![]() ![]() I doubt they are being paid by Adobe (I hope that Corporate America would not allow such behavior by its employees) but seem to be “groupies” of Adobe who’s manhood feels threatened whenever a problem is addressed. I’ve looked into the backgrounds of some of the posters over there and some are very closely related to product development for Adobe. If you try to bring up a legitimate point about the problems in LR2 you get castigated by a bunch of thugs. Those Adobe User Forums have been taken over by a bunch of Adobe-can-do-no-wrong types. While were on this crusade to help the folks at Photomatix (love the program by the way) make the LR plugin better can we add Adobe to the list. In the mean time i guess it’s bridge still. Maybe they’ll come out with another version. I set it up as an external editor and did it that was but am agree it should output the raw files to photomatix, not tiffs. Timothy that there’s a plugin for photomatix. Any suggestions will be most appreciated. It’s due Monday night, Sydney time so Tuesday around midnight PDT. Is that possible? Otherwise I have to convert it to stills and work on it in shake, which, being a pro compositing program, lets you keyframe masks and many other awesome things. My only problem, and if someone knows the answer, please let me know. So I went into photoshop, applied a black and white effect to one of the buildings and mixed the two exposures. On the street level there are goth shops and punk hair stylists, but abobe them are 19th century Facades. I did a short film about the area where I live which is all about contrast. I’ve even done a similar technique in video. I wanted to be able to see the original timber roof as well as the stained glass windows. I did an HDR of one of the oldest churches in Sydney. Yes it can be overdone, but it’s great for say a church with a stained glass window. In under a decade, I predict HDR enabled cameras that can capture HDR in one click. I’m sure you’re secure enough to take that as a compliment and not get weirded out. Tell Scott, next time he gives you a hard time, that imho, and I’m sure many others, you’re the hottest guy on Photoshop user TV. check out the Sydney photowalk group on flickr to see my pics and those of the others. Eventually he ran out of steam, the guys with me told him to bugger off, and all was well. I asked him what ordinance I was breaking and he just babbled. It was right under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the most photographed parts of Sydney. Also managed to get harassed for having a tripod because it looked like “serious photo gear.” nevermind I was shooting with a d50 and the 2 people with me were shooting with d200’s and better. Still I enjoyed the walk but what totally blown away with how many pros were on it. That should be a requirement if there is another one. In fact not 1 comment from others on the walk on 1 of my photos. I entered the photowalk hoping to win one, but sadly the award went to someone who the team deemed unqualified, so there was no real winner in Sydney and no chimping. Does the new book offer much for someone a major geek and long time lightroom user that isn’t covered by or Kelby training videos? I have his lightroom 1 book but by the time I got it, we were up to LR 1.4 or so and I’d watched ’s training with Chris Orwig. When are you going to do another episode of Lightroom Killer Tips? You’ve done 2 web only videos with Scott: the CS4/lightroom 2 conspiracy and the one on Scott’s new Lightroom book. Oh if you want to see my video, when it’s done, send me your youtube name and I’ll add you to my friends list, and you can see it. Oh yeah, if you don’t own Photomatix yet and you’re a NAPP member you can get a 20% discount on the purchase using the code in the NAPP members website discount area. Here’s a link to the plug-in page if you want to check it out. Anyway, I think it’s newsworthy because HDR is hot these days and most HDR enthusiasts agree Photomatix is the way to go (yes I know there’s others but I’ve found Photomatix to be my favorite as well). ![]() However, I have Photomatix Pro 3.0.2 (not the beta 3.1) and it still works fine (I haven’t done any research on that part yet). Photomatix Pro 3.1 is currently in beta release.”. Now the company claims the requirements as “The export plugin works in Lightroom version 1.3 or higher, and requires Photomatix Pro version 3.1 or higher. Yep, once installed, you just select your photos and go to File > Plug-in Extras and Export to Photomatix Pro will appear. Well, HDRsoft has recently released an export plug-in for Lightroom that does just that. One of the problems I’ve had with using Photomatix Pro in my HDR workflow is the fact that there wasn’t an easy way to go from Lightroom into Photomatix. ![]()
