You’ve gotta see this new video from Terry White on the insane improvements to Photoshop’s Select Subject inside the new public Beta version of Photoshop – it’s night-and-day! (and I imagine it won’t be long before we get this same tech in Lightroom for the masking tool’s Select Subject). This is next level stuff – check out the video below: Pretty mind blowing stuff, right? That’s me teaching in Adobe’s booth last week at “the Photography Show” (thanks to Allison Reber at Peakto) What a great show, and always an honor to speak for Adobe (I did a session called 20 Photoshop Tips in 20 Min ..read more

Although we’ve talked about Virtual Copies here on the blog, I haven’t done anything about them recently for people new to Lightroom Classic, so today that’s what we’re doing. So, when would Virtual Copies come in handy? Well, what if you wanted to see different versions or edits of the same photo? Maybe you edit one so it’s in black and white, and maybe another version with a color tint, and then a real contrasty version, and maybe a version that was cropped differently, so you can pick the one that looks best to you? What might keep you from doing that is having to duplicate that high-resolu ..read more

I had hoped to have these last week, but there was a lot to go through (though about 1/2 of what other folks got on the trip, as I caught a nasty bug about 1/2 way through the trip and wound up in bed in my cabin for days coughing and sneezing with zero energy, but I survived, bounced back, and here are some of my favroties from the trip: https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/tJndh0XPaRQcH If you’ve got a sec, I hope you can check them out. Thanks for letting me share my photos and story of the trip with you. Have a good one. -Scott The post My Favorite Shots From Antarctica appeared first on ..read more

Wouldn’t ya know it – I slip down to Antarctica for a few weeks, and Adobe goes and releases some Lightroom updates (thanks for covering them here, Rob). Well, I’m finally back, and it was an absolutely incredible trip—just incredible! I have so much to share and so many photos yet to go through (I caught a nasty cold about halfway through the trip and didn’t get to work on my images the way I would have hoped), but I’m back in the saddle now and hope to share an Adobe Express page next week with images and stories from the trip. There were 12 Pro Instructors in the workshop, including yo ..read more

Adobe has released an update for Lightroom Classic (14.2), Lightroom desktop (8.2), Lightroom for mobile (10.2), and Camera Raw (17.2). This update includes support for new cameras and new lenses as well as bug fixes and performance improvements. We did also get some new features, which we’ll explore below. Adaptive Profiles Originally released as a public beta in Camera Raw, a more refined version of Adaptive Profiles have now expanded to all of the Lightroom family of apps. For a very detailed explanation of Adaptive Profiles and how they work I highly recommend this article from the Camera ..read more

As part of the Adobe MAX release of Lightroom Classic and Lightroom we gained the ability to apply what Adobe is calling Content Credentials to copies on export. This is an Early Access feature, so expect changes as it evolves. What are Content Credentials? You can think of them as a special type of metadata that can strengthen the connection between you and your work shared online, which can either be embedded in the exported copy (JPG only right now), uploaded to Adobe’s content credential cloud (separate from the cloud storage used by Lightroom), or both. This is all completely optional, an ..read more

It just got released yesterday, and here’s one of the first comments on it: I did the course as 25 separate lessons, so in the future, if you want to go back to any particular tip, you can go directly to it. You can buy the course, download it, and watch it today for $29 (here’s the link), but if you’re a KelbyOne Member, you can just stream it on demand as part of your membership – you’ll see it on your dashboard as this week’s course (we release a new course every week). I hope you can check it out (it would be a fun thing to do this weekend, since there’s no football. Well, no interesting f ..read more

It’s called “One On1,” and it’s tips, tricks, techniques and news for the On1 Software Community.

Hope you’ll stop by and check it out. https://bit.ly/4arpK14 See you then! -Scott The post Very excited to be launching a new podcast today! appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips ..read more

It just came out a few weeks ago, and it’s in bookstores now. Check out the short video below, where I explain what the book is all about. You can get your copy at Amazon (link), Barnes & Noble (link), or directly from the publisher, Rocky Nook (link). It’s available in Print [it’s beautiful in print] and eBook versions. Hope you give it a look. Have a great weekend, everybody. All of my teams are already out of the playoffs or College Championship, so I’ll be….well….rooting for some team I don’t really care about all that much. I guess I’m going in on the Lions since they’ve never won a S ..read more

By Larry Tiefenbrunn, MD CEO and inventor, Platypod Pro LLC  Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love tripods. I personally own about a half a dozen of them of all different brands. I use them for studio work, group portraiture, even some product shots.   However, when I’m out and about, the last thing I want to do is carry around unnecessarily heavy equipment. And I certainly don’t want to be told by security guards (#TripodPolice) that I can’t use a tripod to take long exposures for whatever reasons they conjure up. A compact flat tripod that slips into my camera bag, that d ..read more
