    Hi everyone, I have an Apple Watch 3 that I regularly use to track my hiking and trekking. I use the built-in Activity app, and I love the fact that it tracks the route with the GPS without having to use my phone. I shoot photos on a Canon 5D Mark III which doesn't have a built-in GPS module. I...

    App for cataloguing photos?

    Here is a quick question for all you photography and Mac experts out there which, I hasten to add, I am not! I signed up to a trial version of Adobe’s Lightroom program back in 2015.

    Macbook Pro Fan Speeds with Lightroom

    Hi guys, Recent owner of a 2017 macbook pro - 2.9ghz i7, 560 4gb. I've noticed that the computer does not handle lightroom extremely well.
