Touch of Color from the Nanzen Temple

My head is swimming due to a cold I came down with yesterday, so to brighten things up a bit, here's a touch of color from the same outing here in Kyoto, Japan that produced the fall-foliage desktop backgrounds I posted the other day.

The export plugins for Lightroom 1.3 that I mentioned here and here have now been released:

The fall colors have been creeping up for the last couple of weeks, as I've shown in a few posts (here, here, here, and here), but it's definitely not yet even near peak. Still, there are some wonderful spots of color, and many of them are at the Eikando Temple [...]

How to Install an Export Plugin in Lightroom 1

The instructions on this page are for Lightroom versions 1.3 through 1.4.1.

For Lightroom 2.0 and Later, go here

As I mentioned yesterday, Adobe has released Lightroom 1.3, which now includes support for export plugins. Yesterday I described what a plugin might look like to the user. In preparation for actually being able to release the plugins that I've written, I'll describe here how to install a plugin.
