Great news everyone, Lightroom 4 is out! And even better, there's been a huge price cut. Lightroom 4 is $149, with a $79 upgrade path from any previous version. That's €109/€62 plus VAT for Europe. No major new features, but additional camera support for the Canon 1DX, G1X, Nikon D800, D800e, amongst others.
The CoffeeShop Blog: What is the CoffeeShop Blog All About?
Hi! My name is Rita and I am the blogger behind CoffeeShop and a stay-at-home, homeschooling Mom to two naughty but adorable little boys (Duke is 7 and Imp is 4) and passionate about all things photography. If you are visiting for the first time, welcome! My blog is all about photography, photo-editing (Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and LightRoom), and my adventures as a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. Pretty much everything you find here is created by me and completely free.The new Color Lookup Adjustment Layer in Photoshop CS 6 has several options (3DLUT File, Abstract, and Device Link) that are used to load different “looks”. These looks are achieved by remapping every color in the image to a different one using a lookup table (LUT). I think that many photographers and designers will find their resulting color shifts quite interesting. Note: historically, LUTs have been used primarily by the film industry as they’re an excellent way to apply color adjustments from one application in another application that may not share the same math.

In fact, at the time, I looked a lot like Cousin Oliver, who was brought on the “The Brady Bunch” to boost sagging ratings, but, instead, only helped the show jump the shark. So, where am I going with this trip back to before the remote control was invented? Well, it isn’t because I caught the photo bug from the episode where Greg Brady inadvertently made a shot of a key football play while photographing his cheerleader girlfriend, but because I think I was subconsciously inspired to do street photography by another show I watched.My Plugins
Adobe has released a second free beta for Lightroom 3 (“Lightroom 3 Beta 2” — Lr3b2 ) with a lot of bug fixes and speed improvements, and a few new goodies not found in Lr2 or the first Lightroom 3 beta, including: New rendering engine, new sharpening, new grain, new noise reduction, new tone-curve control, etc. I used the new point-curve tone control to create the freaky rendition above, of a photo from February's ski trip with Anthony .

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. Sorry.
Note for Lightroom 4 and Later: The presets in this article were developed for "Process: 2010", which was standard in Lightroom 3. Lightroom 4 and later, however, default to a different process version, so these presets will appear to do nothing. However, if you switch back to "Process: 2010" in the "Camera Calibration" section of Develop, the preset will have its full effect. You can then leave it that way, or switch back to whatever process version you like, and the changes will be brought forward.

If you're not really into digital photography, you may have never heard of Scott Kelby , but he's quite the media dynamo in the on-line digital-photography world. He founded a Photoshop user's club some years ago, and seemingly has never rested since. As an example of his business savvy, rather than launching the club with a self-limiting name like “Tampa Photoshop Users Club”, he smartly called it the grandiose “National Association of Photoshop Professionals”, and it took off.
I’ve heard a lot of talk about what happens to presets that were created in Lightroom 3 (or LR2) and now used in Lightroom 4. I know a lot of people have presets that they absolutely loved in Lightroom 3 and they simply don’t seem to look the same in Lightroom 4. That’s because of the differences in sliders in the Basic panel.
