Lightroom Secrets | All Things Adobe Lightroom!

For those of you not familiar with Adobe’s DNG image format (short for Digital Negative), it was introduced back during the Photoshop CS era, as a means of standardizing and simplifying the process of editing raw picture data. The need for this format stems from the fact that -to this day- camera manufacturers have eschewed a standardized raw file format, in favor of proprietary formats like NEF and CR2. The problem with these formats is that over time, as the camera makers’ software evolves, they sometimes “orphan” support for files created by older cameras. Unlike a real film negative which can be scanned at any time, a proprietary raw file, absent some 3rd party solution like Lightroom or ACR, can be made obsolete at the whim of the company. You might stand to lose a large segment of your photo library in that case, were you to rely solely on the manufacturer’s format.

Working with Lightroom 3 Vignettes | TipSquirrel

For this tutorial we take a look at how the Post-Crop Vignette feature in Lightroom 3 helps us to add a bit of style to the image, but more importantly, it also helps to direct the viewer’s focus towards the central regions of a photograph, when that effect suits our purposes. It’s not uncommon even after a bit of retouching that relatively bright areas around the edge of the frame can pull our attention from the main subject; this feature is a great way to handle that problem. It’s quite an intuitive and efficient process once you get the hang of it, and can help you to add that “final touch” to some of your best shots.

Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey’s “Export to Facebook” Lightroom Plugin

The same download works for both Windows and Mac. See the box to the upper right for the download link link (in orange) and installation instructions. Note : a Lightroom major upgrade, such as from Lr3 to Lr4, de-registers the plugin in the upgraded version, thus requiring a new (1-cent if you like) registration code in the upgraded version. It makes for a hassle every couple of years, I know.
