			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ProfImaging.jpg"><img title="ProfImaging" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="350" alt="ProfImaging" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ProfImaging_thumb.jpg" width="600" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Sometimes, as I explained in this <a href="http://www.morethanwords.be/blog/lightroom-tip-of-the-week-7-fading-a-lightroom-preset/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.morethanwords.be/blog/lightroom-tip-of-the-week-7-fading-a-lightroom-preset/?referer=');">recent blogpost</a>, I use Virtual Copies to lessen the effect of a Lightroom Preset.</p>
<p>Saturday, at Professional Imaging, I accidentally discovered a new use for Virtual Copies: I wanted to do a slideshow with some Before &amp; 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.</p>
<p>For those of you who did not make it to Professional Imaging, here’s the slideshow.<br />
<object width="600" height="486"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCZwtaViSq0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCZwtaViSq0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="486"></embed></object>
</p>
<p>So how ‘bout you: what do you use Virtual Copies for? </p>

<p>There&#8217;s also a small exhibition of sixteen of my favourite Portraits Of Asia pictures that have been craftfully printed with a Durst Epsilon printer on Kodak paper by Fred Smit from <a href="http://www.wiegers.nl" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.wiegers.nl?referer=');">Wiegers &amp; Smit</a>. Fred has almost 40 years of experience and it shows: the B&amp;W prints are truly B&amp;W and the amount of detail is just amazing.</p>
<p>On the picture at the top of this blogpost, it was the first time that I noticed that there was another car in the scene and that there&#8217;s a carpet standing about in the middle of nature. Only in Iran&#8230; Come and see them for yourself</p>
<p>When I&#8217;m not talking myself, you&#8217;ll find me listening to questions at the Adobe stand.  And if all of those reasons are not good enough to motivate you to come: this year&#8217;s keynote speaker at Professional Imaging is the one and only Scott Kelby. <em>Mister Photoshop</em> himself! I wonder if I can get him to sign one of my books&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LRBPortfolio.jpg"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; border: 0px;" title="LRBPortfolio" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LRBPortfolio_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="LRBPortfolio" width="211" height="132" align="left" /></a> 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 <em>css</em> is a detective series with enough spinoffs to make you dizzy and that <em>flash</em> is a synonym for a speedlight and not some web-programming language, then you know that designing your own photo website is a probably not the way to go. At least not if you want to get some more photography done before the end of this century.  <span id="more-1850"></span> Of course you can hire a web-designer to make a great looking site, but this can easily set you back a couple of G’s. And not all of you <em>struggling-to-get-by freelancers</em> have that kind of money lying around, do you? And if you do, you probably want to spend that on your next camera or lens, don’t you? I hear you loud and clear!</p>
<p>So, what if I told you that someone who knows his <em>Flash</em> from his <em>html</em> from his <em>css</em> had already done all the heavy lifting for creating an out-of-the-box photography website for you. Even better: what if that person had wrapped all this code (the very fact that it&#8217;s called ‘code’ is a big sign to us, mere mortal photographers to not even try to understand it) into a nice Lightroom plugin.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t that be worth a 100 bucks to you? 200 anyone? Do I here 300 in the back of the room?  Well… this is exactly what Sean McCormack from Lightroom-Blog has done.  He’s made a highly configurable yet easy-to understand Lightroom Web Module Engine called <a href="http://lrbportfolio.com/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/lrbportfolio.com/?referer=');">LRB Portfolio</a>. It allows you to design a complete photography portfolio website from within Lightroom’s Web Module, including galleries, an ‘about’ page, a ‘contact’ page and the like.</p>
<p>And the beauty is it won’t cost you thousands of dollars, not even hundreds. About 20 USD/15 Euro + VAT is what you’ll pay for the plugin. That&#8217;s one less CD or DVD to buy this week, and it&#8217;s all paid for.  <a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LRBPortfolio1.jpg"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 15px; border: 0px;" title="LRBPortfolio" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LRBPortfolio_thumb1.jpg" border="0" alt="LRBPortfolio" width="600" height="375" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Sean has just released a new, identically priced Lightroom Web Engine, called <a href="http://lightroom-blog.com/2010/02/lrb-exhibition.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/lightroom-blog.com/2010/02/lrb-exhibition.html?referer=');">LRB Exhibition</a>. I haven’t had the chance to play around with it yet, but below you find a screenshot from Sean’s site. It allows you to focus even more on your pictures.  <a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lrbe_web.jpg"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="lrbe_web" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lrbe_web_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="lrbe_web" width="600" height="419" /></a> Being the great lad that the is, Sean has made a good deal even better by offering a 20% discount on his plugins and other Lightroom goodies (such as his Graduated Filter Presets). <a href="http://www.e-junkie.com/lightroomblog" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.e-junkie.com/lightroomblog?referer=');">Check (them) out</a> before midnight of March 12th, because that’s when the discount ends. Make sure to use coupon code FOCUS20.</p>
