Last week at our Hudson River Photography Workshops, Photoshop Lightroom 2 rocked the house.
This week, Adobe announced Photoshop Lightroom 3 BETA. Lots of cool features, as you'll see on the Adobe Labs site. For me, the best feature: Getting the best from ever shot.
I took this shot of the New Croton Dam last week on our Workshop with my Canon 5D Mark II. The fog was amazing. I had not seen it before - and I have lived here for 25 years. It was also snowing and freezing!
The dam was built in 1906, so I thought the Creative - Sepia preset in Lightroom was appropriate.
Tip: Take the color out of a scene, and you remove some of the reality. Remove some of the reality, and a picture becomes more artistic.
Download Lightroom 3 BETA.. and let the games begin! Great fun - and great creative enhancements await....
