January 26, 2011

This is one of my favorite images. Here’s what it looked like before I applied one simple Lightroom preset from Pretty Presets. Isn’t that a huge difference?

Lightroom Tutorial: Can this image be saved? Reprise.

January 18, 2011

Lightroom can work wonders on images. Can it save an image that starts out terrible? No. Do you remember my quick edit on a pic that was awful out of camera, but that my girlfriend loved? The picture absolutely wasn’t worth saving, except that I took it on a fun night out with friends. Stu [...]

Selective Edits without Selecting

January 7, 2010

You guys know that I hate selecting parts of my images in Photoshop. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the magnetic lasso, the Magic Selection Tool, or anything else. I just don’t like it.
