SlideShowPro updated to 1.0.2

Todd Dominey has been very busy handling feature requests and bug fixes in this freshly released version of SlideShow Pro for Lightroom.
New features/fixes from version 1.0 include

  • Improved layout: Controls for specific aspects are now grouped together
  • Copyright Watermark: Feature added
  • Toggle link to file: You can now switch off the link to the original file
  • Preview in Browser fixed
  • Cache Content parameter now works correctly

The new version can be downloaded from your account for registered users. For those interested in a sophisticated gallery environment, this $25 investment is well worth it.

Import by date. A change of heart.

This is an updated version of a recent post from my Lightroom Blog.

A recent near miss with serious data loss has me rethinking my current import by genre strategy. In a fairly recent post on Lightroom Forums.net, John Beardsworth argues for always importing by date and using metadata to create any other required structure. The background to this post by him is that I was touting a structure like Landscapes>Ireland>Connemara>Bunowen, rather than by date.

“Unless you use a strictly date-based structure, there is always the risk of your pictures either being duplicated or falling between the cracks and being controlled only in your imagination.
