Things were getting too crowded over on my main web site with photos jostling for space with posts about Lightroom.
So I set up this separate site to gather all my Lightroom activity into one place – blog posts, less-abrupt versions of answers I’ve given in forums, plug-ins….
Longer Lightroom posts (“rants”) are no longer buried in the blog but have moved to the articles section, while posts relating to each of my plug-ins will have their own tags and urls.

- Lightroom 5, AutoSync and local adjustments http://t.co/fzuslKBRu4 In case you missed my favourite (also see http://t.co/qO0w9qb5O2 )
- What’s an Apple user worth? http://t.co/bGZcQKSTgy Half as much as in 2009, but 6x as many accounts
- RT @Adobe_IR: #Adobe adds 221k #CreativeCloud subscriptions in Q2 FY13; exits the quarter with 700k paid subscriptions
- @bakerpictures PM may be the grope before, LR the marriage, and then PM might be a final fumble. Harems = rows.
- @bakerpictures Depends on your volume. V good for its use - just take care to use it before stuff goes into LR. 2 apps will yap and fight
- RT @BBCSteveR: Meeting Russia's tallest MP (& ex world boxing champ) Nikolai Valuyev is a humbling experience http://t.co/JwKaAJpU0h
- I chose Office 365 subscription over the old-style licence. Microsoft got the pricing right, and didn't just offer me Hobson's choice.
- Crash bang wallop
- Morris the cat runs for mayor in Mexico http://t.co/piCTuUKkIN Watch out Cameron, the tabby's coming for you #fb
- @smangalick I'm not sure! Does it congeal? Or maybe it was in a jar? A very heavy, solid one? Apparently it represented tar sands
Lightroom 5 favourite no 4: PNG files
Progress, if just one file type at a time….
Lightroom 5 favourite no 3 – Managing hierarchical keyword lists

It’s now easier to manage hierarchical keyword lists with the Keywords Filter. Child keywords can now be displayed too.
Lightroom 5 favourite no 2: Radial Filter

The new Radial Filter adjustment may replace the Adjustment Brush for many of your local adjustments
Lightroom 5 favourite no 1: the Visualize Spots mask
The Visualize Spots mask helps you do a better job cleaning up those dust spots, and do it faster too. What’s not to like? Apart from discovering that your camera’s sensor isn’t as clean as you hoped….
List View 1.66

I’ve just released version 1.66 of my ListView plug-in which displays images in a list style just like in most other DAM programs and lets you export metadata to Excel or other apps.
Lightroom 5 favourite no 5: AutoSync and local adjustments

So we get to number 5, and I think this qualifies as a “you read it here first”! AutoSync now works properly with local adjustments!
