Weekly Worth a Click

A few things that are “worth a click” here in the Lightroom and photography industry:

• Frederick Johnson from Adobe has a cool interview with John Nack (Photoshop’s Principal Product Manager)

• Sean McCormack has a Horizontal Scroll web gallery for Lightroom 2. It’s actually more then just a web gallery but an entire site with some pretty neat features.

• A VERY interesting post by Lightroom product manager, Tom Hogarty, on Plug-ins in Lightroom.

• Some interesting thoughts and comments on certification exams (both pros and cons) brought on by the Lightroom ACE exam post from a couple weeks ago. In case you missed the comments section to read them, here’s the link.

Tip – Adjustment Brush Shortcuts

Hey folks, it’s time for the first Lightroom 2 tip and I’ve got one of my favorites for you. OK, you know when you start painting with the Adjustment Brush it leaves that little dot on your photo. Well if you hover over it, it shows you a red overlay which tells where you’ve painted right? But that’s not the tip. The tip is that you can change the color of that overlay. This comes in especially handy if you’re using the Adjustment Brush on something red or close to it. So next time, try this. Move your cursor over that dot to show the red overlay. Then press Shift – O to cycle through different color overlays. Cool huh?

I hope you have a great weekend. Make sure you leave any little tips that you’ve picked up this week in the comments area. Oh, and for all of you new LR 2 users out there. Get off the computer!!! Spend some time with your friends and family. They miss you this week
