The video below is a Lightroom Tutorial | Search via Meta. Don’t know what that means? Simply put, I search via camera or lens or both.
I plan to share a short video talking about a specific action regularly.
You will need a basic understanding of Lightroom for this to be helpful. Take a workshop!
The video below has my “1st” of many Lightroom Tutorials. I plan to share a short video talking about a specific action regularly. This week we will be touching on the Crop Overlay Tool. How can I change it?
There are many reasons why you may want to change the tool, but the main one I can think of is to help out with different compositional elements. Move away from the rule of thirds and try to compose an image to one of the other “rules”

A few weeks ago the folks at Automattic (better know as the WordPress company) released a plugin for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. This plugin lets you export directly from Lightroom to your WordPress media gallery.
This saves a step in my Lightroom workflow. As you know I want to be as efficient as possible, so I will take anything that lets me remove a step.
You can download the plugin here: https://apps.wordpress.com/lightroom/
Don’t forget you can always follow along, pause, repeat and easily replicate any of the tutorial steps I take. read more
Below you will find a short video tutorial for combining Adobe Photoshop Lightroom catalogs.
As many of you know, during my Lightroom workshops, I suggest starting a new catalog each calendar year. Well this year I am going to be trying something different. I am not going to be creating a new catalog. Instead I am going to try working from a master catalog. I will be continuing my organization structure from there on. During class I plan on sharing my new workflow. I am constantly learning, adjusting and changing how I work in Lightroom. Hopefully I can make Lightroom easier for you. read more
I am constantly fine tuning my Lightroom workflow.
I purchased a midi controller which I mapped to different sliders in the Lightroom develop module.
Now with keyboard shortcuts, pen tablet and the midi controller I rarely have to touch a mouse. My workflow has been refined more, I am spending less time in Lightroom and less time on the computer.
Want to learn more about my Adobe Photoshop Lightroom workflow? Join me for this workshop.

The video above will share how I edit with the free Nik Collection plugins starting in Lightroom. Now that the Nik collection is free, I wanted to share how to actually access it inside of Lightroom CC. It is a bit different than how you would use a preset, but more like how to edit in Photoshop CC from Lightroom.

If you have updated your Lightroom CC to the latest version you will notice another big change. Yes the people have spoken and Lightroom has returned to the import dialog from a couple of versions ago. Here is the post where I show how much it changed a few months back. Good, bad or indifferent the video below shows you what the import dialog looks like again as I import a photo.
Here is the photo that was imported above after it was developed. Shot on a Sony A7 with Nikkor 50mm f1.4 manual focus lens. read more
A day early, but I wanted to share the girl’s costumes in a blog post.
