The Lightroom IMAGES thread

[SmartWombat]

Amyone else using Adobe Lightroom beta?
I'll post a few before and after adjustments on my raw files ... join in with yours !

There is also a discussion of Lightroom going on, check out this thread:Adobe Lightroom Beta 4.0

another reason why I've not been around here this last week.

Don't start a new Lightroom thread. We already have a good one going here:

Adobe Lightroom Beta Discussion >>

And your new blog is a pretty good Lightroom resource, too.

I had some images to set up anyway. These are really rough. They were shot under dark redwood cover with a compact digital camera - and not RAW. I didn't do any of my usual selective adjustments on this photo. This is straight out of Lightroom, except I resized it in Photoshop so that I could sharpen it and add my logo.

Ah, I used the Constrain Size in the Export settings to maximum 640x640 and reduced the quality for the JPEG output. It seems to have worked quite well for forum posting ...

Paul,

Do you know of a way of exporting the original without modification if you have already applied the changes in Lightroom?

I use this product a lot - needs red/green eye capability desperately.

I started to do the same thing. But the export dialogue is missing an unsharp mask option - at least as far as I can tell. So I felt like I had to open it in Photoshop in order to resize and apply unsharp mask.

I see now why PJ wanted me not to start a new thread ...

Yes, in the left hand pane click on History above the list of presets.
As you wave the rodent over the steps in your history, see the preview image changes?
Click on a step and you will export the image as at that step.

Repeat after me, Lightroom is not an image editor
It is a pretty good swiss army knife, but it doesn't have that particular tool.

remind me to blog this
