I’m not one to pass up free stuff so I thought I’d mention this one. Jack Davis (renowned Photoshop educator, author and Photoshop Hall of Famer) has worked with onOne Software to create one-click photo presets that work specifically with Lightroom. There are over 80 presets that work with the tone, color, as well as many other types of specialized conversions that you can achieve with your photos. As you can imagine, with 80 of them, the possibilities are pretty remarkable. So hat’s off to Jack and the team at onOne Software for jumping into what will be a brand new avenue for creativity with Photoshop Lightroom.
Download the presets here.

Ever since the release of Adobe Lightroom for Windows users have been release I have been receiving emails on how to crop pictures. Many other website’s provide information but I can’t see any step-by-step tips on cropping. Well, lets see if this will help you needs guys/gals. This is how I usually publish my crops after working with my photo’s on ALR.
First you’ll need to open your image in LR “naturally”. On the top right you click on “DEVELOPE” and you will be taken to ADL’s editing section. Select the Crop Tool (located at bottom left) and make your adjustments. (more…)

Ever wonder what an image-editing program would be like if Adobe Photoshop had never existed?
The new Nikon Capture NX software is probably the closest thing. A co-project of Nikon and the similarly named (but unrelated) Nik Software company, this program uses what they’re calling U Point technology to allow you to make quick adjustments to the zones of influence you choose. That means you can saturate certain areas, desaturate others, and color-correct in the places that need it, all without painstakingly selecting them. The other good news: None of these changes are permanent. They all happen as a list of deletable and modifiable steps that leave your original alone.
Nikon shooters who love RAW may be the most pleased with the $150 program ($90 for the upgrade), because their RAW adjustments are built into the process. Everyone else can import TIFFs or JPEGs, but won’t be able to work on RAW files. (No, it doesn’t work on Adobe DNG.) Other useful features are built in: A file browser pops up on the left; you can soft-proof at will from a menu at the bottom of the image; and the histogram, if you like to use one, sits on the bottom right corner.

NEW YORK — With its market eviscerated by digital photography, Eastman Kodak last year stopped making black-and-white photo paper.
It was a loss most photographers could live with, except for a few who dreaded the loss of Azo, a paper with unusual characteristics that Kodak had made continuously since 1898. Other papers “just are not as beautiful,” said Michael A. Smith, a photographer who prints all of his work on Azo.
In another world, the few Azo adherents that were left might never have found each other. But through their website, Smith and his wife Paula Chamlee, also a photographer, pulled together almost a quarter of a million dollars from photographers and customers to finance production of an Azo-like paper at an old photographic plant in Europe.
