Photomatix Pro HDR Software Review Added

28/12/07 Filed in: Reviews
I have added a review of Photomatix Pro from HDRsoft. This is a stand alone application that allows you to use multiple bracketed exposures to create a single High Dynamic Range (HDR) image. This can be done in Photoshop CS3 but not as easily, or with the same amount of control, that Photomatix provides.

Reset Individual Develop Tools

17/12/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
If you use Lightroom a lot then you can easily overlook some of the easy workflow shortcuts.

I often find myself using the main reset button, at the bottom right of the Develop Panel, even when I only want to undo the last adjustment. I then have to repeat the whole develop process.

rest_main

There is a much more flexible way.

You hold down the 'alt' key whilst clicking the tool name. In the example below the tool name changes from 'Tone' to 'Reset Tone' . Now only this individual adjustment is reset.

Canon 1Ds Mark III Inital Review

16/12/07 Filed in: Reviews
My new 1Ds Mark III arrived last week and this weekend I managed to get outside and try it out. This is an intial impression after my first outdoor trial.

Canon 1Ds Mark III review


I have used a Canon 10D for the last 4 years and decided to upgrade to a full frame. I was just not getting the most out of my lenses due to the 1.5 multiplication factor of the 10D. I considered the 5D but the higher resolution of the 1Ds Mark III was much more compelling.

Lightroom Tip - Remove old Backups to reclaim disk space

05/12/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
I prepared this tip following a question which was asked in the Image-Space Lightroom Forum.

I backup my lightroom catalog regularly. I use the Catalog Setting (below) which prompts me once a week, when I launch Lightroom, to do an automatic backup.

lightroom backup setting

It's a good idea to have this reminder, and to do the backup, but if you have been doing this over many months, as I have, then a considerable amount of disk space gets taken up with backups.

I checked my '/Lightroom/Backups/' folder recently and there were over 3GB of backups!

You have to delete the backups manually so make sure you leave the last couple in place.

Worth doing if you are short of disk space!
