Inside Lightroom Presets « Julieanne Kost's Blog After my 2-day class on creativeLIVE, I had a number of great questions that I wanted to answer. Well, I’ve finally had some time to sit down and answer them so that’s what I’llbe concentrating on this week. Today we’ll look at the questions about the Develop Module: 1) Guest6550: I created a folder for presets but couldn’t make another folder within that… is it possible? JK: Unfortunately, no – you cannot “nest” a folder of presets within another folder of presets in Lightroom. 2) lizj: can Julieanne show us how to install a preset we download from her blog (or from somewhere else)? JK: The easiest way to download the presets on my blog would be to do a search (in the upper right corner) for .zip. 3) SSchwarz: Is there a way to auto-balance several flash images? JK: Select all of the desired images in the Grid view and choose Photo > Develop Settings > Match Total Exposures. 5) Spencer: Is there -any- possible way to create a preset that rotates an image a set amount or set cropping?

Get Most Of Photoshop’s Best Tools And Features Without Buying The Full Version Of Photoshop I am always looking out for ways to help people in regards to the cost aspect of post processing. We currently have a few options out there, some of which includes free software such as Gimp or Paint. However, I recently stumbled upon another option. If you have a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, there is a plugin that brings over many of the features from the full version of Adobe Photoshop (120 of them, in fact) right into Elements. The plugin, Elements XXL, recently introduced to me by PopPhoto, essentially allows you to take Adobe Photoshop Elements and bring over many incredible features that make the full version of Adobe Photoshop great. It is important to note that at the moment it is for Windows only. I have yet to personally test this out, however you can read about the new features below along with images of the interface. You can also read more about the product through their site here: Enhanced 16-bit Image Processing:
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). Note: for iOS users, the HDR mode requires a device that can capture in DNG such as an iPhone 6, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, iPhone SE, or iPad Pro 9.7″. In addition, Speed Review is back! Export Original enables you to export DNG files captured in Lightroom mobile (as well as raw files imported from your camera to Lightroom mobile or Lightroom web) to the camera roll. And, for Android Creative Cloud members, both the Radial and Linear selective adjustments are now available! In addition, the team has improved sync speed and stability and added background sync and upload features.
