- Lr Classic CC 7.1 With The Lightroom Queen [Photo Taco]Jeff is joined by Victoria Bampton, a.k.a. The Lightroom Queen, to talk about Lightroom Classic CC. They talk about her new Lightroom Classic CC The Missing FAQ book and go over 6 questions (including tips on faster culling in Lightroom, the magic alt/option key, Range Masks, and why you should use Quick Adjustments in Library):1) What is the future of Lightroom Classic CC? Many are very concerned that the Lightroom they have used for years is going away, is there hope that it will stick around for years to come?2) The way storage is not managed with the all new Lightroom CC and everything is automatically synced to the cloud, is there any hope that Adobe will add some kind of selective sync capabilities so that photographers with slower Internet, bandwidth caps, or don't want to pay for Adobe cloud storage can use the all new Lightroom CC?3) Your book has a number of workflows and decision trees, what are they about and how can they help photographers use Lightroom Classic CC better?4) Adobe has said they are working very closely with Intel on a 7.2 update to Lightroom Classic CC to address some nagging performance issues. When can we expect that update and what will be in it?5) I have a workflow that works extremely well for me and one of the reasons is the way I use the Library module to cull. I don't know how many photographers are aware of the G and E hotkeys in the Library module to switch between Grid and Loupe view, but it has sped up my culling significantly. When you go to the Library module you start of in the grid view by default, which is great for culling, but sometimes to decide between a couple of photos which I want to use I need to see a larger version of the photo. When that happens I select the photo I want to see and hit the E key to switch to Loupe view and can see the image take up the whole view instead of the smaller thumbnail in Grid view. When I have decided I go back to Grid view by hitting the G key. With all of your work with Lightroom users over the years, do you have a tip for photographers who generally know their way around but may not know that could really help them use the application better?6) My favorite feature added to Lightroom Classic CC is Range Masking. Something you can do now with gradient and radial filters, and the adjustment brush. When you have applied either of those things on the photo the masking panel where you can adjust the photo with that mask has a new item at the very bottom called Range Mask. It is a drop down where you can choose Color or Luminosity. I don't tend to adjust my photos based on colors, but I want to target adjustments based on luminosity (brightness) all the time. You could sort of get there previously with the auto-mask of the adjustment brush, but now if you pick Luminosity in the Range Mask drop down you can use range and smoothness sliders to tell Lightroom more specifically where to apply the adjustment. It is an awesome new feature. What new feature do you like best in Lightroom Classic CC?Resources Mentioned in the Episode:========================Lightroom CC/6 Keyboard Shortcuts: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/keyboard-shortcuts/lrcc6/Victoria’s website: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/Victoria’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/lightroomqueenVictoria’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lightroomqueenVictoria’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vbampton/Other Photo Taco Resources:==================Vote for Jeff’s “Cull” module idea to be added to Lightroom: http://bit.ly/cullmodulePhoto Taco Archive: https://improvephotography.com/category/taco/Improve Photography Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ImprovePhotographyListeners/Photo Taco Instagram: https://www.instagram.38 min

They talk about how file size, pixel dimensions, and DPI don’t really have anything to do with each other, how Adobe isn’t doing photographers any favors with how DPI is so prominently displayed in Photoshop and Lightroom, and how even the best of pros don’t really seem to understand the concepts.Two listener questions that represent hundreds of requests to help with DPI:I did a headshot for a “program”. I delivered it at 2000×3000 pixels and 300 dpi…..Now I get a note that it is not hi res enough (and not 300 dpi), but this is from someone just relating what they were told by the program people. Shouldn't my specs be “hi res” enough? Not sure what they are looking forI have a file that is 17MB and 4480×6720 at 300dpi. Do you have a chart that shows up to how big that can be printed?58 min

