Lightroom 3 brought us the ability to add video to the Lightroom catalog and a crude way to preview them. I’m not going to get into all the reasons, uses and benefits of video here because we fully embrace it and have quite a few training titles on video for photographers already. Unless you have been living on a desert island, or you have your head buried in the sand, you will know that video is very popular with DSLRs and Micro 4/3 cameras. I accidently discovered if I hold down the alt/option key and drag around an area of the map, Lightroom will zoom to that location.Ĭheck out the video on the map module in Lightroom 4 Video Here is a tip for you: After you have spent a great deal of time zooming in and out, you will wish (as I did) for a way to make a marquee selection. If you have a tracklog file for a handheld device or app (such as geotagphotos), you can import the file into Lightroom 4. The filter bar at the top of the module also allows you to sort the Photos in the filmstrip based on location. You can now drop the photos onto the map and have them added to the tags. Doing this will cause the map to display that exact location. You can type a location into the search bar at the top right of the screen. Click the badge or double click the photograph thumbnail to go to the location on the map. Once a photograph is tagged, a badge will display to indicate that tagging has been added. Click the arrows to cycle through each photograph that is tagged in the corresponding location. When you click on a pin, you will see a thumbnail pop up. New, since the public beta is the inclusion of reverse Geo-Tagging, as you drop your images onto the maps, their metadata is populated with location data including GPS coordinates and city and street names. If you don’t have a GPS enabled camera, you can manually drop the photos from the filmstrip directly to the map to create pins. It’s actually very accurate as you can see my photographs snaking up the road of MT. You can zoom in and out of the map using the slider or mouse wheel. If you are using an iPhone or other camera that has built in GPS, then the photographs are automatically added to the location that each photograph was captured. The photographs can appear on the map exactly where they were shot. Lightroom 4 taps into Google Maps and allows you to geo-tag your photographs.

While this dithering effect might be a nice novelty for a second, I have a feeling the moire reduction will be a popular feature.
#PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 4 SERIES#
Having used the Sony NEX and Lumix GF series of Micro 4/3 cameras, I have noticed moire patterns sneaking into some photographs. Wait, did I just say Moire? There is now a moire reduction filter, which works really well. More options have been added to local corrections (Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter) these include White Balance, moire, noise, shadows and Highlights.

Some of your previous presets will need to be upgraded to properly work with Lightroom 4. Using these sliders is very intuitive (Did you ever know the difference between exposure and brightness anyway? – I know there is a difference, but it was a point-making rhetorical question).PV 2012 produces good results without much effort. Having used these for a while, I’m a big fan of the new Proccess Version. The Whites and Black set the white and black points in the histogram, much like what you would expect from the white and black slider in Photoshop levels. Shadow Highlight replace Recovery and fill light with some changes to try and eliminate halos in images that are heavenly processed. These are more consistent with what we are used to working with in Photoshop. The sliders have largely been replaced with Shadow, Highlight, Whites and Blacks. The main change is dropping of the Brightness, Recovery and Fill Light sliders. There are some big feature inclusions in the latest iteration of Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom 4
