Life is too short to not take pictures!

LightRoom 4 Beta

Can hardly wait for the final release! I wasn't interested at first as previous beta's tended to mess up my workflow. But after reading about some of the new features I couldn't wait. The photo below was one I didn't really think I could salvage for much without taking it into PhotoShop and another filter or two. I'm way to lazy for that, sadly. So I thought I'd give it a quick shot with LR4 and see what it would do.


I am not entirely content with the final results, but the new controls in LR4 made it a lot easier for me to get it closer to something I'd keep. This was all within LR4, no external programs. It really makes me want to get the final release and get going with it. 

 

There are a number of other features that are exciting, but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet. The MAP feature is going to be fun and likely to take way too much of my time to go back and geo-locate my 40,000 plus archive. But it would be so cool if I did.

  1. I use Lightroom only with special plugins to get a better result. You can try to use something from http://hdrprograms.com/hdr-lightroom-4/ to make HDR photos.

  2. I like your post. It is good to see you verbalize from the heart and clarity on this important subject can be easily observed... real estate virtual tours
