When I’m teaching my Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it tour, I use Lightroom quite a bit during the day, and in one city one of the attendees came up and told me they had just bought Lightroom, and wanted my recommendations on where to go to learn Lightroom. Of course, I told him that we actually do a ton of Lightroom training, and he was like, “Really? I thought you guys just taught Photoshop.” I told him that Lightroom’s full name is “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” and that Lightroom was part of the Photoshop family, and that we probably teach more about Lightroom than anyone on the planet. I gave him some ideas of what we do, but it really got me to thinking: If this guy at my live seminar doesn’t realize how much Lightroom training we actually offer, I wonder how many other people don’t realize all the Lightroom training we have available. (1) Our Lightroom magazine within a magazine! (2) We produce the free “Lightroom Killer Tips,” podcast hosted by Matt Kloskowski. Whew!!!

Learning Center – Lightroom 3 Julieanne Kost's Blog I’m excited to announce that Lightroom mobile now includes the ability to capture raw, high dynamic range (HDR) images! 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.

Je suis un peu déçu par rapport à la dernière fois, le thème semble vous avoir moins inspiré, je n’ai pas eu beaucoup d’images correspondant au thème malheureusement. Mais ce n’est pas grave car j’ai quand même trouvé de quoi vous régaler les yeux, et une photo qui mérite une critique construite. Mais avant ça, je peux d’ores et déjà vous annoncer le thème du Dimanche Critique Photo suivant, qui tient en un peu plus que 2 mots. Commençons par des utilisations « classiques » de la pose longue.

LightroomNews How to Make Your Portraits POP with Lightroom The other day I wrote this Lightroom tutorial on my blog . I thought I'd share it here and see if anyone finds it helpful. 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.

Making Photo Books in Lightroom! (San Francisco) - SF Bay Area Lightroom User Group (San Francisco, CA June 22, 2012 · 6:30 PM This month's meetup will be in San Francisco, and we'll discuss the new Book module in Lightroom 4. We'll go through the complete process of making a book in Lightroom, from start to finish. If any of you have made a photo book using Lightroom (or any other photo book making tool), please bring it to the meeting to show to others! And lastly, we'll be having a raffle for prizes, so don't miss it! See you there, Ben P.S. Lightroom: Better keyword management I would like to add my voice to this request for something to edit/manage key words. 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".
