Adding Thumbnails to ON1 Photo RAW Preset Categories

Image
I recently discovered a posting by an amateur photographer on YouTube with directions for changing or adding thumbnails to preset categories shown in the left Presets tab of ON1 Photo RAW 2022.1. I was interested because I have collected a lot of these presets in recent years while using Photo RAW.  This screen grab of the ON1 Photo RAW Browse module shows the way preset categories (the two columns on the left) are displayed. The two generic squares outlined in yellow are older categories with no thumbnails.  Older preset categories and some new ones from third-party providers have no thumbnails, and it can become a bit more difficult with so many generic squares displayed. The YouTube directions identified a method to add thumbnails to the preset categories, but the procedure was complicated. It did not work sometimes. Dylan Kotecki, online trainer for ON1, posted this video about using and modifying presets in an earlier version of Photo RAW, but he did not cover the topic ...

Welcome Post

Welcome to Flight from Callahan County, a blog from an old, retired guy. Here I’ll occasionally post my thoughts on whatever comes to mind. I grew up in Callahan County, Texas, a rural county situated along Interstate 20 just east of Abilene. The Census Bureau reports a population there of 13,660; median age of 43.3, older than the Texas median of 34.3; median household income of $40,945, lower than the Texas median household income of $59,206; a poverty rate of 15.6%, higher than the Texas rate of 14.7%. Callahan County is part of what is known as the Big Country and where I have always thought West Texas began with traditional farm land giving way to gentle hills and valleys of scrub brush and mesquite good for ranching only. I love Callahan County. I always roll down the car window to smell the fresh air when I drive into the county. I love seeing the magnificent wildflowers along FM 1864 near Scranton in the springtime. I love traveling farther west on that ...

"Love Is in the Air"

Image
 Here's a composite image from a performance of the Enclave Choir, directed by Meg Miller. The show was a collection of love songs and related narrative. Location: The Enclave at Round Rock senior living center, Round Rock, Texas.  The photo was shot using the M.Zuiko 12-100mm F4.0 IS Pro lens on an Olympus E-M1 Mark III camera. In my opinion, this lens is the best zoom lens ever made for the micro four thirds format. The lens was first released in 2016 but never became a big hit because of its size. I purchased the lens soon after its release. At the time, the only MFT camera I owned was the PEN-F, but it had a third-party grip, making it perfect for balancing the heavier lens. With Olympus cameras, the lens adds 2 stops of stabilization, and it had a manual ring clutch for quickly switching from auto focus to manual focus. The  M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3, one of the last lenses in the pipeline before the Olympus camera division became OM System, was designed ...