29 min - IP Roundtable – Listener SpotlightEric Fortman: I’m a Biologist who uses photography to communicate science. Sometimes I use photography to capture data. (e.g. Seaside sparrow coloration, and wood stork foraging). Sometimes it is used in conversations is between scientists to help describe a certain phenomenon (e.g. landscape photos can help describe the habitat of a specific cite). Sometimes used in conversations with the public to get them to understand our research, and care about conservation (e.g. the clearing and stain technique used in Morphology).I started photography in high school, and continued in college as the photo editor of the student newspaper. In college I started using photograph to document some of the scientific research I see around me. After graduation, I began incorporating photography in some of my research positions with universities and wildlife management agencies. Most of my work has roots in photo journalism. But I branch into fine art as well.Morphology is the first project I have created specifically for a gallery setting. It explores concepts of biodiversity, form & function. I hope to get viewers to consider the incredible diversity of structure found in fishes, and foster an appreciation for the complexity of the natural world.All of the species featured are found in the costal waters of Florida. Each specimen goes through a chemical process that stains bone: red, cartilage: blue, and renders other flesh transparent. Depending on the specimen, it takes about 3 weeks to complete the process.In October of 2016, the first phase of the project opened at the DNA by the Hand of Man Gallery in Gainesville, FL. Currently in its second phase I am working to expand the number of species included. My eventual goal is to photograph one species from every fish Family found in Florida. Limited edition C-type or aluminum prints are available for purchase.I also included a copy of my CV if you are interested.Tips:Use a constant light source for macro work. It will make your life easier.Don’t be afraid to try new techniques. Weather it’s focus stacking, HDR, etc. Start in a low preserve situation, and get the basics down. When you find a story that requires the technique. You will be glad you had some practice first.Make photos, even if they suck. Photography is iterative. Just like a painter will sketch, and sketch, and sketch, until they hit on idea that is worthy of becoming a painting. Do the same with a camera.Give yourself permission to work on a personal project. It ties easy to fall into the trap of making photos for everyone else but yourself. It will be worth your time and money, and make you happier to.EricFortman.com and on Instagram.29 min

1 hr 6 min - Latitude (EP-16)Welcome Introduction:Topic 1: Brent: Bags:I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” backpack since I’m wanting to distribute the weight better than a shoulder bag will do. I looked far and wide and Here’s what I found that isn’t available at B&H.WolfePack Capture. It’s a backpack with a release mechanism allowing you to lower the pack and swing it around front. You can attach it to the front of the harness for better security. I’m just not sure I would be OK with the cables wrapping around my body.https://us.wolffepack.com/products/captureShimoda Designs bags. They make a 40L bag and a larger bag. The 40L looks good, but its purpose seems a bit more than what I’m needing out of a bag. I expect this bag to be available through normal retailers soon since they are connected with Tenba and had a very successful Kickstarter campaign.http://www.shimodadesigns.comEagle Creek Straight Up Business Brief Case. This bag is awesome. It’s a shoulder bag with integrated straps to turn it into a backpack. It can also perfectly hold my camera insert from my Tenba DNA 13 so it makes for the perfect camera bag too. It also has extra room for stuff inside the bag. Cons: no water bottle holder or tripod holder. I bought this bag for work.https://shop.eaglecreek.com/straight-up-business-brief-rfid/d/1481C1243?CategoryId=1411REI Trail 40. I bought this bag and I’m trying it out. Pros… Doesn’t look like a camera bag. It barely fits under the seat in front of me when I’m flying, but it does, it also fits in the overhead compartment on a Q-400, the puddle jumper planes that serves my airport.It also holds my computer and has an EXCELLENT harness, better than any camera bag I’ve seen or tried. It also has great access to the interior portion of the bag and I use a camera insert to hold my gear, plus it has extra room for chargers etc. It has two water bottle holders, one for my tripod one for my water, and it has built in straps to hold that tripod in place.Cons, It’s slightly larger than I’d like it, Its pockets for extra gear aren’t optimized for the photographer but workable.https://www.rei.com/product/880839/rei-co-op-trail-40-pack-mensAnnouncement: Brent: Two workshops, Ireland and Croatia are now ready to go on the site. Talk briefly about each.Charleston attendees, I recently added a Sunday workshop with a sunrise boat tour and more.Topic 2: Brent: Releases and intellectual property revisited.I know we’ve talked about this somewhat recently, but I just received updated guidelines for shooting on private property and intellectual property from my photo agent.For those of you that don’t know, I shoot travel images and submit to a stock agency in the Seattle area. They have worldwide distribution and partnerships with other smaller agencies. (it’s not Getty that I’m listed with)Here’s the basic idea on the restrictions I’m under now, if I want to submit stock:Street art: Won’t take it anymore. Unless releases are obtained, they’ll only take very little for editorial use onlyArchitecture: For unique buildings especially, they can’t be marketed commercially, so we need to mark them as “for editorial use only. Same goes for botanic gardens, bridges, homes etc.Street scenes: Fine if no single business is highlighted. Contributors are encouraged to remove license plates, boat names, ID numbers and the like.The basic reason this has come up is that folks are finding ...1 hr 6 min
