PW60 - Tutorial 14, Chapter 4 - Ophelia's Mother

in , ,
It's my first full show since our baby was born so little Catherine makes a brief appearance and then we're back to business with the next chapter in Tutorial 14 - Ophelia's Mother. We work with HDR images in Photoshop this time and I've replaced the composition segment with a quick Lightroom tip on cropping. And as usual there's the slideshow of the entries to last week's assignment set to some podsafe music. I picked the new Coconi track - Jewels cause "Light up" got great comments last time.

This week we spend some time with the Lightroom Developer Module preparing our images for the final stage in Photoshop CS3. We play with the exposure sliders, white balance, spot editing and healing and then cropping. We also look at composition using foreground, middleground and background. And we review the entries to last week's shallow depth of field challenge while we listen to Howard Jones' latest podsafe hit, Revolution of the Heart.

PW-Review 1 - Adobe Lightroom Beta 4

in ,
As you'll know I'm in Vegas (baby) this week but today we've got something a little different. This week's show is audio-only and it's something I've been wanting to do for a few months. Adobe Lightroom is bound to be something important to the future of photo post processing, especially for us Adobe Photoshop users. So I want to talk about it and tell you (and Adobe) what I like and what I don't like. Adobe are serious about opening the dialog between their developers and us, the consumers. So here's my take on how Adobe Lightroom Beta 4 is shaping up. Remember, if you'd like to try Lightroom out yourself you can download it from labs.adobe.com. If you do try it then please consider posting your opinions in the Adobe Labs Forum.
