A 4.5 Hour Multi-Segment Training Video with Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe
Though Lightroom has been available as a free beta download for many months, the shipping product, Version 1.0, is quite different in many respects from the beta releases available up to now. Many new features and capabilities have been added, a few have been removed, and the workflow has been enhanced and altered.
During 2006 Michael and I published two Lightroom Tutorial DVDs; one for Beta 1 and another for Beta 3. These were extremely popular, and helped many people get up-to-speed with this exciting new program. Now, with the release of Version 1.0, there is the need for a completely new and comprehensive video tutorial.

We’ve been working on it for a while, but wanted to wait until Lightroom was announced before taking it live, but here it is…Lightroom-News.com the sister news site for all things Lightroom (and some other stuff thrown it for taste).
Martin Evening will be sharing duties as Editor in Chief with Jeff Schewe. Contributing Editors are; Ian Lyons, Sean McCormack, Seth Resnick & Andrew Rodney.
So, how will Lightroom-News be different than Photoshop-News.com? Both sites will cover their own product exhaustively and there will be a little bit of useful overlap. Clicking on the various story links will just move you around to the most comprehensive sites on Photoshop and Lightroom you are likely to find.

Over on my Lightroom Blog I’ve posted a first look video on the Metadata Browser.
The Metadata Browser allows powerful searching inside a number of selected EXIF/IPTC fields: Lens, Camera, Creator, Date, File Type and Location. For people using Genre based folder systems the Date function is one the most important features, allowing you to select multiple dates using CMD/CTRL click.

Photoshop Blending Modes Cookbook author John Beardsworth has some good points to make on using Lightroom to process multiple images: “When you’re working with large numbers of pictures, you’ve got to lose the fine art one-off mentality that’s appropriate for Photoshop”. His initial method for batching might surprise: “This means using Library’s Quick Develop as much as possible”.
