How to Create Contact Sheets in Lightroom. Historically a contact sheet was a page of images each printed at the same size as the film negative – they were used as a reference for the images on the film roll. They were called contact sheets because the film was placed in close contact with the paper when printing them. These days the term contact sheet loosely means an arrangement of multiple, small, same size images on a single page usually with some identifying information such as the image filename placed under the image. The purpose is to provide reference to a larger number of images. You may print them to keep or give to a client as a catalog of the images from a shoot, for example. You can create a contact sheet inside Lightroom and here’s how to do it: Select a Template Start by selecting the folder or the collection that contains the images that you want to add to the contact sheet.

Launch the Print module and, from the Template Browser, select one of the contact sheet options. I chose the 5 x 8 one. Set up the Print Job. A Lightroom Post Production Walk Through: Venice. A Post By: Christina N Dickson Venice. It is one of the most enchanting places in the world. There is an old-world charm to this city that endears you to it like no other destination you’ve traveled to. I spent only 1.5 days in Venice, but took hundreds of photos there. When I came back and started my sorting and editing, it was very important to me to preserve that enchanting look and feel. The shadows and highlights were equally strong. Editing to preserve a look and feel can be very challenging, and it does take time, effort, and care to accomplish. 1. Always adjust exposure first. This image is way too dark, so I know it will take a bit to adjust correctly. A. 2. I want to be sure to catch detail in the textures, so I’ll increase the recovery a bit.

A. 3. After making my detail adjustments, I find that I want to make a few more modifications to my exposure. A. 4. Venice has an old world charm, but it is also full of color. A. 5. A. 6. I know I am close to the final product. A. Use Lightroom Presets in Adobe Camera RAW. If you’re like me, you have some presets that you’ve created in Lightroom that you would like to use in Adobe Camera Raw. Unfortunately the format of the preset files in each program is different so you can’t just install a Lightroom preset in ACR. However you can make an ACR preset from a file that has had that same preset applied to in Lightroom. Here’s how: Apply the Preset To begin, open an image in the Develop module in Lightroom. Export the Image Now export the image as a DNG file so that the changes will be written to the file.

Open in ACR Launch Windows Explorer and locate the image on disk. Create the Preset Click the Presets tab and click the Create New Preset option at the foot of the Presets panel. The preset will now be available from the Presets panel in ACR and will be able to be used to adjust any image. Features not included Advantages of taking Lightroom presets to ACR. LightroomNews.
