Photography Links - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Hi There:  A while back I did a post on photography sites that I visit daily or at least with some regularity.  I also have a page on ‘Becoming a Better Photographer‘ that links to about fifty photographers’ websites.

Anyway,  I use Tweetdeck to manage my Twitter account, and through that I receive all tweets related to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.  I seem to be sending the same links to people with regard to Lightroom questions, so I thought I’d add them all in here.  NB:  I won’t even pretend that this list encompasses EVERY page devoted to Lightroom; it doesn’t.  Also, there are new pages being created all the time.  However, this should give you a good start.  I`ll also mention that there are several very good books out on Lightroom, but I haven`t included those here.  BTW, before you go any further, do yourself a favour.  Start Lightroom and go to Edit/ Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom/ Catalog Settings (Mac) and on the Metadata tab, check the box that says, “Automatically write changes into XMP”.  You’ll be glad you did.  It’s off by default, and won’t update .xmp files automatically – you’ll have to tell Lightroom to do it manually.  That’s fine, unless you forget and your catalog becomes corrupted or your drive crashes or… and you lose all of your develop work, metadata/keyword information, etc.

Update (June 7, 2010): Well, Lightroom 3 is now available! Woo Hoo! The Beta has been a pleasure to use, and I’m sure the final version will be even better. Adobe has their Lightroom 3 Resources page up, and the folks at NAPP have their Lightroom 3 Learning Center up as well; I’m sure the other sites below will be offering more new content soon. One of the new features of LR 3 is ‘Lens Corrections’, which allow you to correct distortion, perspective, vignetting, abberations, etc. Automatic settings are available for some lenses, but you can also make your own profiles. Adobe provides comprehensive instructions and software on their ‘Lens Profile Creator‘ page.

Always remember Rule #5.

Back to your regularly scheduled blog post…  BTW, you can get to this page from: http://bit.ly/LRTips – it’s a little easier to remember.

In no particular order:

Well, I ran out of fingers and toes and had to borrow Marcia`s but assuming I can still count there are over 135 links there, and I`d hate to guess how many articles, tips, tutorials and videos.  However, if none of them answers your question, I`d recommend checking out the Luminous Landscape Lightroom Q&A forum.  The Luminous Landscape site itself has a wealth of information on a variety of subjects (including Lightroom), and in thanks to the site`s owner, Michael Reichmann, I`ll give the LL special attention.

Mike.

P.S. As far as I know all of the links are active, but if you come across a broken link or you`d like to add another site, leave us a comment and let us know.  Last updated July11, 2010.
