Lightroom Tip - Connect your printer locally
25/09/07 Filed in: Lightroom
Tips
If you are having problems printing from Lightroom
make sure you connect your printer directly to your
PC or Mac.
I had all but given up with Lightroom printing and had reverted to using Photoshop CS3.
Whenever I used lightroom with Epson profiles - or any other custom profile - I always obtained bad results; the images were almost black in places.
The only way I could get an acceptable print was to let Lightroom use the Epson built in printer driver rather than a profile.
The problem turned out to be that my printer was connected to a network server rather than directly to my Mac i.e. the custom profiles are not on the network server so it defaults to the standard Epson driver or something else on the server.
I have now have my printer connected directly to my Mac and guess what - great prints from custom profiles.

Lightroom Black and White Tutorial
04/09/07 Filed in: Lightroom
Tips
There is a very good new Quicktime Tutorial on Black
and White conversion by Martin Evening available at
Lightroom-New.com .
It shows how the HSL de-saturation sliders can be used in conjunction with the other colour controls to achieve stunning black and white conversions.
If you use the grayscale sliders most of the remaining colour controls will have no effect. Martin's method allows the use of all them and also keeps the amount of noise to a minimum.
