Save an Extra 50 Bucks
I twisted George Jardine’s arm into offering an extra $50 discount on his San Diego Lightroom 3 weekend intensive workshop. This is two full days of LR3 training that will help you step up to the next level.
All the photos you see on this site have been edited in LR. Without George’s videos, I would still be putzing along. Now, I get back from a shoot with several hundred to a thousand files and blow through them in no time so I’m ready for my next shoot. If you’re a serious photographer who prefers to spend time behind the camera instead of in front of the monitor, this workshop is for you!
George Jardine will pump you so full of LR tips, tricks, techniques and concepts that you’ll think your head will explode. If you think a $49 class in a conference hall filled with 300 of your best friends is good training, you’re in for a shock. Get the discount code from George and get ready for some serious LR training!
Monday Morning Tip – 08/03/09
by Lee on Aug.02, 2009, under Monday Morning Tips, Photo Editing, Photoshop CS2/4, Photoshop Elements, Webcast, Workshops
Today, we have a video MMT to showcase Focus Magic, a Photoshop and Photoshop Elements (PSE) plugin that makes sharpening a slam-dunk simple process. If you’ve been intimidated by Unsharp Mask (USM) and never quite know what it’s doing or how to make it better, Focus Magic will make life much easier. As always, MMTs require a password that is e-mailed to registered users.
If you’d like to buy a copy of Focus Magic, at a discount, let me know. If enough people sign up, it’s normally $45 but I can get it for $39. If you’re interested, send me an e-mail or leave a comment here. If you’re the impatient sort, you can buy it directly at www.FocusMagic.com.
FocusMagic is a small part of what you’ll learn in the full 6 week Photoshop Elements webinar. Learn PSE in 6 easy lessons of 1 hour each week for just $99 ($79 Economic Stimulus Special for Sept 9 session). Click here to go to my Workshop page for details.
Quick Tip
In Bridge CS4, you can open any photo directly into Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) by selecting a photo and pressing Ctrl + R (Win) or Cmd + R (Mac). So, what’s the big deal, you ask? If you want to open a JPEG or TIFF in ACR, it’s a big deal. Opening a raw file in ACR is just a double-click (as long as your camera raw is supported) but opening a JPEG has always been more convoluted. You can accomplish the same thing by selecting a file and clicking the Open in Camera Raw icon (below).

I picked up this tidbit from Julieanne Kost’s site. Julieanne, as most of you know, is Adobe’s Digital Imaging Evangelist (aka, Goddess of Geek). The specific pdf with the CS4 info is here.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found an equivalent command in Photoshop Elements (PSE) Organizer so PSE users are “up the creek” (a technical term) and must do it the old way. Keep in mind that you must be in PSE Editor to open a JPEG in ACR. Use File->Open As and select Camera RAW (not Photoshop RAW).
