Anyone here using NLP on Windows 10 ? If so does the hotkey shortcut work for you ?
A great plug-in. The sort of thing Adobe ought to build into LR, but are too busy adding AI fluff instead.

After further research;
Yes the hot key can work, but here there are two installed plugins with the same keyboard short cut which causes the hotkey utility to fail.
Next question is it possible to change the default keyboard short cut for a plugin ?
(yes, I know it's possible for the program itself)
<later>
Yes, it was possible to change the shortcut for the clashing plugin (AnyFilter) so now fully resolved by killing one of the plugin's shortcut.

A little off topic... I had no idea what "Negative Lab Pro" is, so I had to Google it. Then came the realization that it's been over 20 years since I did any film work, so my mind never goes there. And I don't miss it one bit.

I've shot very little film in that timeframe too, but that still leaves 25 years of film work pre-dating my digital camera on the shelf. Being able to print and improve the best out of thousands of old photos via digitising them is actually rather satisfying and interesting. Using a DSLR & LR is SO much faster than a dedicated film scanner for that and every bit as good.
And I don't miss it one bit.
There's been no digital alternative to my Noblex 135 which can give some great results.
Overall I don't go back to film, but the simplicity of shooting with my original OM1 system (and other film cameras) meant you spent more time thinking about the photograph.

Just last week I dug out my 30+ year old Minolta spot meter. I was buying new prescription sun glasses and used it to choose the density from the samples in the store. I definitely don't miss the days of spot metering a scene and doing the math in my head to set camera exposure.

I went through a phase of that, but the reality is that TTL metering (with a little understanding of how and when to over ride it) worked just as well. For cameras without TTL metering, an incident meter did the job perfectly most of the time.
