Greetings -

I am trying to figure out if/how to see whether or not vibration reduction (or image stabilization) was active for a given image, when viewing that image in Lightroom.

Can anyone help me out, with this?

Thanks,
– Dave DOwns

Thanks for the video Matt… It was a really great help. I hope you do come up with more before & after videos and maybe do another portrait with a another subject inside.

Cheers

Hey Matt!

Have only just started watching your killer-tips and I absolutely love them! So helpful! I have found these before/ after tips perhaps the most helpful. The workflow and the cross photoshop tips. Brilliant!

Thanks,
Andy (from Australia)

I found this video very helpfull, I really enjoy watching your tutorials. But what I would like to see is What do you normally do with the eyes. Because usually when I retouch my photos I find it quite difficult to make the eyes pop out, yet still look natural.

Have a pleasant summer

I just discovered your site, and I’m already picking up some great little tips. I think I have a flaw with my Lightroom, and I wonder if you’ve ever encountered it before. The little “buttons” (that allow you to go back and make changes to the various adjustment brushes you have applied) have never appeared on my screen. I have the most recent version of Lightroom 2, and these “buttons” (don’t know what else to call them) have never once appeared since I installed the software. Is there a setting somewhere that I can’t find?

I’ve thought about deleting and reinstalling the software, but I wouldn’t really know the procedure for getting my library all set up again. Can you help? Have you ever heard of this problem?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this tutorial, this was the first i´ve seen and i´ll be def. watch the others..i wonder if you can record another one on portraits and show how to bring “catchlights” in the eyes of the subject if there are any like in this particular image on the tutorial..would bring more life into the subject right and one more, if you talking/using those shortcuts, is it possible that you make a extra text list or those you used in the tutorial and post it as comment under the video whit some short desciption ? thanks again michael

Great ‘how to do vid’. could you do some ‘why you’re doing it vids’. I can see from the before and after that the after looks better, but if I had the starting photo, I’d think it was good and wouldn’t think of making any of the changes you did. i.e. what makes a photo look good and how to spot what you can do to it?
