After a beautiful relaxing Christmas, it's time to get back in the saddle... the silence reflects development of a Lightroom 2 workshop for February and March, 2009. The digital blogosphere also seemed relatively quiet; until Lightroom once again poked its head well above the surface.
Photoshop World Conference, Boston, March, plans to Have a Lightroom Conference within the Conference.
Creative, speed editing, camera lights, weddings, organization, using camera raw, basic, Photoshop, and show your work... these would be the topical labels you might put beneath your blog to attract attention for this innovative Lightroom conference. The list of luminaries making presentations is long; we single out Andrew Rodney, Photoshop Hall of Fame, Santa Fe, for further comment.

Andrew Rodney and Lightroom
On one of Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider guest blogs, Andrew, who began working with Photoshop 1.0.7 18 years ago, wrote "Lightroom represents (excuse the cliché) a quantum paradigm shift with respect to image processing." As of January the 12th, this blog posting had 42 comments; a diverse set of views and experiences regarding Lightroom with Andrew's responses.
Andrew also discussed Lightroom workflow:
Get it right in capture (good exposure, focus, etc)
Then get it right in rendering (Raw processing) [Lightroom inferred - rjb]
THEN resort to Photoshop or use Photoshop for local corrections and special effects you wish to achieve.
For our broader, philosophical view of Lightroom, Andrew said:
I think the newer selective color tools in LR2 are intended for broad strokes if you will. They help a great deal (lets burn in the corners, lets do large areas of correction). But I think for those of us that need really fine control, Photoshop will always be necessary. The idea is to minimize having to do large general area corrections on pixel based images which can be slower to accomplish.
Andrew has also promulgated free Lightroom presets and written Color Management for Photographers.
So, another cogent indication the 1-2 punch is Lightroom first, then fine tuning in Photoshop! As a bonus, in many cases Lightroom is quicker, since it's designed for photographers…
