Adobe has just released a free public beta for Lightroom 5. Adobe's Lightroom blog has the announcement where you can see the list of new features, and also a list of resources (essentially other people writing about the release). In particular, Victoria Bampton's What's New post is always a good reference. (Unfortunately, Adobe mistakenly schedule [...]

I've just released a new plugin for Adobe Lightroom, to publish directly to Google Drive. I got a number of requests after Trey Ratcliff mentioned how Google Drive can allow you to display full-resolution photos in Google Plus (in his article "Google+ Now Allows Full-Rez Photos!"), so I whipped the plugin together. I don't know [...]

I've just released a new plugin for Adobe Lightroom: → Jeffrey's "Data Explorer" Lightroom Plugin ← It lets you group photos by metadata (e.g. "what lenses did I use with these photos?") just like Lightroom's built in Library Grid Filter, but the plugin supports many more criteria. As of its initial release, the plugin provides [...]

Anthony (almost 10 years old) needed new shoes, so we took him to the store and let him pick what he wanted, and this is what he got. The colors are shockingly vibrant, so I thought it would be a good chance to try out the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport introduced to me in this comment [...]

I've never used Tumblr, but it's apparently popular. They recently changed their API in a way that apparently rendered other Lightroom plugins useless, so I wrote a simple one: Jeffrey’s "Export to Tumblr" Lightroom Plugin Since I know nothing about Tumblr, I'm not sure how well it'll fit with a Tumblr's workflow, so let me [...]

(If you can't see the photos above, try viewing your screen from an extreme angle, perhaps from way above, and the image should somewhat appear. Or, scroll down...) (カメラのレンスのミスのせいで上の写真はだめに成りましたけれども、アドベLightroomというソフトで半分まで立ち直る。) Fourth-grade Anthony had his school Sports Festival today. Wanting to keep my baggage to a minimum, I chose the Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm Zoom for the day. [...]

You might not particularly notice it the first time you see the photo above, but once I point it out, you won't be able to miss it: my skin has a decidedly green tint. 質が悪い蛍光灯を使うと、肌は緑ぽいになってしまう。 This is a classic side effect of fluorescent lighting not specifically designed for photography, which is apparently what Stéphane and [...]

My previous post presented 15 different versions of the same portrait photo, concentrating on the technical side of the wide breadth of processing that I could achieve with Lightroom. Prior to publishing that article, I'd asked my partner-in-portraiture-crime and the photographer of that shot, Stéphane Barbery, to come up with his own interesting versions of [...]

A week ago, I posted about another portraiture practice session with Stéphane Barbery, but then I lost my computer to the repair shop for two days. I've gotten it back, but have yet to look at the photos of me that he took, beyond the first two photos. I've not looked beyond the first two [...]

I've just released a new Lightroom Plugin, "Creative Commons", which allows you to inject license information into exported copies of images that you want to release via a Creative Commons license. クリエイティブ・コモンズ・ライセンス対応のアドビLightroomのプラグインを開発しました。 The plugin is avaialble here: Jeffrey’s "Creative Commons" Lightroom Plugin That adds to the thirty-something other plugins available on my Lightroom Goodies [...]

My previous post showing some photos from Nagoya Station a couple of years ago brought to mind that I'd taken the shot above from a train while passing through Nagoya Station some years prior to that, on a shinkansen (bullet train) trip to Tokyo to visit a friend. I remembered the shot, but I had [...]

Back in Lightroom 2 days I had a plugin to extract JPGs from a Lightroom catalog's preview cache, something really useful when trying to recover something if you had somehow lost the master images. It wasn't my most popular plugin, obviously, because folks would use it only when trying to recover from the double disaster [...]

I've just released the new Lightroom Plugin that I've been working on for the last few weeks: Jeffrey’s "Folder Status" Lightroom Plugin It lets you create per-folder metadata flags that track personal workflow milestones as you work with images in a folder (for example, "Keywording Done", "Off-Site Backup Saved", "Geoencoded", etc... whatever you want), and [...]

This one is very much a matter of taste, but I came across this rendition of a fall-foliage scene while futzing in Lightroom as I tested my Lightroom plugins. I often need to make an image look completely different than before, so I can tell at a glance when it arrives at an upload destination [...]

I snapped this shot on yesterday's hike. It was very hazy, so the "layered mountain" effect that I like so much was strong. Perhaps too strong... I would have liked more contrast. Taken from almost the same spot, looking a different direction, is a moody shot I like of the "Azalea Hillside" (つつじヶ丘), which can [...]

They're just pretty pictures.) #post2005 p.h { font-size: 120%; font-weight:bold } The Problem Historically in Lightroom, when uploading one's photos to an online [...]

Back during the Lightroom 2 days (circa early 2009), I spent some intense weeks writing a really great plugin, allowing a user to create custom image metadata fields on the fly. If a user suddenly decides that he wants an extra metadata field to describe the weather for a shot, or the flash setup, or [...]

Well, this is surprising: iOS does not seem to be color managed. At all. This is a long and technical article.

So I was going through the photos from last weekend's Kyoto Marathon （京都マラソン２０１２) and came across an out-of-focus shot that I'd normally just delete, but it had some kind of odd sense of space about it that I found somehow appealing, and wondered whether I couldn't use some funky processing to turn the lack of [...]

After a two-month public beta, Adobe has just released Lightroom 4.0. It's not a free upgrade, but with the price now cut in half (upgrades are now $80), it's an easy decision.* There's a lot new if you're coming from Lr3, the most important likely being the new rendering engine. Laura Shoe has a post [...]
