]]>The post Having Problems w Lightroom 6.2? Rolling Back the Update (Video) appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>With the newest release of Lightroom 6.2 – there have been users that are experiencing issues with the program. From random hangs to force quits – it would seem that the experiences are focused on the newest Mac OS release of El Capitan – but this is just my opinion on it.
In the interest of trying to help this along I figured I would do a short video talking about the things that could help your installation of Lightroom. Should they not – I show you how to uninstall the application and roll it back with the 6.1 release.
Hopefully this will help you guys out there. Let us know if we can help futher.
Thanks!
RC

]]>What’s new in Lightroom…
Adobe has just added some new features to Lightroom CC desktop in their latest update. The two biggest changes are a Revamped import experience and the Dehaze filter can now be applied as a local adjustment.
1.The new Import interface is cleaner and easier to understand, especially for the new user. Adobe has done a great job to make the entire import procedure easier and more effective for everyone, but still leave the extra options available for those who want more… all just a click away.
This is just a part of all of the updates that Adobe has added to the Lightroom platform so make sure to check out RC’s post this week to find out even more of what has been improved from the desktop to the mobile platform.
Ps. Adobe has added new camera support which you can find in the list below.

]]>The post 3 Keyboard Shortcuts for People View appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>As a person who does a lot of pictures of people, I am very excited to get into tagging them in People view in Lightroom CC. Here are three shortcuts that I think will speed up that process for you.
O and G : The G key will always bring you to Grid view in Lightroom – so we already know that one. The O key will bring you into People view. If you have your people scanning turned off in Activity center, this is the only time that the scanning will take place.
Shift O: Once you have a stack of images collected in either the named or unnamed section, you’ll need to name them. You can do that by using Shift-O on the selected stack and it will let you enter text for the name.
Alt Drag the Stack: Lightroom will automatically add faces that it believes are similar into a stack of images. If you would like to see what those faces are, alt drag on the stack and it will scrub through the list.
S or Hold S: If you press the letter S on the stack, the stack will expand. Pressing it again will collapse the stack. If you press and hold the S key the stack will stay open for as long as you keep it pressed – a welcome function

]]>The post Quick Tip: Turning off a Plugin appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>Here’s a quick tip to start off your Monday. If you have a plugin that you would like to stop running in Lightroom CC, it’s as easy as going into the Plugin Manager. Click on File>Plugin Manager and you’ll see a list of running plugins for your system. Highlight the one that you want to stop and click on the Disable button on the right of the window.
Now, the plugin is stopped, and no longer available!

]]>The post Lightroom Quick Tip: Use Auto Sync appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>When you make some develop setting changes to your images, you have the option to select the images that are next to the one that you changed. Pressing the Sync button at the bottom of the basic panel lets you take the settings that you set for the originally selected image and pass them over to the other images in the list.
This feature is great in that it lets you take everything from cropping to process version over to each of the images. The only caveat? If you make more changes to the images, you’re going to need to reselect the images and perform another sync of them.
Instead of doing this, I would propose that you click on the off/on button to the left of the Sync button at the bottom of the Basic pane. The button will change from “Sync” to “Auto Sync”
Once that Auto Sync option is checked, any changes that you make to the image that’s selected to the list is automatically passed down to all of the other images in the series. No more re-syncing! You can now make the changes to the image knowing that all of the settings will be taken care of!

]]>The post Finding and Updating Images in Lightroom appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>Yesterday on The Grid, Scott and I started talking about Keywording and finding images inside of your Lightroom catalog. I talked about how I use the metadata filters in Lightroom to find the images I need, as well as a way to update the folder locations of images should you need to move to another drive or device.
Figured this would make a good video to share with you today. Enjoy!

]]>The post Three Things To Use the Option (Alt) Key for In Lightroom appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>If you would like a quick way to check out which portions of the image are going to blow out in the highlights area, simply hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key while dragging the highlight slider. This will show a black overlay of the image – the areas that show up as white are the blown out areas.
When you hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key and drag the shadow slider, the screen will now turn white. The areas that appear as black are the areas that are “blocked” from the shadow side of things. You may want to asjust the shadow, blacks, or exposure to help with these spots.
Option Drag The Mask Slider In Details
We know what we are going to want to add sharpening to the image when we are working with it. That said, we want to make sure that its handled selectively. The Mask slider takes care of that. However, we don’t really get to see -where- it does this. Hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key when you drag that mask slider you will see an overlay that looks similar to a mask in Photoshop. Areas that are white are getting the sharpening in the slider above it. Areas in black are not gettting the sharpening applied to it.

]]>The post Highlight Warnings in Lightroom: Viewer Mail appeared first on Lightroom Killer Tips.
]]>Hey everyone – RC here. We are all so excited that you guys are digging the direction of where we are going with Lightroom Killer Tips. We also wanted to make sure that you guys know that we want this to be a resource for -you-. If we can help in any way, please make sure you let us know. Send us a tweet, comment on a page. Every comment gets read here, and we can try to get to them in posts as we go along.
To that, I wanted to answer a quick question on Highlight warning. Gwen asks:
“I know that in my camera I see blinking red when I shoot something that is overexposed. What is this, and how can I take care of it in Lightroom”
This is actually a pretty simple fix. When you are shooting images in your camera and there is a section that is overexposed, your camera’s screen will give you a warning that tells you that the area is overexposed. This is known as a Higlight Warning. On most cameras, the area will “blink” on the screen.
Now, when you bring this into Lightroom, you will not see a blinking screen in front of you. You may still have that problem- but its not that immediately apparent.
At the top of the Histogram panel you will see two arrows to the right and left of the Histogram Bar. These are your warning icons. The one on the right lets you know when you are clipping (sometimes called crushing, or blocking) the shadows in the image. This means that if you were to print this, there would be no detail in this area. Clicking on that triangle on the right will turn the warning ‘on’ and you will see some areas with an overlay of blue.
An easy way to fix it? Hover over that area in the histogram and you’ll see a set of arrows appear. Click and drag to the right and those Shadows should fix themselves. Note: you almost never see the shadow blocking in camera, so you might want to watch out for that.
Now on the opposite side of the fence you have a highlight warning. Clicking on this arrow to the right of the histogram at top will show you the areas that are overexposed in the image – in a red overlay. This means that these areas have no data in them whatsoever. If you were to print this, no ink would hit this part of the paper. That is generally not a good thing (there are some exceptions.. but rare).
How can we fix that? Hover over the right side of the histogram and you’ll see arrows appear there. Click and drag to the left and those areas will start to improve themselves.
Now, when you do this in the top part of the histogram, it really is no different than manipulating the Highlights and Shadows slider in the Basic panel below. In fact, you can achieve the same effect by manipulating the tone curve as well. It’s different points of entry to do the same thing Which one you use is entirely up to you.
Hope that answers your question. Remember – if we can help answer something for you in Lightroom just let us know. Have a great day everyone!
