This is the first part of one of the most anticipated (and fun!) areas of Lightroom — the Develop Module. Not only do we get to export Lightroom's great editing and processing tools, but we also will see all the goodies that as Aperture users, we'd been waiting years for.

In today's session, we start with some outstanding questions from the comments, then learn a great pair of keyboard shortcuts to quickly bounce between Library and Develop modules. In starting to explore the Develop tools, we look at some surprising functionality in the histogram, learn about the Crop and Straighten tool (and see what can only be a bug), go through While Balance as well as the basic Tone functions (Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks).

In the video I mention a great education in a previous Live Training on histograms. The main one I was talking about is Live Training Session 108, and 110 has some follow-up.

Watch it now…

Hi Joseph…

Well I’m late to the party but have bought my “Membership” and have watched a few of the training videos on LR. Very nice indeed. Thank you for all your hard work. You are an excellent trainer as we’ve experienced over the years.

One question I have which may have been addressed and I just didn’t see it. In Aperture we had the “Highlight Hot and Cold areas” view. In LR is see a similar thing in the corners of the histogram but am having a little bit of a problem understanding exactly how it works. Maybe you can expand on it. In Aperture I took your advice and made a keyboard shortcut using the “Q” key and I used it all the time. I’d highlight the hot & cold areas and then use the Recovery and Black Point sliders to eliminate the red or blue. Always seems to improve the image.

Any additional information you can give on this and how it works in LR would be appreciated! 

Thanks.

Joseph, I just got around to watching this training session.  There is a third party metadata program that I used to set up a custom metadata preset with the information and data I wanted that augmented Lr’s selections.  I did this well over a year ago but i can’t quite remember what exactly I did.  I did use Metadata-Viewer Preset Builder from this plug in by Jeffery Friedl and also used it to set up links to several publishing services like Smugmug (which I don’t use anymore), etc.  Here’s the link for those who might be interested to explore and possibly use:

Wish I wasn’t working my day job on Thursdays so I can listen live during your sessions :-(

All my best,

Florian

Thanks Florian — I was pretty sure there were some third party solutions, so thank you for sharing the link. 

Sorry you're missing the live ones… hopefully you'll get to catch one soon!
