[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 7825, member: 986"] I have a rare free afternoon and decided to browse Scott Kelby's latest LR3 book at the local Barnes & Nobles. I have read reviews that mentioned his 7-Point System for Lightroom. Since I have his 7-Point System book for CS3, I thought I'd like to see what it was all about. After reviewing it, I didn't find it to be very different from what I do but thought I'd summarize it here and maybe start a good conversation. I know we've had this type of thread in the past but I always learn something when we do them. It has been a while, too. ;) Here is a high-level review of his system: [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]1.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Choose a Camera Profile (in Camera Calibration panel)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]2.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Adjust the White Balance (via Preset, Temp slider or White Balance Selector)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]3.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Adjust the Overall Exposure (Exposure Recovery, Brightness, Fill Light and Blacks sliders)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]4.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Add Contrast (via Tone Curve panel)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]5.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Apply Local Adjustments (via Adjust Brush)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]6.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Add Punch (Clarity slider) and Enhance Color (Vibrance slider)[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]7.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Apply Finishing Effects (e.g. vignette)[/FONT][/SIZE] Comments?
