I’m very excited about an opportunity to team up with my friends at The Digital Photo Workshops! The first workshop is a trip to Death Valley. This is a brand new location for me and I really can’t wait to get there. 10 January 2012 OK, I’m sure you are curious about jumping into the driver’s seat and giving this new version of Lightroom a few laps around the block.

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.

Learning Center – Lightroom 3 Beta
One of the biggest things that was done with the Lightroom 3 was that it was redesigned from the ground up keeping two things in mind ñ performance and quality. The folks at Adobe wanted this version of Lightroom to be one that would easily expand with photographers as they acquire large amounts of collections and shoot with cameras with bigger megapixels. On top of all of this, there are some really cool standout features in the program that I think you'll like: Streamlined/Improved Import process: It's much easier to see what's going on during the import, and have a way to save an import workflow as a preset for later.

Lightroom has more tricks up its sleeve than simple photo fixes such as exposure and contrast. It’s possible to craft images inside Lightroom and, in many ways, the tools in Lightroom make the task easier than it would be in Photoshop or another editing program. In this post I’ll show you a way to turn a relatively hum drum image into something much more visually exciting.

If you’re new to Lightroom, there are a lot of interface options that you may not realize hide must know and handy program features.

This allows you to stack images together so that only one image representing the stack appears in the Grid, Filmstrip and Loupe. This can clean up the screen reducing the number of images you see. To stack images, in the Library module, select the images to stack, right click and choose Stacking > Group Into Stack.

How to Remove Sensor Dust With Lightroom
One of the annoyances most photographers encounter from time to time is sensor dust. This is dust that you get on the camera’s sensor and which shows up in your images as dark marks or flaws on your photos. Most often you’ll see this in the sky but it can appear anywhere in an image and it will appear in the same place in all your images – the tell tale sign that you have problems. Of course, the only way to get rid of the dust is to clean your camera either using its dust removal option or by physically cleaning it. However, chances are that the reason you know you have a dust problem is that you see it on your photos.

By David Marx on January 02, 2012 | Comments 27 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a wonderful image management tool but it is not a backup system. If you have neglected to prepare for total system failure, then you should expect to lose everything when disaster inevitably strikes. Here is an overview of my three-tiered backup plan.I don’t often get questions about how to apply keywords to photos, but I do hear from people who are struggling to regain a bit of order over an unruly keyword list, so it is to them that I devote this column. Unfortunately, there is no magic wand to wave and automatically fix a disorganized keyword list, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves, put the kettle on, and just get down to business.
