Lightroom 3 – First Look

Lightroom 3 has been out for about a month now, after being having many of it core components rewritten from the ground up over the past two years, and it shows.

In general, the application is quicker at most common tasks, and can greatly hence most images that it comes in contact with.

Already, I have been able to breath new life in several images because of the enhanced noise reduction algorithms, on images that were shoot with a high ISO speed!

Another area that I have been really taken advantage of, is the built in Publishing Service for Flickr.

In the previous version, one would have to export the desired files, and then bring them into Flickr.

With LR3, after you have connected to Flickr, you just export!

There is no need to create an additional set of files, which saves time and disk space!

Over the course of the long weekend, I have been able to publish many new images to Flickr with great easy, and I invite you to take a look at my Photostream!

There are a ton of new features that have been added or enhanced, and I plan on using and commenting in the future, so stay tuned!

Adobe Photo Restoration Projects

College Graduation Picture (circa 1920s)

This was an image of a mother of two boys.

The younger brother contacted me, and asked me to restore this original studio photography of this mother, from the 1920s.

It was to be a 75th Birthday present for his older brother.

After correcting all the scratches, I added a sepia tint to the background.

If you are interesting in getting your own photos restored, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation and quote.

Attack on Adobe Illustrator (.eps) files

Rather obscure way to get into a system, but none the less..

If you use Adobe Illustrator (.eps), then you might want to take a look at this…

Apparently, a Bad Person could alter an Illustrator EPS file in such a way that the Bad Person could gain access to your computer.

Adobe is still investigating and plans to have a patch shortly.

I am always looking for good books on topics, so here are a few references:

Adobe Lightroom – The Missing FAQ” from Victoria Bampton

As I find more, I will post them.
