Damn all my posts about LR got lost in the server change. I tried LR and I just can't get used to it. I have used PS for a long time now for graphic design and because I only recently got into photography have been trying to figure out how to use it for that. Sure there is a bit of a learning curve but I am indeed getting used to it. However LR is a completely new interface to me that to be perfectly honest doesn't make all that much sense to me. I mean I am sure I could figure it out if someone gave me the right tutorials and such but when I looked on my own I didn't really find all that much that could help me out in my very n00bish beginnings.Originally posted by Uyles View Post
If you have some guides for LR for me that would be great. I have been looking but as of yet not much has been of great use other than the Vignette tut that I found, which even then wasn't all that clear on how to do it or in the way it described it. (If that makes sense).- Kielan (Key-lin)Comment

Nah I get it.
I just screwed around with it for about a week or so and started getting the hang of it. I'm a quick learner with stuff like this though I guess.
And yeah, I def. didn't see your previous posts on LR because of the server change.
Practice makes perfect I guess.Comment

I mean I have nothing to do really now in school (second semester senior FTMFW) so I will play around with LR and see what I can come up with. I hopefully should be able to figure it out fairly easily.- Kielan (Key-lin)Comment

IMHO, I would work more on getting out and actually taking pictures and researching photography techniques rather than spending a lot of time learning how to do post work.
But I guess to contribute to the topic, I use Lightroom 2 and love it. It's great for nearly all editing work and can do some fairly complex alterations. It has a great layout with easy to understand functions as well as great workflow options to help keep you organized. If you are looking for a great guide to it, Scott Kelby has an excellent book explaining every function that gives picture examples.
Photoshop is obviously more capable, but also infinitely more complex with a much steeper learning curve. If you already know how to use it for other work you've probably got a huge headstart though.Comment

I feel like lightroom is just the simplified cut down version of photoshop made for just photo editing. Easier to understand and make good looking images, in my opinion. However, I think I'm a bigger fan of photoshop for the sake of layers.

Yeah I have been playing with LR for a few hours now (again) but this time with an open mind and it really is a interesting program, that I think I would be able to really get used to. In terms of photography my parents are real dicks and are making me sell the XSi I just got for a kick ass deal ($400 for the camera, 8 gig SDHC, 2 lenses the normal 18-55mm and a 35-70mm, and a nice Canon bag). So I am now stuck to my Mom's MFPOS PowerShot SD200 with only 3.2 MegaPixels... I **** it so much.- Kielan (Key-lin)Comment

Wow, that was a sweet deal.
I feel you though, second semester senior year ftw (as if it's any different from first semester).Comment

Haha, yeah man, I guess that is the difference.
I just have to scrounge up money for the car, and making $8.50/hr. working like...14 hours a week blows.
By the way, do you have the full version of lightroom?Comment

You lucky you have a job I have been desperately searching for 5 months now and I haven't found anything. It sucks.
But yeah I have the full version of LR2. Why do you ask?- Kielan (Key-lin)Comment
