Video – Lightroom, Photoshop, and Color Spaces
Hi folks! Getting ready for a long 4th of July weekend here and I thought I’d leave you with a video for the long weekend. There’s always lots of questions around color spaces and color profiles in Lightroom and how they relate to what we do in Photoshop. So I thought I’d cover some of the general best practices when moving your photos between Lightroom and Photoshop. Obviously, there’s a few choices – ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB (1998), or sRGB. Luckily, there’s pretty much 2 main options to choose and I’ll cover when to use each one in the video. Oh yeah, make sure you leave any comments if you know of any good articles or websites on the topic. Take care!

Presets – Edge Lightening
If your first thought was “Edge Lightening?”, you’re not alone. Lately, the hip, cool, trendy, rad (insert your hip, cool, or trendy-like word here) is darkening the edges of your photos. Normally, I think it’s a great addition when used sparingly. Well, I started experimenting with the reverse – lightening the edges and the effect started looking really cool on some photos. Usually, darkening the edges brings focus on the center of the photo (usually the subject). However, lightening them does close to the same thing but in a different way. I found it gives the photo a really “bright” feel to it. So I’ve come up with a few presets here that go from lightening the edges a little to a lot. There’s also 2 flavors – narrow and wide. You’ll see the difference when you try ‘em out. They work great on portraits, wedding photos, and even some landscapes I tried them out on. Have fun!
