I'm using a quick photo I took as an example for importing photos into Lightroom. So I didn't get the exposure right and I didn't find the best direction for the light. As a result she is a little too dark, her eye sockets have a little more shadow than they should, and there isn't quite as much pop. But hopefully it shows some things you can do to "save" a photo. When editing a photo, there are a sequence of steps that I follow. In order of execution, there are four key things to adjust: White Balance Highlights (White Point) Shadows (Black Point) Mid Tones Before you do anything else, it is important to set these properly. Here's our original photo: First up: let's set the White Balance.

Second thing we'll do is dial in the highlights. I'll bring down the Exposure slider slightly just until I don't see any clipped highlights. OK. Your source to free Lightroom presets. LightroomNews.

How to Change Capture Time in Lightroom 5 In this episode of The Complete Picture Julieanne demonstrates two ways to change the capture time of your images. The first enables you to offset a time zone change and the second supports a custom adjustment to align multiple cameras used to shoot one event but with different date/time settings in-camera. Julieanne Kost's Blog. I’m excited to announce that Lightroom mobile now includes the ability to capture raw, high dynamic range (HDR) images!

Julieanne Kost's Blog

In the Lightroom mobile app, tap the camera icon and then choose HDR from the drop down at the bottom of the screen. Lightroom mobile automatically analyzes the scene to determine the appropriate spread of exposure values over three shots (most other apps only average two exposures). Then, Lightroom automatically aligns, de-ghosts, and tone maps the image, creating a 16-bit floating point DNG file which can then be edited as desired. The resulting DNG file offers a much larger dynamic range than a singe raw file while maintaining all other advantages of a raw file such as higher bit-depth per color, lack of JPEG compression, and the ability to address white balance after capture with no loss of information!

Although, HDR files are larger, I believe the superior image quality and greater editing flexibility are well worth the increase in file size.

Lightroom: Better keyword management

At present, as I understand it, any "detailed editing" is best done by exporting the keyword list, making one's changes/edits and then reimporting it and even this approach has some serious limitations. This is like trying to drive a car sitting on the trunk facing backwards and looking into a set of mirrors, in my opinion.

Keywords and the keywording process are such an integral part of Lightroom that not having some decent formal processes within Lightroom to manage them is a severe lack of functionality, so, if there is one thing I would wish for in the next edition of Lightroom (Lightroom 4), is an easier way to edit, update, categorize, etc., my key words. At present, all I seem to be able to do is move them around within the keywording panel on the right side of the Library module and it becomes a real nuisance, for me at least, to maintain this list in any sort of reasonable "order".
