I’m not ready to say goodbye to the succulent parade …

I guess I’ll have to spend the winter editing photos and playing with Kim’s presets …

Do you use Lightroom? Have you ever spent a ton of time getting a photo just right (which is great) but then deciding you want to adjust exposure, or contrast,or try a different preset?

Lightroom Tip of the Day:

  • In the Library Module, with the original image selected,  right-click and choose Create Virtual Copy.
  • Work on the virtual copy.
  • Now you still have the original to go back to.
  • You’re welcome!

    Hi Barb. I love your succulent compositions. Very nice. I’m trying to keep my two beautiful bowls of succulents alive thru the Canadian winter…while I’m in England for a month…lol. I put them into my unheated attic studio. Happily, it’s pretty mild here on the West Coast so I think I might have a good chance. I don’t use lightroom, but do use an older photoshop. Great tip you shared. It’s very important not to mess up original images.

    I love the light in your kk_hazed processed photo. I need to find a place in my garden with better light for shooting… thanks for the inspiration. And I love virtual copies, when they are used wisely, they are very helpful!

    Thank you Barb for the tip on virtual copy. Last night I was editing and it was too late to go back to original copy. This will be my new work flow. Love your newsletter and photography!
