Adobe Lightroom - I’m impressed
The more I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, the more impressed I am. Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ software was developed as a toolbox for professional photographers and consist of five modules -
-
Library - for cataloging, sorting and maintaining images
-
Develop - the digital darkroom for adjusting images
-
Slideshow - for viewing and sharing with clients
-
Web - for publishing onto the internet
-
Print - for hardcopy production
Today, I had a chance to work with the Develop module
This time of year, the tulips are in full bloom and are colorful. So, earlier this week I visited the Boston Public Garden to capture some images for my portfolio. 
As a test, I wanted to see what I could get out of a less than perfect image with adjustments in the Develop module of Lightroom.
This is the image as shot, RAW with no in camera adjustments and no post processing.
Here is the same image with tonal and exposure adjustment made in Lightroom with no further adjustments such as sharpening nor adjustment with Photoshop.
For more insight and excellent training on Lightroom check out Scott Kelby’s Lightroom Book
More info about the Boston Public Garden ……. the Garden was established in 1837 and is the first public botanical garden in the United States. The Public Garden links downtown Boston and the Boston Commons with the back bay area where you will find beautiful brownstone homes and the shopping mecca of Bolyston and Newbury Streets. The Public Garden is also the home of the famous Swanboats.
Thanks !
