Lightroom

You might have noticed that it wasn’t just Apple who launched brand new and potentially revolutionary hardware during the last week. AMD Radeon launched the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800, which are for the first time in many years, comparable to what NVIDIA is offering at the higher end in terms of performance and pricing. At least, when it comes to gaming. As NVIDIA GeForce cards are meant for gaming too but perform brilliantly in creative applications, does that mean that creatives can finally pick up a card from someone other than NVIDIA?...

Adobe has just released Lightroom Classic version 10. I’m well aware that version numbers don’t mean all too much when dealing with subscription applications because features get released as soon as they’re ready for the masses and aren’t held back for a paid upgrade just as they used to be with Lightroom Classic back when it was still called Photoshop Lightroom. And of course, different companies and even different teams within the same company handle version numbers very differently....

About a month ago I released a video in which I discussed whether us creatives should be considering the new RTX 3080 or even the absolutely insane GPU that is the RTX 3090 for our creative applications. And I came to the conclusion that we almost certainly won’t need one unless our hardware is seriously outdated. Well, we now have a definite answer as to whether we should upgrade or not....

Adobe has announced a new addition coming to a future version of Lightroom and Lightroom Classic which will please a lot of editors. Advanced Color Grading, which basically brings the Lumetri Colour panel from Premiere Pro to Lightroom, is an upgraded version of Split Toning. Anyone who previously has used Split Toning or enjoys colour grading in Premiere Pro is in for a treat. If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard of this news yet, let me tell you what to expect....

The Lightroom Classic Quick Collection. That confusing field you might have never used which sits above the previous imports. The Quick Collection is not part of your custom and smart collections. Instead, it has its own little place underneath the Catalog tab. You might have dismissed the Quick Collection as a useless feature but I’m here to tell you that maybe you should reconsider that thought. Let’s take a look at how the Lightroom Classic Quick Collection works and what you can do with it....

On the one hand working in Lightroom Classic can be an adventure. Seeing your photo change as you move the slider sliders, adjust the curves, and add filters can be quite exhilarating. But, on the other, there are many mundane and monotonous things you’ll find yourself doing before and after each edit. That includes things such as backing up your catalog, building previews, and dialing in the right export settings....

Nvidia has just announced three new and very powerful GPUs. As a nerd, this obviously interests me. But how can I make a post on these new RTX graphics cards relevant to photography/videography? Well GPUs play an ever increasingly important role in video and photo editing. So there’s your link. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-fc755f67"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-a150a8be" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512" width="1em" height="1em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M549.655 124....

The Logitech MX Master 3 is my newest and so far the favourite mouse I have ever owned. As a long-time user of the original Logitech MX Master (after many years the scroll-wheel started acting up), the third iteration of this series feels like a big upgrade to me. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-deed192e"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-fa79c192" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg aria-hidden="true" height="1em" width="1em" viewBox="0 0 576 512" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="currentColor" d="M549.655 124....

Now that we know the ins and outs of the Lightroom Classic catalog I’m sure you want to know how best to use this system. Luckily for you, I’ve got a few suggestions. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-d0ffa115"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-32720c84" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg aria-hidden="true" role="img" height="1em" width="1em" viewBox="0 0 576 512" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="currentColor" d="M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42....

Today we’ll be looking at the differences between Lightroom Classic and the new Lightroom in as few paragraphs as possible. I will try to keep it as short as possible, and yet I’ll try to cover the basics and more advanced features each individual application offers. Without any further ado, let’s get into it. I will be keeping my wording consistent throughout this article. Lightroom Classic, which used to be called Lightroom, will be referred to as, you guessed it, Lightroom Classic....
