Landmark New Features In Lightroom 2 Beta

April 9th, 2008

This Beta version is it seems to me unusually “uncooked” to me. Even though Lightroom product managers say not, I think Adobe rushed out this Beta to reveal the cool things they have in the pipeline and counter Apple’s recent release of Aperture.
Michael Clark over at Inside Lightroom has a good summary of the […]

Thanks to Cherie Irwin for pointing out the Adobe released Lightroom 2.0 beta today. See John Nack’s blog and Adobe Labs Lightroom site for more details. I’m going to download it and try it out.
There’s appears to be a lot of cool features in LR 2 Beta and there are still a bunch of things […]

The Lightroom 1.4 update for Mac and Windows has been temporarily removed from the Adobe.com web site. Those Lightroom users who have installed Lightroom 1.4 should uninstall the update and install Lightroom 1.3.1.(Mac, Win) until a further update can be provided.
This decision is based on errors found in the 1.4 release. You might want to […]

Enfuse: One of The Most Important Tools For A Real Estate Photographer

March 11th, 2008

I had an interesting time this weekend shooting the same property that I’d shot back in 2004. The property is a funky little A-Frame on a remote lane on Tiger Mt near Issaquah, WA. My wife Levi has sold almost every home on this lane over the last 5 years.

LR/Enfuse: A HDR Like Image Blending Plugin For Lightroom

March 3rd, 2008

As reported over at Lightroom News, Timothy Armes has a new donation-ware image blending plugin for Lightroom that creates images similar to tonemapped images.
I purchased a copy and have been playing around with it for several hours. It is very convenient to use, just select the images you want to blend in Lightroom and launch […]

Aperture 2.0 Is Not A Professional Application

February 18th, 2008

I admit it I’m a little biased towards Lightroom since I’ve used Lightroom since it came out. But since in TWIP #5 Scott Bourne and Alex Linsey were so “ga-ga” over Aperture 2.0 I decided, “OK, I’ll keep an open mind and check out the new Aperture 2.0 just released”. I downloaded the 60 day […]

New Features For Two of My Favorite Slide Show Products

February 7th, 2008

Today I noticed that both of my favorite slide show products, buildatour.com and SlideshoPro have new features.
Buildatour.com now has the ability to download your tours to your local computer and make a auto-run CD of the tour. This is a very cool feature. I’ve found that both buyers and sellers love to get CD tours […]

January 29th, 2008

Adobe has launched a collaborative Lightroom help site. The site is a wiki where anyone can contribute tips information etc. like wikipedia. The energy that Adobe is putting into Lightroom is amazing!
Slideshowpro has become my favorite Lightroom web module plugin so I was delighted when I ran across Michael Clark’s article on using slideshowpro […]

What’s On The Radar For Lightroom?

January 20th, 2008

There seems to be allot of talk about what’s next for Lightroom. Perhaps it’s just because Macworld was last week. Steven Shankland over at CNet has an article about a discussion he had with Kevin Connor, the Adobe executive that manages the Lightroom and Photoshop products. Kevin says that it’s not out of the […]

Lightroom 1.3 Update Feature/Problem Summary

November 26th, 2007

I was glad to get the Lightroom 1.3 update just for the fixes it had to Leopard on the Mac platform. However, the Lightroom 1.3 update had a good deal more than just fixes so it would behave well on Leopard. Martin Evening over at Light Room News has a couple of posts in the […]
