I love Kuler! Some of my favorites are Garcia Sola landscape, milk chocolate mint, renaissance calm, sea glass, strawberry vanilla chocolate, and Tech Office.

I am really having a ball going through your archives and downloading your presets, as a new Lightroom user. I’ve downloaded actions, brushes, patterns, etc. for Photoshop for some time, but I didn’t know you could do this stuff with Lightroom. Fun!

I’ve been doing this for a while – a graphic designer friend of mine sent me the Kuler link before and I had been using it for school projects and whatnot.

I made this a couple of days ago:

It’s a little tacky, but I loved the color scheme.

Matt,
I have a question about RGB and CMYK…I will be submitting to a magazine on a regular basis and they require CMYK instead of RGB. I dont see anything in lightroom that can change RGB to CMYK, can you help me?

Thanks B

I love Kuler! Ever since they announced it for Illustrator I have been hooked on it. Especially with the new version that allows you to uploads pictures and sample from them.

Hi Matt,
I am taking your Lightroom 2.0 course on Kelby Training and you reference a zip file of photographs to work on for the course. Where do I find this file?

Thanks!

Thanks for the “Kule” Aid ! (couldn’t resist)

Hey Matt, do you know of a way to display the Loupe View Info Overlay onto multiple photos in the Survey View ?

This would be a handy way to compare the various settings of the images without having to click each image and looking at the info in the side panel. Plus you could compress the side panel for more real estate.

Thanks

Oops, fat fingers … that Mac shortcut should not have a ” at the end.

You can access kuler from within Lightroom (an undocumented feature).

- Go into advanced mode.
- scroll to the bottom of the Appearance panel
- check the Kuler box

A kuler icon will appear in the content area. Click it to search. Search kuler for themes. Click a theme to apply it to your gallery.

Shortcut for advanced mode:

Control+Alt+Shift+/ on PC
Cmd+Alt+Shift+/” on Mac

Note, on a Mac, if the shortcut just opens the help page, try this:

Go to the Help menu and place your cursor over “Web Module Shortcuts” and press Shift+Alt when you see the menu change click it.

The Kuler icon will remain in the gallery until you uncheck that box even if you switch back to “Normal” mode (use the same shortcut that got you to advanced).
