Comments on: Lightroom 3 is Alive! http://lightroomkillertips.com/2010/lightroom-3-is-alive/ Online Photoshop Lightroom Tutorials and Tips with Matt Kloskowski Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:08:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joanna Birch http://lightroomkillertips.com/2010/lightroom-3-is-alive/#comment-21034 Joanna Birch Tue, 10 May 2011 20:09:54 +0000 http://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=2335#comment-21034 Help This is a really basic question and I thought I had it sussed. It's about finding 'lost' photos. When I go to find a photo should I be matching it with a saved jpeg of my final edited version OR the original import RAW version. When I do the latter it then overwrites. I can't seem to work out by trial and error. Can you tell me what I should do and yes I do have your book and have read the workflow which I though worked but now I'm stuck :) Help

Just a question related to feature list of Lightroom 3 in relation to Bridge: I know Bridge can access the results of edits in LR with "write to xmp" on, but does this apply to virtual copies? That is, I haven't been able to make it work, but I am not a pro in using LR*, so there might be a way I don't know of... *Also, I use LR2 & CS4, and this might be implemented only in LR3 & CS5 Technically I would imagine this to be a Bridge feature, but it might be tied to how Lightroom exports/writes changes to xmp. The reason for asking is that I use LR to edit and manage photos, but when doing collages and things of that nature in PS I tend to access files via Bridge (and rare cases Finder), and since I can not find out how to do this, I thought this would be a good place to pop the question...

I am contemplating the same purchase (student version vs upgrade) since I am still using Lightroom 1, but am worries about not being able to upgrade the student version in the future (new Lightroom versions), and moving photos from Lightroom 1 into Lightroom 3 student version. Any problems? Thanks!! Did you have any problems with the student version?

It's in bad need of a major redesign and content overhaul, and I wonder if LR3's web publishing capabilities work particularly well with any specific web design templates or services. I am looking to leverage LR as much as possible for the redesign and upkeep of my site. Thanks for any thoughts, and for all the great material you publish! Bruce Matt,

I just want that x button to reject as I go sometimes on big theatre shoots. Is there another reject keyboard shortcut that my searches have missed? its a pain to do it individually as I go? Now x just changes the crop tool around? I know I can do this in Library mode but after a quick look at that I just like to change my mind as I go along in Develop module.
