Lightroom 2: what’s missing?

domi — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:06:37 +0000

Someone always comes up with what they wanted to see – we want it all! But one thing I think I would have liked to see this time would be more advanced cropping, including some lens correction options. Specifically, being able to correct barrel/pincushion and trapezoid distortion would be most welcome. I was collecting together some photos earlier for a book, going back to older shots, with more basic lenses and the amount of times I had to get into Photoshop for simple lens fixing wasn’t funny. Maybe in 2.0 final?

Gearlust. I’m going to need more money in 2008 I think.

Axiotron’s ModBook looks pretty nice and now it’s shipping.

At least this gearlust more or less obviates another.

Mind That Child!

Not a new phenomenon but certainly more and more in the collective consciousness, taking pictures (gasp!) of children (gasp!) even when they’re your children is deemed “inappropriate”.

HDRI lighting tutorial added

I just added a tutorial using Photoshop to create a template to make HDRIs from scratch, specifically for directed at Cheetah3D, but exactly the same applies for anything that can use HDRIs in a scene.

As a dog on TV once said: “I want one!”

From the product page: “The Nova Solar Camera / Gear Bag gives the photographer an extra power source in the great outdoors. The large cavity bag can handle a digital SLR camera and 3 lenses with room for more accessories. The bag features adjustable dividers and foam to customize the interior to fit your specific camera gear needs.”

Finally, I decided to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account! You can see the pix at http://www.flickr.com/photos/domipix/

PHP5 upgrade

Stick with us while I work out what’s missingfiring after having upgraded to PHP5… most likely a plugin or two.

UPDATE: looks like the flickr plugins – soon sort that out…
