any 10 minute turbocharged guide to using lightroom?
I use it sporadically but a friend I work with uses photoshop to edit 2000 images and I know it takes him a long time and many images are in raw.
can anyone recommend a 10 minute turbocharged tutorial to start using it? he has the images on the desktop in one folder ready for editing.
for me though, I dont do much raw work and acdsee pro 6 (which I use) quite sucks at doing raw. I notice that the image loads nice and 2 seconds later changes, as if it goes flat profile. no contrast, colors are off, no sharpness.
what presets in lr, does one need to get nikons in camera look so one doesnt need to edit every single image for the same tweaks? some images are bang on ready but when there is no preset, it looks flat and horrible.
Im not a big lightroom fan, only because the UX needs work. way too many buttons that most dont use and the sliders are horribly small and short. I love that in acdsee pro the sliders are thick like a search engine address bar. and I can hover the cursor over it and use the scroll to adjust. lr doesnt have that and its a shame. those two things basically kill my workflow and only reason its holding me back from using it. I must have speed.
shame nikon doesnt have a software where you can go from image to image like LR without closing/opening each one. thats just a pita way. too slow.
cheers guys
