An iOS like OS X application for quickly applying presets to photos. Nice feature: you can edit applied effects, and new presets are available for download from the Flare website.

In this video, I go over a very common technique of smoothing skin tones, while retaining skin detail and texture.

As noted above both Lightroom and Camera Raw include support for the saving and application of user defined develop settings on a camera model, serial number and/or ISO rating basis. These settings will be applied automatically to each photo during import or after a reset if it is already within the catalog. By adopting this approach Lightroom provides a means by which much of the decision making and application of custom or user defined defaults for develop settings is fully automated. Better still is the fact that the defaults saved in Lightroom will automatically be used by Camera Raw and vice versa.

My longtime friend Mike Clark from The Pragmatic Studio recently went to Hawaii on vacation and, of course, took his camera. During his trip, he captured a great photo of a green lizard. Yesterday, he sent me an email asking for any comments or criticism about his photo and what I might do to it in Lightroom. Instead of trying to communicate vaguely through email and a couple of static photos, I pulled out ScreenFlow (which I’ve been meaning to play with sometime) and kicked out a fast little screencast of me in Lightroom talking my way through processing his image.

Here are my “Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week” in no particular order. Enjoy!

There are a couple of simple ways to get black-and-white digital photos. 1. Use your camera’s built-in B&W setting. 2. Convert to B&W using the pre-set filters in iPhoto/Picasa/Photoshop Elements. 3. Use Photoshop (or GIMP or whatever) to desaturate or change to grayscale. These methods all work, but you end up with flat, muddy photos. Bumping up the contrast will improve matters, but to get a black-and-white picture that really pops, you’ll have to go a little deeper.

Er zijn genoeg fotografen die er niks mee hebben, maar persoonlijk zweer ik bij een tekentablet voor het bewerken van foto's. Zelf werk ik al een aantal jaar op een Wacom Graphire4. Van Wacom kreeg ik hun Bamboo model ter review opgestuurd en dus moest mijn Graphire hier een paar weken het veld voor ruimen.

Designed from the ground up with digital photographers in mind, Photoshop Lightroom offers powerful editing features in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort, and organize images. This completely updated and expanded bestseller, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book, was also written with photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in Photoshop Lightroom 2 in detail from a photographer’s perspective.

Een van de onderdelen waarop je de kwaliteit van een lens kunt beoordelen is op basis van of de lens een vignette geeft, een verdonkering aan de randen van de foto, en zoja hoe sterk het effect dan is. Fotografen werken ondere andere vaak met dure lenzen om dit effect zo veel mogelijk te beperken. En vervolgens duiken ze in hun grafische bewerkingsprogramma, oh ironie, om weer een vignette toe te voegen voor artistiek effect.

The idea behind Color Management (CM) is to define colors in a device-independent way, that is: what you have on your screen would look (as much as possible) the same on someone else’s screen or printed on your printer. Think about the problem this way: the “most green” color on your screen can be quite different from the “most green” color on your printer, so how do we cope?

Now that the free image editing classic GIMP version 2.6 offers a better-than-ever alternative to Photoshop (especially with a couple of key plug-ins), it's time to start getting familiar with what it can do. The Help for Linux blog runs down five GIMP techniques you should know, from cropping images to rounding corners to killing red-eye.

OK, I was very enthusiastic in my last entry to see my Spyder calibration device supported in ArgyllCMS. So much that I didn’t read any documentation and just typed the first command that I came across and behold, my Spyder started measuring patches. Great! However, typing the first command I came across didn’t quite produce a working icc profile.

This site is about a GIMP plugin called Liquid Rescale. It is a free, open source frontend to the Liquid Rescale Library, which provides an implementation of the Seam Carving algorithm as described in this paper by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir. The Seam Carving procedure aims at resizing pictures non uniformly while preserving their features, i.e. avoiding distortion of the important parts.

Ondanks eerdere pogingen met Lightroom te werken ben ik er toch nog toe nooit serieus aan begonnen. Gemist heb ik het ook niet echt, want zover als ik weet zijn de meeste dingen die je er mee kunt ook te doen met Adobe Bridge en Camera RAW. Ik hoor echter van steeds meer fotografen dat ze niet meer zonder Lightroom kunnen, dus ik moet me er toch echt eens wat meer in verdiepen. De fotoshoot met Adriëtte van gisteren én de recent uitgebrachte versie 2.0 waren voor mij goede redenen er weer eens in te duiken. Ook heb ik recent het Lightroom 2 boek van Johan Elzenga gelezen. Ik nam mezelf voor om niet halverwege, zoals eerder, terug te schakelen naar Bridge omdat het me daar allemaal veel soepeler af gaat.

So - if you have no idea how to sharpen your photos in a dark-room, why should you care about doing so on a computer? Well, because the computer does the exact same thing, and - despite what you would expect - the computer doesn’t do it better than someone competent in the darkroom. H

Photoshopping can alter our media reality. However: "change the caption and you change the meaning of the photographs. You don’t need Photoshop. That’s the disturbing part. Captions do the heavy lifting as far as deception is concerned. The pictures merely provide the window-dressing. The unending series of errors engendered by falsely captioned photographs are rarely remarked on."
