Yes! This tip is just awesome. It’s one of those things that you just wish that LR had built in but then you think that it’s too much to ask for … and then BAM … you (ummm I mean Scott) show it to us. Thanks!

Illegal use of tripods… stealing from Scott Kelby… When will this criminal be stopped?

Looking forward to the rest of the tips, although I will be ordering the book very soon.

Keep up the good work.

I’ve often spent time making modifications to a photo in Lightroom and then realized that there’s an additional way I’d like to see it (B&W, grunge, whatever); but I’d like to retain my current modifications to see which version I like better. I know I can create a virtual copy, but that just copies the version that I have already modified. Is there a way to create a virtual copy of the original so you can start from scratch on the second version?

I just got my copy of the book in the mail today – really looking forward to reading it a bit tonight. Should go great with everything I learned at your seminar in Boston last week, definitely one of the best I have been too! Great job.

It seems like every day I’m glad I made the decision to stick with Lightroom having road tested Aperture which was good but was just missing that ‘spark’ of LR.

Cheers for the tip Matt; needless to say Scott’s latest LR book is on it’s way Chez Dewis

All the best to you and yours,
Glyn

Good tip. I haven’t used the before/after settings because I was never interested in seeing the import prior to having import settings applied, or prior to applying those basic must do adjustments. This is a much better way to compare before/after.

Suprisingly, the before view seems to ignore initial crops – which is good. Slightly less helpful is that the before view doesn’t show the position of the sliders or histogram in the before state.

I suppose snapshots would be another way of handling this?

Gee – was it something I said Matt ??? My posts don’t show up… was it the crack about the tripod in the cathedral ???

I think your spam filter is too active – seems no posts are getting through…

Hey Matt,

This is off topic but…

How do you set up a graphical logo to be used as a watermark?
I know how to edit my watermarks and create new ones but I need to put a logo on slide shows etc. What are the required dimensions,transparent BG?,ppi, etc?

Would you do a “How To” video on this?

-Thanks,
Mike
