10 great video tutorials for Lightroom
This time I’ll just let others talk about Lightroom. I’ve collected 10 video tutorials from Youtube that might be of interest for some of you. Most of us are so eager to start playing around with new software and stuff (cellphones or TV etc) that we often forget the “other” great features of it. With this in mind I thought that this list of video tutorials might open your eyes to some features you’ve might have seen but not yet tested in Lightroom. Learning by practice is always a good way to do it, but to first see it being done by somebody else is even better…
1. Soften the skin:
2. How to use the luminance feature in Lightroom:
3. Selective colouring:
4. Batch your settings – Apply the same adjustments on many photos at the same time:
5. How to use the adjustment brush:
6. Convert your photos into Black & White:
7. Sorting and ranking photos in Lightroom:
8. Create virtual copies of photos in Lightroom:
9. How to watermark images with your own logo/text:
10. Remove unwanted items in photos:
Other great sources to mention are:

I have tried the luminance trick on blue skies a couple of days ago (and in that sense found how it works before viewing the tutorial). What I discovered is that it adds some color noise to the photo and hence that needs to be countered by increasing the color noise reduction in the Details palette. It does not affect a desaturated photo, of course.

Great videos. Thanks. If anyone needs help with digital photo library management, you should check out these Lightroom Workflow tutorials. http://mulita.com/blog/?page_id=2
Not free ($29.95) but so worth it. After watching these tutorials, I finally understand the Lightroom library features.

Hum, seems the videos are gone … Too bad !
December 14th, 2010 at 10:59 am
I found out that ALL but one (#9. How to watermark images..) of the movies are working just fine.

Very strange … The page display only the titles for each video with a big empty space between them ! I manage to access the video searching the HTML source code for the video link …
December 29th, 2010 at 2:32 am
I can’t see the links…

I think the videos doesn’t appear in Chrome. Try in Firefox. It worked to me.
