Hi Helen,

I notice you using examples from Cs3 and Lightroom 2, I have these programs but find that they do not interact, or am I wrong?
I have tried to go from Lightrooom through “Edit”, Edit in photoshop CS3, which opens photoshop but with no image and gives a message basically saying that I need to use CS4 which I find very very anoying as I cannot afford CS4 or 5, is there a way round this at all?

Many Thanks,

paul.

@Pam The soften skin mode will show up when you click the “Adjustment Brush” icon and the brush panel shows up on the right side. It’s near the top where is says “Effect” just click to the right of “effect” and it will drop down your different adjustment brush modes.

Wow this blows my mind! I use LR everyday and didn’t know about a few of those.

Is there an adjustment brush to soften skin. I’ve found it before and I can’t seem to find it again. Am I looking in the right place? Also, if I put a soften preset on my images, can I remove the soften effect on the eyes so they are still nice and sharp? Thank you

For #3 keywords can actually be added using text edit on a mac and then added to LR. A few shortcuts that may be helpful is the “H” key can hide the circles while using the gradient filter and adjustment brush the “O” key will show an overlay of what you have “painted”, and the color of that overlay can be changed by holding shift + O. While using the adjustment brush holding down option will allow you to erase for those of us who can not color between the lines. The white balance dropper can also be used by hitting the “W” key.

It is indeed a great article and I have a doubt which someone could help out ? Is there a way we can have our identity or any writing or copyright info printed on the exported Jpeg ? from the Lightroom ? Thanks a lot

Something I learnt yesterday:
Picking a colour from the image for the Gradient or Brushes tool (I have only tested the Gradient Tool)

1. Add the gradient or adjustment brush mask

2. Click onto the Color adjustment to display the colour choice popup

3. Click onto the eye dropper and then drag the it over the image (with the mouse button still down)

4. The sampled image color is reflected back in the colour choice popup

(Thanks go to Philip Andrews for this tidbit)
