Shortly after I wrote my quick write-up on my experiences with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, I read this article in Outdoor Photographer. This also gives some nice features of the program and how it can be used.

There are a few tips on making the adjustments right on the image itself instead of using the sliders; I didn’t know you could do that. Clearly there’s a lot more to this program to be discovered.

This article has some good screenshots of Lightroom in action. You can see the histogram, the curves output as well as the filmstrip organizer.

“Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has grabbed the attention of many photographers, and for good reason. It’s a significantly different way of approaching images than Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or any other traditional image-processing software.

Is it right for you? I can’t say, because every photographer will respond to the program’s features differently. But I can help by giving you an overview of how the program works and offer a few thoughts on how it might help the nature photographer.”
