There is a problem with the “new” Windows Server 2008 and OS X and the user privileges, thanks to Microsoft and their CIFS login. I’m not familiar with the changes between SMB and CIFS, but it messes something up. I found this out, when I was using Adobe Lightroom, and “Edit in Photoshop”. Lightroom starts [...]
Interresting, I just happened to bumb into a quite well documented, but also a not-so-well advertised property in Lightroom and ACR. I bet there is somebody who knows and uses it. Dave, Matt, Scott, or somebody else @Kelby or @Lynda? Have you fought with your lenses Chromatic Aberration and wondered how to use it. Well, [...]
Sofortbild is the key. New beta supports D7000 and works quite ok. In my installation, there is no preview image and the image size comes as (null) x (null), but the photos show up in Lightroom just as they should. You just need to set a watched folder in Lightroom to the one you set [...]
A quick tip about Lightroom preset files location on OS X just in case you need to delete your watermark presets. Go to $User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom and there they lay.

I’ve been using L3b’s text watermark from the day I installed L3b. I’ve got an existing image for watermark in PhotoShop, but I’ve been lazy setting it up in LightRoom. But finally…

Damn, missed the first wave in the morning (local time), though I was up just half of a hour after the first announcement. The whole day being busy working and finally got time to check the new version. This looks quite interesting.
There is four ways to watermark your images in Lightroom 3b. You could use the Print or Web module or you could go with Export…, File/Export, or use Publish Services. Don’t mix-up File/Export… and File/Export as Catalog. The Latter is for exporting selected photos as a new Catalog. Create a watermark preset Go to Edit/Edit [...]
I upped a set of images on the site to discover that there is a bug in Lightroom 3 b. My watermark lost the last digit from 2009. I already found a roundabout, just add extra space after the last letter and you are done. I should reload the set, but for now they can [...]
Ok, LR3 is a nice piece of software, but as a non-english keyboard user I’d really love the possibility to remap the shortcuts. I can’t use [] to adjust the brush size, for they are not accessible without an Alt GR -button. If I press it, I get the Reset option, but not the desired [...]
LR3b is still missing the possibility to zoom when using the crop view. I guess they’ve got some point why this is so, but I might have some use for a trick. You can use Win7′s magnifier tool (Win + numpad +/-), but it isn’t that handy in every case. More to come..
AdobeLabs published Lightroom 3 Beta and of course I’ve got to get it and try. 64bit installation went quite well, it didn’t pop a reboot window but I gave it a go, just in case. I imported some 10k photos (took 45min) and now I’m just getting used to it. Can’t wait to see how [...]