<p>In future blogposts, I&#8217;ll discuss some other interesting web design plugins for Lightroom. Meanwhile, if you use one that you’re happy with, or have an example of a site you created with Sean’s or other Lightroom Web Engines, please enlighten us in the comments!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/catchabus.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1794" style="margin: 5px;" title="catchabus" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/catchabus-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>Ok, I know, I really should be calling this part of the blog<em> &#8216;Lightroom Tip of the Month&#8217;</em> or maybe even <em>&#8216;My bi-quarterly Lightroom Tip&#8217;</em> but I hope to improve the frequency of the tips now that I&#8217;m back in Belgium.</p>
<p>Anyway, in the <a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/lightroom-tip-of-the-week-7-fading-a-lightroom-preset/">previous</a> tip I showed you how I use the <em>Edit In / Open as Layers</em> <em>in Photoshop</em> feature in Lightroom to &#8216;fade&#8217; the effect of a Lightroom Preset, for lack of a quicker way of doing so in Lightroom. Today, I want to show you another use of the <em>Edit In / Open as Layers</em> option.<br />
<span id="more-1793"></span><br />
It&#8217;s not strictly a Lightroom tip, it&#8217;s more of a <em>Lightroom meets Photoshop Workflow Tip</em>&#8230; I tend to use Lightroom as much as possible, but for some things, you just have to use Photoshop. Still when I go to Photoshop, I tend to do so from within Lightroom, because I know my edited Photoshop file will be put nicely into my Lightroom Catalog (that is, if I choose <em>&#8216;Save&#8217;</em> in Photoshop, before returning back to Lightroom. Never choose <em>&#8216;Save As&#8230;&#8217;</em> on a file that you sent from Lightroom to Photoshop, because Lightroom will lose track of it. That&#8217;s kind of a tip-within-the-tip for making up for my less-than-frequent posting behaviour <img src='http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the video. If you have other uses of the <em>Edit in / Open as Layers in Photoshop</em>, please share them in the Comments!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>- International readers, sorry: this is a Dutch blogpost announcing a new Dutch workshop -</em></p>
<p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/teststrook.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1783" title="teststrook" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/teststrook.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="74" /></a></p>
<p>Fotografen Jürgen Doom (Leuven) en Piet Van den Eynde (Gent) stellen samen <em><strong>&#8216;From Speedlight to Lightroom&#8217;</strong></em> voor: een intensieve en unieke ééndaagse workshop rond flitsfotografie met reportageflitsen enpost-processing met Adobe Lightroom.</p>
<ul>
<li>Zaterdag 13 maart in Leuven, 9 tot 18 u</li>
<li>Zaterdag 24 april in Gent, 9 tot 18 u</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-1777"></span></p>
<h3>Short story</h3>
<p>Van flitsende fotoshoot tot afgewerkte grootformaat afdruk onder begeleiding van freelance fotograaf Jürgen Doom en Adobe Certified Expert en fotograaf Piet Van den Eynde. Dat is het concept van deze intensieve, drieledige ééndaagse workshop:</p>
<ol>
<li>in het eerste deel leert Jürgen je de theorie en de praktijk om met je reportageflitser (Nikon Speedlight, Canon Speedlite of andere losse flitser) betere foto&#8217;s te maken;</li>
<li>in het tweede deel toont Piet je hoe je in Adobe Lightroom, hét professionele raw-workflow pakket bij uitstek, je beelden kan corrigeren, retoucheren en bewerken;</li>
<li>tenslotte druk je, onder deskundige begeleiding, de beste foto van de dag af op een grootformaat professionele Epson inkjetprinter.</li>
</ol>
<h3>For who?</h3>
<p>Deze cursus is bedoeld voor iedereen die verder wil gaan dan de ingebouwde flitser en de automatische stand van zijn digitale reflexcamera en moeite heeft met externe flitsen. Je leert verschillende mogelijkheden en setups om je flitsfotografie tot een hoger niveau te brengen. Een fotoshoot eindigt echter niet met de opname. Het unieke aan deze workshop is dat je je raw-beelden daarna onder begeleiding van Piet importeert in Adobe Lightroom om ze te retoucheren en volgens verschillende stijlen af te werken. Je zult leren werken met presets om sneller tot goede resultaten te komen.</p>
<h3>Voorbeelden?</h3>
<p>De slideshow hieronder toont een selectie van studio-, reis- en reportagefoto&#8217;s waar een reportageflits als hoofd- of accentlicht gebruikt werd.<br />

<h3>Who’s who?</h3>
