All you do is specify a folder and it sends it over there when u are done processing. The little brush is sheer magic and fixing WB is a breeze. Do it once, then select all images taken under the same conditions and hit Sync. _________________ Member #4 www.slrdude.com Back to top uncle aj Keeper of lost marbles Status: Adrian Favourite Watch: TT GMT Ceramic Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 5015 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:46 pm    Post subject: slrdude wrote: uncle aj wrote: Funny, I tried Lightroom and didn't like it.  I didn't like the way it imported all you pictures and then there was no save as function.  I like to work on each picture individually so I binned it.   There is a save as function.   It's under Image --> Export.

Maybe I'll try it again some day.   _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS Uncle AJ's, an equal opportunity dictatorship. It wasn't a dress!!

And by that I mean just in certain parts of the image. Mist all over like you have in your image can easily come across as a foggy lens to the untrained eye. When on location, your brain knows what it is, compensates for it and tells you that is a wonder of nature and it is a picture worth taking. Too bad the sensor is dumb and it will just capture a beautiful landscape through what might look as a foggy lens. It's one of those decisions you have to make when you do your post processing. If you use Photoshop, curves are located in the Image-->Adjustments menu and once you open it it looks like a square with a line going diagonally through it from bottom left to top right and it should be straight as an arrow. Flat. As shot. What you want to do is make it look like a bit on an S. Grab the line about half way between the mid point and top right corner and drag it UP slightly to where it looks pleasing. This will increase your detail, especially in the dark areas. Do the same thing with the bottom half, but drag it DOWN. That will increase the tonal range and the overall contrast of the image and give it that pop. If you think about it, you eye compensates for all those things when you look at the scene while the camera can not. And this is why many times when you look at the image you wonder... is this the same scene? What happened to... (insert missing element here). Those are just some general observations. The vast majority of your pictures are outstanding and it does not take a rocket scientist to see that you have a great eye, and you should never give this up.         Thanks Chip and I really do appreciate the input. I have not got photoshop so will have to look into it. Thanks again   _________________ Martin (Jimbits' love interest) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Photography in general All times are GMT Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4 Page 4 of 4   Jump to: Select a forum Announcement----------------Forum AnnouncementsRants and Raves Watches----------------RolexOmegaPaneraiBreitlingOther brandsGeneral Watch topicsWatch photosFor sale and wanted Wildlife----------------Bird lifeBird photosGeneral wildlifeWildlife photosThe natural world General----------------General discussionsFamily & Family PicturesThe doughnut shopNew membersHow to do itSuggestions and complaints Photography----------------Photography in generalPhotoshop  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group -- Template created by dav.bo=> GreyStylus --
