A Little How-to Video

Nice video Peter. I was pleased when I saw that I had already figured out where the church actually was on the map and where you were standing. I am a little surprised that the GPS was off that much: I was expecting something on the order of less than 10 feet. Nice shot, and your adjustments make it that much nicer. I've never used Lightroom. Do you use it instead of Photoshop or as an adjunct?

Lightroom is more of a replacement for Bridge and Camera Raw (and, for some people, as asset manager, like iView or Expression Media) than for Photoshop. Until the Lightroom 2 beta, it only did global corrections (like what you can do with Camera Raw) rather than local corrections.

The new version now does local corrections (like burning and dodging, and color/contrast adjustments for particular parts of images.

There are some things you would still need to use Photoshop for, if you do them. This would include image compositing, or large bits of pixel editing.
Loghtroom is really made for dealing with the large numbers of images that digital cameras produce.

Download the demo version and give it a try.
