stephengilbert Posted March 18, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted March 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) While Mr. Mancuso believes that "real men" don't read instructions, the sissies out there might like to look at Michael Tapes' (he's the WhiBal guy) online Lightroom Tutorials. I did. They can be viewed without charge at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Tutorials by Michael Tapes and can be ordered on DVD. Â It's worth the time just to find out that "Command /" brings up a table of shortcuts for whatever module (Library, Develop, etc.) you're in. The videos are between 15 and 20 minutes each, and cover the various aspects of Lightroom. Â Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterlenz Posted March 18, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted March 18, 2007 These are well worth looking at - loads of tips. Especially as the manual is pretty useless. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted March 18, 2007 Share #3  Posted March 18, 2007 LOL . I should probably get it too. There is a lot going on in these programs that certainly could enlighten us all. I just hate manuals though. Okay admit it who read the M8 manual BEFORE putting the battery in. LOL Long pause , no answer   Just what i thought to excited to shoot the darn thing first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop part 2 took me just over 4 hours - I did it at night ;-> The net is slow here!! Nevertheless well worth it. T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyspedden Posted March 18, 2007 Share #5  Posted March 18, 2007 Guys  You might also want to look at the tutorial on Luminous Landscape by Jeff Schewe and Michael Reichmann. It is a kind of colloquial production (kind of typical of M Reichmann) but the information is presented in a very easy to grasp manner. I learned quite a bit from this little $14.95 downloadable tutorial and would hightly recommend it.  I will also look at the Michael Tapes tutorials to get a comparison.  Woody Spedden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephengilbert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share #7 Â Posted March 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Woody, Â I've enjoyed the Luminous Landscape tapes as well, but the WhiBal tapes are still useful. The tip about "Command + /" to show keyboard shortcuts is something I don't recall from the LL tapes, and there are other shortcuts Michael Tapes shows that I hadn't seen before. In any case, I think it's worth looking at as much as possible as a way of learning the program without having to rely on trial and error.

Gilles L. Posted March 18, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted March 18, 2007 http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/ is really good. They have short video tutorials; my favorite because for me, instruction manuals are only good at bed time to go sleep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted March 18, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted March 18, 2007 And when you forget the Keyboard shortcut "Command (Control:PC) + /", as I always do. You can go to the Help Menu in each Module and it's a the bottom of the dropdown menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only point was that, independent of the Michael Tapes tutorials which I haven''t yet had a chance to review in detail, the Jeff Schewe and Michael Reichmann tutorials are done very well indeed. The whole concept is comprehensive enough that I can't imagine that we have enough information to really understand where to go from here. DAM is an a complicated enough concept to engage us to the fullest and then when you add raw conversion etc to the mix you have a super difficult review process at the least. So between the two, you may get enough data to get to where you are trying to go.  so far I really am impressed with Lightroom as to a DAM solution and for the most part a raw converter. Is it as good as C1......um perhaps not but better than most including CS2 Raw, Silkypix, etc (still think that raw developer is better). But if you want to get to one workflow for all, I now think that Lightroom is the tool of choice.  We will really only know about one year from now when all the current converters, and a few about to be introduced e.g. C1 4.0 will tell us what the state of the art will be. At that point we should be able to understand how to go about our real workflow for the next few years  Cheers  Woody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted March 19, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted March 19, 2007 Convert your old scanned colour tiffs into DNG via Lightromm and open them in Raw Developer, great B&W results prefer them to Lightroom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
