Fun With Topaz Labs Adjust

January 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Topaz Labs Adjust

Topaz Labs Adjust 4 is a Pho­to­shop plug-in. It also works with Light­room, Aper­ture and oth­ers pro­grams. Adjust is pow­er­ful expo­sure, detail, color and noise adjust­ment fil­ter. You can cre­ate HDR like pho­tos from a sin­gle photo. Adjust can also turn a plain photo into a stun­ning fine art photo in just min­utes. You are only lim­ited by your own imag­i­na­tion. Once you have cre­ated what you like, you can save the set­tings as a pre­set for your future work. I like Topaz Labs Adjust  4 for its abil­ity to bring back the color, detail and expo­sure to what I saw when I first pho­tographed an object. I also used Adobe Light­room for some minor final adjust­ments. I can highly rec­om­mend Topaz Labs Adjust and all the other plug-ins in the Topaz Labs bun­dle. I use them all. The Video below has some exam­ples of before and after pho­tos using Topaz Labs Adjust 4.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Online Training Videos

January 19, 2010 By 2 Comments

Lightroom tutorialsWhen I first con­sid­ered Adobe Pho­to­shop Light­room 2, I wanted to try it out.  You can down­loaded it as a free 30 day trial from Adobe.   From  my research, this pro­gram was just what I was look­ing for.  You can orga­nize your pho­tos and edit them very quickly.   The prob­lem is,  learn­ing all the fea­tures in this pro­gram using the man­ual could take months to learn.  Then I found the lynda.com online train­ing course by Chris Orwig, a pho­tog­ra­pher and instruc­tor at the Brooks Insti­tute of Pho­tog­ra­phy in Santa Bar­bra, Cal­i­for­nia.  In a mater of days after view­ing his online video course I was pro­fi­cient in Light­room 2.  After a week I had all my pho­tos cat­a­loged (about 25000 pho­tos) and could edit about 100 pho­tos in about an hour. Wow! Other pro­grams would have taken me days to edit.  Now I’m really excited about the new Light­room 3.  Chris is a great instruc­tor and pas­sion­ate about pho­tog­ra­phy.  He made this course easy and fun to learn about Light­room 2 and Light­room 3.  Watch the videos below and see if Chris Orwig’s online video train­ing on Light­room 3 or other Lynda.com videos are right for you.

I hope you enjoyed the­ses videos by Chris Orwig on Adobe Pho­to­shop Light­room 3.  Lynda.com is a great source for online train­ing which includes classes on pho­tog­ra­phy, graphic design, web design, pro­gram­ming and soft­ware & web appli­ca­tions.  With Lynda.com you will have access to over 1000 online courses 24/7.  Course sub­jects I have taken thru Lynda.com are:  Light­room 2, Light­room 3 Beta, Search Engine Opti­miza­tion, Word­Press,  Twit­ter, Face­book, Prod­uct Pho­tog­ra­phy, Sell­ing & Pub­lish­ing Pho­tog­ra­phy, HTML, Pho­to­shop Ele­ments, Word, Excel and Expres­sion Web.
