Free Lightroom V1.1 Video Tutorial Now Available
Lightroom V1.1, which became available a couple of days ago as a free upgrade, has generated a lot of excitement. It offers quite a bit more than a typical point release, and it addresses many of the concerns that early users rightfully had. Foremost among these is the ability to export and merge Libraries (now called Catalogs).

Jeffrey Friedl last week posted an update to his Custom Metadata Viewer Preset Builder. You can go direct to Jeffrey’s Lightroom Metadata-Viewer Preset Builder page and use his online tool to create custom Metadata panel presets. But we highly recommend you read the post of instructions first.

A number of readers have contacted me via e-mail to ask why I’ve not included any information on Lightroom 1.1′s ability to use embedded GPS data to link up with Google Earth. The reason is actually quite simple – it’s not a new feature. Nevertheless, folk have asked that some reference be made to the feature, so who am I to argue.
Some months back Martin Evening had used a number of images from my photo shoot in Antarctica to illustrate an article he wrote on the subject of GPS and Google Maps for LightroomNews. Martin’s excellent article should provide sufficient information on how Lightroom handles GPS data in images, etc but I’ve included a couple of screenshots to whet your appetite for the possibilities this feature offers.
