I really enjoy these photo sessions as every photo shoot possesses its unique challenges... My tether tool on my laptop failed after just working great the week before. It appears that whenever you do any updates to your laptop or desktop, you run the risk of knocking something out of whack.
Fortunately, cool heads prevailed and I was able to still utilize my laptop for the selection process and I simply used the old fashion method of inserting the CF card into my card reader and then importing all of the images into Lightroom for customer selection, retouching, and resizing.
Thank you Ingrid!
