While preparing a series of images for print on a high resolution printer (Fuji Frontier 590 to be exact), I found myself obsessing about removing any residual sensor noise or image imperfections from my collection. Normally, I’m pushing images to 72ppi for proofing on the web, which will often downsample out any irritable noise, dust, [...]

8. May 2008
While processing another massive batch of images, I boasted with pride to my team how Auto Sync is streamlining my workflow. All the while, I flicked my Alt, Ctrl, and Command keys like Beethoven as I waxed prophetic on my mastery of all things quick and tricky. Then I noticed her. She had been my [...]

2. May 2008
I have a Nikon D80 I use as my everyday camera, and at anything over ISO400 it gets quite noisy. Rather than throw Noise Ninja at it, I decided to embrace the noise – and build a preset to mimic one of my favorite types of film – Kodak Tmax 3200. One thing to keep [...]

1. May 2008
Continuing on with my exploration of time-saving keyboard tricks, I have become a huge fan of using the {Alt} key (mac or PC) to quickly access two functions I use daily: Tone Control and Export as Catalog. During my first pass on a large job in the Library module, I not only rate images and [...]

29. April 2008
Auto Sync has changed my life. I have easily squeezed an hour out of my workflow by making Auto Sync a primary tool in my arsenal. I won’t go so far as to say Auto Sync is a ‘hidden’ control, rather it’s just a bit out of the way in the interface – accessible via [...]

4. April 2008
We miss our film. Seriously. We miss our TMax 400, our Kodak Porta 160NC, and ESPECIALLY our Fuji Velvia 100. So … we’ve built a Fuji Velvia 100 Lightroom preset. |Brandon Oelling x=photography+consulting – image+workflow+technology+business

12. March 2008
In continuing with my theme of sharing in last weeks post, I want to delve into the topic of virtual copies and how my team and I have been leveraging them in our collaborative workflow. We’ll look at how we use virtual copies to not only preview various changes, but commit those changes to a [...]

5. March 2008
When working in collaboration with other editors, our team exports and imports catalogs on a daily basis as we process and deliver projects for numerous studios. One topic we discuss continually is the creation and sharing of presets during our workflow. The great thing about the Develop Module (well … ONE of the great things) [...]

9. January 2008
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an amazingly simple and powerful technology that can be leveraged within Lightroom to quickly and easily upload a selection of images directly to any server that supports the FTP standard.
