Er is een extra sessie van de Masterclass Zwart Wit ‘From Megapixel to Mono Print’ ingelast op maandag 24 mei. Hierboven vindt u alvast een Voor & Na om u een idee te geven (voor zover een tot 16 grijswaarden gecomprimeerde gif een idee kan geven, uiteraard). Alle info over de workshop vindt u op de workshops-pagina.
De andere data voor deze (Nederlandstalige) workshop zijn uitverkocht, behalve 29 april, waarvoor één plaatsje vrijgekomen is.
One of the advantages of the fact that Lightroom is essentially a database, is that you can use Virtual Copies. As I explained during my presentations at Professional Imaging, Virtual Copies allow you to experiment with alternative versions of your pictures. Contrary to Snapshots, Virtual Copies can lead their own life in the Catalog.
Sometimes, as I explained in this recent blogpost, I use Virtual Copies to lessen the effect of a Lightroom Preset.
Saturday, at Professional Imaging, I accidentally discovered a new use for Virtual Copies: I wanted to do a slideshow with some Before & After pictures. I had set up Lightroom so that each picture was shown 2 seconds, with a transition time of one second. But I also had an introductory text slide (which I had made in Photoshop and imported into Lightroom), and 2 seconds wasn’t enough for people to read all of that. I could of course change the timing for the entire show, but then it would have lasted way too long… So, I just made a Virtual Copy of the text slide which effectively doubled the time it would be shown. As this still wasn’t enough, I made a second VC.
For those of you who did not make it to Professional Imaging, here’s the slideshow.
So how ‘bout you: what do you use Virtual Copies for?
I’ll be doing a couple of short (well, 45 minutes is short for me, anyway…) Dutch (or Flemish, I should say) Lightroom demoes at Professional Imaging in Nieuwegein in the Netherlands this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
One of the cool yet often overlooked Lightroom features is the Web Module. As a photographer, you undoubtedly want to show your work to your friends, clients and possibly even the whole world! However, if you’re like me and you think that css is a detective series with enough spinoffs to make you dizzy [...]

Every journey must come to an end, even if that journey is a crazy 10 month trip through South-East Asia by means of an even crazier mode of transportation (a bicycle) loaded with the craziest weight of photography stuff such as a flash umbrella and a printer. Last monday, I touched down in [...]
A quick note for the Dutch-speaking (or at least Dutch-reading) readers of this blog:
In het december-nummer van het Nederlandse fotografievakblad ‘De Fotograaf’ is ondertussen de vijfde aflevering over PortraitsOfAsia verschenen. Bij het schrijven ervan hadden we net de cultuurshock tussen Singapore en India meegemaakt, en dat merk je ook aan de tekst.
