Lightroom in 60-Seconds: For Everyone Whose Ever Accidentally Clicked A Filmstrip Badge

Scott Kelby — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 08:16:00 +0000

This used to drive me crazy — until Adobe added a way to ignore those clicks while we’re scooting through our thumbnails down in the Filmstrip, so it no longer jumps to a slider or adjustment while I’m just browsing. Check it out (it’s better than it sounds):

Well, perhaps not in the running for “Tip of the year” or anything, but if you’re like me, and that drove you crazy, well…then your Lightroom life just got a little better.

It’s Almost Worldwide Photo Walk Time

It’s just about two-weeks away — on Saturday, October 3rd, and yes it’s going to be different (but still totally awesome), and most importantly we’ll be able to fulfill the walk’s important social mission of helping the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Nakuru, Kenya. They need your help, perhaps more than ever.

Please take a look at the video below which describes how we’re doing this year’s walk, why it’s so important we do, and how you can be a part of something really fun, important, and meaningful. It just takes a few minutes — you’ll be glad you watched it (and you’ll understand why we do it).

To sign up for a walk, head to worldwidephotowalk.com

Have a great weekend everybody. Stay safe and sane, and I hope we’ll see you back here next week.

Lightroom in 60-Seconds: How to Add Text to Your Prints

Scott Kelby — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 17:29:43 +0000

I’m back with more Lightroom in 60-seconds videos (after a brief hiatus brought on by the whole virus quarantine and a bout of extreme laziness), but here we go starting off with a good one — it’s how to add text, or your logo, to a print layout in Lightroom Classic.

I know that this video was a little late going up today, but it’s only because I’m a lame-o. Hey, at least I know it.

Stay safe, stay sane, and come back tomorrow for some Rockin’ Rob!

Lightroom in 60-Seconds Videos: It’s Double-Déjà vu Tuesday

Scott Kelby — Tue, 12 May 2020 13:04:04 +0000

So….when I was recording my latest round of Lightroom in 60-Seconds I somehow wound up recording two tips that I already did last year, but I thought maybe you might have missed them (wishful thinking?), so I present both today (and a bonus video) in case, ya know, you mighta missed ’em first time around.

And this little beauty (below) as well:

And if you’ve ever wondered what I would look like a smoking jacket and pipe, then catch the third video (and perhaps most glorious of the bunch) which is a re-broadcast of Saturday’s “Book Chat” where I chat….about my books. It’s better than it sounds, but only slightly. I share a few cool Lightroom tips, and I unveil (for the first time ever) the real process behind how my books are created (it’s weirder than you’d think). Anyway, it’s below (well, I hope it’s below – I did a copy and paste of some code from Facebbook into WordPress, so there’s only a 50/50 chance it worked at all.

My Saturday Night Book Chat Rebroadcast (below)

Thanks for stopping by today. Here’s wishing you and your family good health, and I hope you can get the vision of me in a smoking jacket and pipe out of your head so you can get on with your life.

-Scott

P.S. 5-points for you if you noticed how ‘green’ the color cast on the actual video thumbnails were versus the same featured image on the home page where I added in some Magenta and yellow to offset that awful green. I changed the white balance in camera going forward so it won’t look so greenish anymore.

Lightroom in 60-Seconds: How to Embed Your Copyright Info Into Your Images

Scott Kelby — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 08:16:00 +0000

Well, the headline pretty much explains what the video is about, but essentially it’s how to embed your copyright info and contact info directly into images you’ll be posting on the Web (to Instagram, your portfolio, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). It’s a one-time set-up in Lightroom, and then from then on you have your images embedded with that info automatically on import.

Hope you found that helpful.

Thanks to everybody from literally around the world who came to my free photography Webinar yesterday. You can catch the replay over on my Facebook page (scroll back to yesterday’s post).

Have a safe, clean, washy-hands kinda day.

Lightroom in 60-Seconds: What To Do When Lightroom Messes Up!

Scott Kelby — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 08:16:00 +0000

Hey, it happens — Lightroom screws up; doesn’t act right, something doesn’t work the way it used it, etc. Here’s how to fix it using the same method you’d learn from Adobe if you called their tech support line:

Well, there ya go!

Lightroom in 60-Seconds: The Hidden Adjustment Brush Amount Slider

Scott Kelby — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 08:16:00 +0000

If you’ve applied some adjustments using the Adjustment Brush you can control the amount after the fact using the Amount slider (and if you just said, “What Amount slider?” this is for you. The slider itself is hidden, but once you make it visible, you’ll dig it because it adjusts all the settings proportionally (essentially it does the math for you, which is nice).

Hope you found that helpful.

Thanks to all the folks who are coming out to my seminar today in San Diego and tomorrow in Phoenix. Next month I’m in LA and Houston (tickets and details here). Hope I’ll see you in one of these cities soon.

Have a good one,

Lightroom in 60-Seconds: Hidden Tip for Slideshow Titles

Scott Kelby — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 08:16:00 +0000

If you make slideshows (or videos) using Lightroom Classic’s slideshow module, you probably have already experienced what I’ve always felt was one of their weirdest decisions made by Adobe. If you create a Title Slide, a few seconds after you create it – it disappears. It’s still part of the slideshow, but you can’t see it at all. It’s hidden. Well, this tip lets you bring them back on-screen while you’re editing them. It’ll make more sense when you watch the video below.

Hope you found that helpful.

Have a great Tuesday, ya’ll.