<p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/jurgen3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1788" style="margin: 5px;" title="jurgen" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/jurgen3.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" /></a>Jürgen Doom is freelance fotograaf en werkt voor diverse opdrachtgevers, gaande van reclame- en mediabureaus, over redacties van tijdschriften tot bedrijven en multinationals. Door zijn praktijkervaring met flitsfotografie op locatie en ervaring met consultancy en lesgeven, verlopen zijn gestructureerde workshops steeds helder en &#8216;to-the-point&#8217;. Ze zijn praktijkgericht, begrijpbaar en boeiend voor zowel de beginnende als gevorderde amateur- en beroepsfotograaf. Behalve zijn <em>Speedlights</em> kent Jürgen ook zijn <em>Lightroom</em>: hij gebruikt het pakket immers dagelijks voor de bewerking van zijn digitale beelden.</p>
<p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/piet.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1789 alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="piet" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/piet-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" /></a>Piet Van den Eynde is eveneens freelance fotograaf en <em>Adobe Photoshop Certified Expert (CS3)</em>. Hij is auteur van het boek <em>&#8216;Lightroom 2 Ontmaskerd&#8217;</em> en geeft inleidende en gevorderde workshops rond Adobe Lightroom. Behalve zijn <em>Lightroom</em>, kent Piet ook zijn <em>Speedlights</em>: vorig jaar doorkruiste hij Zuid-Oost Azië en India per fiets, gewapend een digitale reflex, een flits en een flitsparaplu.</p>
<h3>Wat leer je allemaal op &#8216;From Speedlight to Lightroom&#8217;?</h3>
<p>In<strong><em> &#8216;From Speedlight to Lightroom&#8217;</em></strong> neemt Jürgen het <em>&#8217;speedlight&#8217;</em> gedeelte voor zijn rekening. Hij gaat hierbij in op de verschillende aspecten van flitsfotografie; hoe stel je je camera in? Hoe stel je je flits in? Hoe krijg je zacht of hard licht? Wat doen kleurfilters? Hoe werk je met meerdere flitsen? Hoe mix je flitslicht met omgevingslicht om tot dynamische beelden te komen, &#8230;? De theorie wordt uitgelegd aan de hand van vooraf opgenomen beelden, die de verschillende flitstechnieken en belichtingsmethoden illustreren. Je ontvangt een CD-rom met deze beelden en de instellingen van camera en flits. Zo kan je thuis de verschillende setups nog eens overdoen.</p>
<p>Na deze inleiding – die ongeveer 2 uur duurt &#8211; trekken we de buitenlucht in voor de praktijk. Als cursist krijg je zelf volop de gelegenheid om de theorie in te oefenen in verschillende scenario&#8217;s, onder begeleiding van Jürgen en Piet. Uiteraard is er een model van de partij.</p>
<p>Nadien neemt Piet over voor het gedeelte <em>&#8216;nabewerking in Lightroom&#8217;</em>. Na een inleiding rond Lightroom, bewerken we je beste foto&#8217;s. Je zult met Lightroom het onderste uit je Raw-bestand halen en dezelfde foto volgens verschillende stijlen ontwikkelen. Je krijgt meteen ook de basis mee van een goede en efficiënte Lightroom-workflow.

Last monday, I touched down in Zaventem, <em>aka</em> Brussels Airport. My partner-in-crime Ruth takes the proverbial <em>Long Way Home</em>: as I write these lines, she’s on a container ship from Mumbai to Rotterdam, hoping not to be hijacked by Somali pirates.  <span id="more-1715"></span> PortraitsOfAsia, the journey, may well be over for me, but PortraitsOfAsia, the project, isn’t quite finished yet: many of the photos I took will see their way into upcoming publications, workshops and seminars.</p>
<p>One of the next blogposts will feature some behind-the-scenes photos of PortraitsOfAsia , and I also hope to give a review on the gear I used.  Finally, if you happen to live in Belgium or the Netherlands, I’ll be hosting a couple of seminars at the Dutch Photography Fair, Professional Imaging, on my Lightroom workflow during PortraitsOfAsia. More about that <a href="http://www.professionalimaging.nl/index.php/7-maart" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.professionalimaging.nl/index.php/7-maart?referer=');">here</a>.</p>
<p>I’m excited to go there on March 7th, 8th and 9th. Excited, and also a little stressed: the auditorium can hold up to 600 people, so I’m told. Maybe the fair’s Keynote Speaker, Scott Kelby, who&#8217;s used to talking to much bigger audiences than this and who probably thinks of a group of 600 people as an ‘intimate get-together’, kan give me some relaxation tips.  I’ll keep you… posted!</p>
<p><a href="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/capture.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="Capture" src="http://morethanwords.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/capture-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Capture" width="600" height="385" /></a></p>
<p><em>P.S. I thought I might as well include a Lightroom tip in this post. The photograph at the very top of this blogpost shows, apart from the crappy bokeh of a cheap Nikon lens, a defocused nightly street scene in central Mumbai. As you may know, Lightroom has a Spot Removal Tool (shortcut N), that lets you (non-destructively!) remove spots and blemishes. It’s great for removing sensor dust, because you can correct 1 picture and then synchronise your settings with the Sync… button. But you can also use the Spot Removal tool to <strong>add</strong></em><em> elements to your photo. Here, I used it to clone two light sources <strong>into</strong></em><em> the picture (to improve the balance), rather than to clone them away. I simply chose an existing light blob, and set that as the Source of the Spot Removal Tool. I clicked where I wanted the clone to be, and… voilà. I also cropped the picture using the Crop Tool (Shortcut R).</em> <em>P.P.S. Don’t get too hung up on that Spot Removal shortcut (N): it changes in Lightroom 3 to… Q</em></p>
