Image sharpness is a good thing… except when it isn’t. Martin Evening shows how to achieve a “‘pseudo’ diffusion printing technique” using the Lightroom 2.0 beta’s ability to go negative on the Clarity slider.
To even out exposures across multiple images, Lightroom features a “Match Total Exposures” command. Sean McCormack explains it in this brief video. (I’d listen just for the soothing brogue. ;-))
Lightroom lets you create virtual copies of a single image, applying different settings to each. New in the LR2 beta is the ability to stack virtual copies as layers of a PSD file, letting you composite and blend them in Photoshop. Mucho groovio!
Lightroom marketing manager Frederick V. Johnson toted his camera to the Golden Gate Bridge in order to demonstrate handing off a panorama from Lightroom to Photoshop.
Great news, panorama stitching between my two favorite apps just got easier again!
great stuff John! i can’t wait for lightroom2 to go out of beta… it’s much, much better than 1.4.1 🙂
And you catch me I’ll still not give you me crock o’ gold…
