    With a little help...?

    Luc, apparently, according to this story http://unifiedphoto.com/2010/09/lightroom-images-do-not-look-same-as-photoshop/ it might have something to do with version 4 calibration profiles versus version 2 ones. Unable to test right now, but will surely do so.

    With a little help...?

    Actually, I had never really noticed but I'm experiencing the same: when exporting a Lightroom-rendered Raw as Prophoto RGB 16 bit TIFF to Photoshop CS5 (with 'preserve embedded profiles' on in PS), the PS image appears notably less contrasty (less shadow clipping) than the LR image viewed in...

    Dual processor support

    Hello, does anyone know if LR 3 supports dual processors and if so, what the better choice would be w.r.t. file processing... a MacPro with 1 quad core 3.2 GHZ processor with 16 GB ram or a MacPro with 2 quad core 2.4 GHZ processors with 8 GB ram Price on both machines is the same... Thanks

    Changed behavior in Lightroom - Photoshop - Lightroom workflow

    @ Victoria: thanks. Makes life easier. Goes to show that if you stick to routine behavior, you can miss out on new developments. Will probably have been in the 2.x to 3.0 switch, because I definitely remember it doing that before LR3. Luckily they didn't ask in the ACE exam :-) As for the second...

    Changed behavior in Lightroom - Photoshop - Lightroom workflow

    Hi everybody, I’ve got two questions regarding Lightroom to Photoshop interactivity. I’m working on LR 3.4, PSCS5 and ACR 6.4, Mac. 1) I always used to tell people when they send a raw photo from Lightroom over to Photoshop, to use Save rather than Save as when they’re done editing in PS...

    Use of icc profile for LaserJet 2550 in Lightroom?

    Unfortunately you're on a PC, otherwise, you could just print to Preview from Lightroom and print with your CMYK icc profile from Preview. I do so with my Xerox 7500 and am getting excellent results. Profiles made with a ColorMunki Photo from X-Rite.

    Shortcut for applying a preset?

    Punch preset You might actually even think to apply the preset already upon import, in the import dialog, under 'Apply during import'.

    Suggestions on how to advance to the next level in Lightroom

    There's a good book on Lightroom's Develop Module that features a detailed analysis of all the sliders in the Develop Module and then shows ten before and after photographs explaining how the author achieved that look. It's interesting because it not only deals with the how but also with the why...

    adding some color to a b&w

    Yes, you could pick a blue hue for either shadow or highlight color in the Split Toning Panel and then drag around with the Balance Slider to target the tones you want. PS will probably give you more control, because you can select the midtones and use masks, but maybe LR is all you need.

    What does Minimize Embedded Metadata do?

    The problem with the 'minimize embedded' is that it's a little 'All or (almost) Nothing'... And all can be annoying, because for example your complete processing goes into your exported file as metadata. Say you've got that 'signature' look you've created in the Develop Module. Anyone...

    What is the proper way to round-trip between LR3 and PS CS5?

    Excellent explanation, Jim. I'd like to add that there's another way of opening a file in PS, and that is via the 'Photo => Edit in => Open as Smart Object' command. That will put a copy of your raw inside of a TIFF container, and send that TIFF over to Photoshop. While in Photoshop, you will...

    moving Develop Presets

    Jon, when 'structuring' your presets, you should know that the folders and the presets they contain are sorted alphanumerically. So, if there's a specific order you want them to appear in, the workaround right now is to rename them something like 01_, 02_, and so on... Or, if you want to be...

    Export plugin to increase exposure/brightness

    What you could also do is, right before you export your pictures, select them all in Grid View in the Library Module and hit the single right arrow of the Brightness or Exposure control. That will add a relative amount of brightness or exposure (in exposure, it's 1/3 of a stop)... It will do so...
