Multiple Catalog Access.

Since Lightroom began, it's been a one database file at time. First they were 'Libraries', now they're 'Catalogs'. In the background, they happen to be SQLite files, which are single user databases. However that shouldn't mean that we remain stuck to one Catalog open at a time. Or for that matter be able to copy between Catalogs that are open.  While by and large a single Catalog is the best [...]

Lightroom 4.1 RC2 on Adobe Labs

Adobe Labs have a new release candidate version of Lightroom 4.1. I pushed it out at the launch time on Twitter, but held back here to have a closer look.  As well as the additional support for new cameras, like the Canon 5D Mark III, there's 2 new features. The first is the ability to read up to 32 bit Tiff HDR files. What this means is you can now create full HDR files in HDR Pro in [...]

While the course discount is gone, you can still buy the whole thing for only $99! Lightroom Journal highlighted both the Hot Issues with Lightroom 4.0 and announced the Release Candidate for Lightroom 4.1. Besides the Lightroom issues, [...]

Aminus3 via Lightroom

At Focus On Imaging 2012, I bumped into Jason Kravitz from Aminus3. He seemed surprised that I knew about Aminus3 at all, but I did once upon a time attempt a photo a day blog. I think I lasted 40 odd days. Anyway, we chatted for a bit about Aminus3 and Jason dropped by one of my talks on the Phototraining4U stand. He had some nice things to say about me, so the least I can do is return the [...]

Facebook help for Photoshop and Lightroom

Hey folks,  Just a quick heads up on a great Facebook group started by Photoshop artist Andrew Kavanagh, called 'Photoshop and Lightroom'. The group is a mix of well known teachers and ordinary users and acts as a great resource. It is an invite group, but you can request membership.  An average day will see posts of tutorials, help requests and workshop information. It's quite varied, [...]

Basic Geotagging with Geotagr and Lightroom 4

While you can drag and drop images quickly and easily to a location in Lightroom, it's much more accurate to use a GPS device that creates GPX tracklogs.  With the advent of Lightroom 4's Map Module, I've had a few developers contact me about their apps for iOS that do just that. So this post is going to mention one of them briefly, but is really about the tracklog feature in the Map Module. [...]
