Lightroom 2.0 Allows Spot Processing


Image by Thomas Hawk
Adobe Lightroom 2.0, which launched today represents a major breakthrough in the field of processing digital photos. I just started playing with today’s software, but it is clear that Lightroom 2.0 will be my imaging software of choice. Prior to using Lightroom 2.0 I did my photo processing using Adobe Bridge and Photoshop. Represents a significant leap forward in Lightroom processing power of digital photographs. I thought I’d write a post documenting my 10 new favorite processing tools that Lightroom 2.0 brings to the table.1. selective conversion of RAW files. When using Adobe Camera RAW to process in the past, a picture of it all or nothing, take it or leave it proposition. Yes, you can increase the exposure and contrast on a shot, but it was necessary to increase exposure and contrast for the shot * * together. Frequently when processing photos you want more control than that. For example, sometimes you might have a shot perfectly exposed except for the eyes in a portrait which are too dark. Lightroom 2.0, you can now control all the basic tools (gross exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness and custom toning) using brushes or masks to highlight specific areas of an photo.2. Cropped thumbnail photos. I’m a junkie thumbnail. Vignette is the area on the periphery of photos that is sometimes dark, sometimes light. Many vignetting occurs naturally in my Canon 5D – especially with the large sensor. Sometimes I want to process a photo perfectly and take this sticker on my photo. Other times, if I want to add a varying amount of vignetting or even reverse the creation of a more exposed on the edge of my photo. In the past Adobe Camera RAW could control vignette, but only for the loaded image. If you want the image of culture there was no way of controlling tag for this specific culture. Now, with Lightroom 2.0 you can apply a crop to an image, then adjust the Vignette control after the fact about the new récolte.Il there is a new “roundness” slider for vignetting control which enables the ability to give your photos a more rough vs. sticker. alignment or even more sticker contrôlé.3. key recommendations. One way to make your photos more discoverable on sites like Flickr and Zooomr is to add tags or keywords to your photos. You can tag a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge, for example, “Golden Gate Bridge” and “bridge” and “San Francisco” and “night” and “California”, etc. But there is often tags that you don ‘t think of any on. For example, if you tag a photo of your dog “dog”, perhaps the keyword “black lab” would be another good tag. And perhaps another might be “black lab” With Lightroom 2.0 Analysis days Lightroom others you have used your photos to offer up suggested or recommended tags that you can use. Especially if you hope to offer your photos for sale by photo agencies, these keywords are descriptive meta-data is very important. By learning about your past tags, Lightroom is smarter and suggests tags that you can add to your photos as you tag and process.4. Better Photo Sharpening. One of the nice things in Lightroom 2.0 is that you have much better tools for sharpening your photos than you did before. I especially like the way you sharpen your photos (or parts of your picture) you can see a detailed view of the fine work of sharpening. This ensures that you do not overdo your sharpening for high RESOLUTION .5 views. Healing Brush. One thing I hated my old processing system, that I could not use a brush Healing inside Adobe Camera RAW. A Healing Brush is used to remove small imperfections in a photo. Large sensor digital cameras are notorious for getting dust spots on their sensors. You see these spots on most visibly in your photographers when shooting at smaller aperture settings (large number). These annoying little dust spots have ruined many a beautiful picture. In the past, I would need to manually move the photos in Photoshop to use the healing brush to clean these stains. Now, it can be done within Lightroom itself. The Healing Brush to bring up the photo area immediately around the location you want to heal and blends that in region. It also works well when you have the perfect photo of your child with just a little peanut butter on his visage.6. Enhanced Printing Tools. I love how Lightroom 2.0 handles printing your photos. With Lightroom 2.0, you can easily arrange multiple photos on a page with preset sizes. You can adjust the layout of the page in multiple columns or custom sizes for different photos. By providing enhanced layout options for printing, Lightroom allows you to use your space photo paper print smarter and allows you to print photos at home easier than ever. I have some large printing projects that I’m a pair bonding parts I intended to do for some time and this tool will be very useful when it comes time to print a custom size prints group .7. Supports color profiles of the camera and improved treatment color photo from Adobe. One of the complaints that people have made about Adobe color processing in the past has to do with the way it handles certain colors. More specifically in the red processed pictures on the software Adobe has not always been great dynamism that red must have come out a little more orange in some cases than reds. With Lightroom 2.0 Adobe has improved both their own color processing technology, but they have also added support for specific camera profiles. When you look at a picture on the LCD screen on your camera, you actually see an interpretation of the JPG image you just took. Frequently people tell me that the colors they see on their camera LCD are different than what they get when they take the photo home and try to traiter.Avec Lightroom 2.0, you can use Adobe new and improved color profiles (which work much better interpretation of reds) or you can tell Adobe to bypass their own color profiling system and use the actual color system of profiling that is inside your camera .8. Smart Collections. Smart collections (like chipsets and application on Zooomr SmartSetr for Flickr) make sense. Frequently, you’ll find yourself wanting to organize batches of your pictures for various reasons. Say you want to see all photos of your daughter this year, or all photos tagged with birthday of your daughter, or a photo of all your neon photographs taken in 2008. Whatever the case, you can create Smart Collections with Lightroom 2.0 and analyze easily organize your photos and you can better find and sort your work.9. Smarter culture and tools of fishing line that you show a rotated view as you work. In the previous version of the bridge RAW / camera I used for the treatment of pictures, when you cultivated an image and then rotate the crop, so we had to turn the head sideways to visualize what you get now Lightroom 2.0 rotates the underlying image showing you an adjusted version of what your new tour and cropped photo will look directly as you do this travail.10. Metadata SDK for custom metadata. The Metadata SDK that was released with Lightroom is interesting. I do not know any actual demand for the SDK today, but he promises that by opening up this SDK to developers that there may be fantastic ways that we can use the metadata in the photos on our futur.Une things I personally see the development over time is one way that the social metadata that is added to your photos can be reused to local copies. One of the nice things about online photo communities, c ‘ is that they encourage engagement with your photos. Many people on Flickr, for example, have added additional tags and keywords to my photos online. At present there is no easy way to apply these added social tags to my existing photos. I hope that with new SDK Adobe metadata that we could see some of these types of applications develop in the future. I also think one of the improvements metadata first time that this SDK might make available would be a sort of geotagging ajouter.Il are many other enhancements to Lightroom 2.0 that I have not mentioned in this article. Probably the two biggest are that Lightroom can now support two monitors and it can run natively in 64 bit on Mac and PC performance accrues.Adobe Lightroom detail for the ninth Lightroom Existing users can upgrade to.
