... I’m curious because I’ve had random software issues before and never thought RAM could be the culprit. ... By @microprogramers_1834   Random software issues and crashes are very difficult to find.  The possible reasons can be: faulty software, software bugs driver incompatibilities general software issues  hardware faults like hard drive errors, RAM errors, other mainboards errors system overheating   If you have software issues the first step should be to check your system if it's up-to-date. Check also the website of the board manufacturer if there are update for device drivers, chipset driver, BIOS etc. are available The next step is a clean reinstallation of the relevant software product. If this doesn't help you should to a clean reinstallation of your whole system, operating system and applications.  If the issues are already doesn't solved check your hardware with the appropriate diagnotics software. Usually, there are for every modern mainboard the appropriate tools on board. Goto the mainboard setup with the appropriate short key, like "Del", "F2" or "F10" .         ... View more

"However, I still prefer setting up the camera when I work to get to the closest result inbody that matches the reality."   In the case of your DSC01380.ARW file the image has a high degree of atmospheric haze, which responds well to LrC Dehaze control. There's no way to judge in-camera the effect of the Dehaze control, and many other of LrC's editing controls. These controls will help get you to a good rendering more quickly in LrC. You can then use LrC sync settings function to batch apply these edits to other similar images from the same shooting session. You may also consider creating some custom Develop presets to help speed the editing process. In the below screenshot I used a Linear Gradient to apply Dehaze to the upper two-thirds of the image. Just an example of some ways to speed up your LrC editing so you can stay focused on image composition.   The only thing I check in-camera is the histogram, but even here it does not provide a good indication of the actual raw data highlight clipping. This can only be determined using an app such as Rawdigger during post processing. Just some suggestions.....   ... View more
