeps all of the image data uncompressed. As with everything else camera manufactures can have their own subset of RAW so Sony's and Nikon's may not be exactly the same although close due to the format or file extension. I don't remember the exact details (not into that hobby) but just in general Nikon, Canon, and Oly may not be the exact same...

A lot of people use lightroom. I find it too expensive but if this is a hobby and your into it you will want some form of good workflow from card reader to sorting and quick check (keep/discard) to catalog to post processing and develop. I've used it and was a beta tester a while back so kept an older copy of it laying around although I don't use it.

I always used a product called Capture One. It came on a SD card I bought years ago and really like it. I thought it produced some better colors on my post processed photos and was more "user friendly". I've not really looked lately because I do not use my DSLR much anymore. In any case RAW is good to use if you can.

Did you check by the Vodka? It might be hiding there

When I mislay something the first things I check are fridge, fridge and bathroom! ;)

 

[Crabby48]

I have lost things for months in fridge.
