Photoshop
Lightroom provides one easy application for managing, adjusting,
and presenting large volumes of digital photographs so you can spend less time in front
of the computer and more time behind the lens.
I purchased Lightroom and it has speeded up my workflow when shooting
hundreds of images at a time and I get
better results too. I also will make good use
of the online photo galleries that it creates almost instantly .
- Import images into the Library and add
keywords that make sense to you as you are importing the images
- Search your Library by keywords to quickly locate images
- Create Collections in the Library to organize your images
- Quickly go through your
images and flag them for deletion, delete them, or flag them as picks
- Develop your images quickly with easy-to-use white balance, exposure, contrast
and curves controls
- Check sharpness, noise, or small details with nearly instant zooming
- Convert
color images to black-and-white with precision
- Fast, high-quality printing
- Easily create HTML or Flash Web galleries with live preview in the program
- Use the simple controls in Lightroom to create and play elegant slide shows, and
include background music
- Lightroom is the perfect complement to Adobe Photoshop. Use Lightroom to import,
manage, adjust, and present large volumes of digital photographs, and use Photoshop
to more thoroughly refine individual images.
I have assembled a collection of Lightroom learning resources including
video and other tutorials,, tips, support information and news. I
also listed a couple of excellent books for learning Lightroom. I will be adding
more
links as
I find them so come back often.
