Looking for tips on Adobe Lightroom 2.6 from an Apple Aperture user.?
Question by Saraa: Looking for tips on Adobe Lightroom 2.6 from an Apple Aperture user.?
I have been using Aperture for a few years now as my photo-editing software program. Last week my Mac crashed for it’s final time, and I broke down and bought a Windows-based PC.
So, I believe the Aperture equivalent is Lightroom. I have spent approximately 8 hours now trying to edit my photos with this program, but I can’t seem to grasp it enough to get the results I’m looking for. I had a deadline of last weekend to deliver these photos to my client.
My question is, does anybody have any quick tips to offer in regards to using Lightroom? Perhaps someone knows of a great tutorial?
Of course I need time to fully learn and appreciate the program, but time is not on my side at this minute, I need to deliver these photos ASAP.
The biggest problems I am having are removing the giant ‘stork bite’ that covers a large portion of the baby’s forehead, removing the orange cast on half of the faces in the photos, whitening eyes and teeth, and adding highlights and shadows.
I also cannot find a proper blur tool. And I can’t figure out how to erase. And finally, I’m unsure as to how Lightroom manages the photos. Does it directly alter the original by default? And does it save to default, and where to?
A billion thank you’s to all who reply. My neck is on the line here.
