Erin Quigley of GoAskErin has posted recently about the warning that is popping up when Mac users attempt to open a RAW image from Lightroom into Photoshop. She reassures us that the warning is simply a programming error on Adobe’s behalf, and users should simply select the “Open Anyway” option.
Adobe has released significant updates to Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. The chief update of interest is the new ability to copy and paste AI driven masks from one image to others, and to invert an entire mask group. The latter was previously relatively complicated and the update simplifies this significantly.
Underwater photographers spend a great deal of time and expense seeking perfection in their images. This includes expensive camera systems, exotic travel, and significant time expanding and developing their skills. Ultimately though, our ability to find the image files we have created is critical in order for us to justify this expenditure and enjoy the activity. Alex and Adam offer some ideas about how a workflow can help to ensure that your images are easy to find.
The team at Go Ask Erin have released a short free video or “Nerd Alert” tutorial that hopes to demystify the new masking tools in Lightroom 11.
Erin Quigley and the team are back with a comprehensive round-up and tutorial encompassing all the cool new toys that were released with Lightroom 11. They will be hosting two live events on 12 November at 11.00am and 5.00pm PST. The events are free, but registration is required.
Adobe has released significant updates to Lightroom Classic. Version 11.0 has a new masking panel, automatic sky or subject selection, improved metadata controls, and batch edit improvement. Make can be created using a brush, linear or radial gradients, color range, luminance range and depth. The subject or sky selection uses AI to analyze images and automatically add selections.
Adobe has released a “sneak peak” of some new functionality that they play to add to Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. The Advanced Color Grading tool will replaces the previous Split Toning panel. Using a three-wheel interface, the new tool will allow user to adjust color values in the midtones.
Today, Adobe has released significant updates to its Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom Classic 9.3, Lightroom 3.3, and Adobe Camera Raw version 12.3 all add new functionality and features. This includes the addition of local selective color and saturation adjustment. These allow for easier removal of color casts, which are often a feature of underwater images, due to the color of the water we actually shoot through. \
Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon presents a tutorial that delves into a workflow option for using Lightroom as a tool to offload images in the field, do a first edit and sort, and then combine the trip catalog with a home catalog. This allows access to an entire image library, which, combined with Lightroom’s built-in search tools, makes it much easier to find images, particularly with large image collections.
Digital imaging guru Erin Quigley has added two new tutorials to her GoAskErin site. The first is entitled “The secret life of collections in Lightroom” and explains how these can be used as powerful organizational tools, while the second “Texture vs Clarity vs Dehaze” shows how the effects of these adjustments vary and how they can be used on different images.
