Adobe's eSeminars Ended with a Bang Thursday!
Tom Hogarty, Lightroom Product Manager, provided an hour of insight to Lightroom 2. From that hour long video, I learned quite a bit but found two ideas particularly pertinent.
First, Tom turned clipping on in the histogram, selected a histogram which clipped on both ends, then moved his cursor inside the histogram and reduced clipping for both shadows and lights. When I tried the same thing on Adobe Camera Raw underlying CS4, this neat little facility was nonexistent. Huzzah, Lightroom...
Second, Tom showed us how to get to Adobe's Lightroom Preset Exchange. File> Plug-in Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+)> Plug-in Exchange… and choose your weapon. In simpler terms, the Preset Exchange lets you download user presets from around the planet. Actuation of these presets opens a broad, rich world of image conversion.
Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 RC
Then, to more add to Thursday's Big Bang, Hogarty, once again in Lightroom Journal, released Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 RC... with a fix to demosaicing the green element of Bayer Sensors.
Adobe also revised the install procedure for ACR 5.5. On Windows, you download some 83 Mb of zipped files, extract, and then click Setup.exe. Setup proceeds to decide what size CPU (32 v 64 bit), then install for that CPU… it takes a minute or so.
2009 New Mexico State Fair
Some 40 volunteers from Enchanted Lens Camera Club manned Intake and Judging portions of the photography show for the State Fair. With some 600 entries, our photography show was quite a success. While many State Fair programs are down perhaps 30% over last year, 'our' photography show remained flat. Last year we had 800 entries with 4 entries per individual. At 3 entries per individual this year, 600 is a pretty good number...
Enjoy...
