Request to Update Country Display Name
Hi Team, I recently noticed that my country is displayed as "Taiwan, Province of China" on my profile, and I would like to respectfully suggest a correction. I understand that this designation may originate from the ISO 3166-1 standard. However, using the ISO country code "TW" does not require the full ISO designation to be displayed in the user interface. I would appreciate it if you could consider updating the display name to simply "Taiwan", while keeping the existing country code "TW" for technical compatibility. This small adjustment would provide a clearer, more neutral, and user-friendly experience without affecting the underlying technical standards. Thank you for your time and consideration.

How do you edit your underwater shots? What drives you nuts?
It's only smart preview uploaded to Adobe Cloud when you import and sync your raw file from Lightroom classic desktop. The problem is if you used to import raw file via Lightroom classic desktop, that will be a huge problem if you want to migrate your libary to another disk. Lightroom(both iPadOS, Desktop, iOS) is the only way to upload and access original raw file via Adobe Cloud

How do you edit your underwater shots? What drives you nuts?
I used to rely on Lightroom Classic for both photo management and editing. Later, I kept using Lightroom Classic to manage my library but switched to Photoshop for editing. Now I use Lightroom (the cloud-based version, not Lightroom Classic) to manage my library, and Photoshop for editing. Now I switched to Lightroom because of my dive trips. I bring only my iPad, import my RAW files on it, and sync them to Adobe Cloud. When you sync from Lightroom Classic, only Smart Previews go to the cloud, not the original RAW files. Your full original RAW files are stored in Adobe Cloud only if you use Lightroom (mobile or desktop) for the whole workflow.

Blackwater full frame lens choice-105mm +MFO-3 vs 60mm
I have a different take. The 60mm setup is still compact, but adding the MFO-3 to the 105mm brings the total length to around 200mm. That's probably too long and heavy for some divers.
