Spent a bit of time experimenting with the Lightroom 2 Public Beta this morning, using copies of some exposures I made while visiting Alcatraz in 2006 with the Pentax *ist DS as a test image set. I did a monochrome rendering of this photo a year or more ago, decided to give it a whirl in a color rendering ... and liked the results:
http://homepage.mac.com/godders/65-sailboat.jpg Sailboat At Sunset - San Francisco Bay 2006 Pentax *ist DS + FA77/1.8 Limited ISO 200 @ f/8 @ 1/640 sec I think it looks much nicer in a larger rendering, however, so this is at ~1000 pixels tall: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2109/2423476934_c743a311fd_o.jpg Comments and critique always appreciated. enjoy Godfrey FWIW about Lightroom 2 Public Beta: Lightroom 2 proves to have several nice additions for image management and editing. It's too early to have an opinion on all of it ... I haven't had much time to work with it yet ... but I'm pleased so far with the direction they're going in both features and UI from this quick 'getting familiar' use. Remember if you experiment with it that this is still a beta release. DO NOT commit your original files to it. It seems pretty darn stable and useable so far, but for release work use v1.4.1. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
