Lightroom’s “next evolution”
Watch this Adobe demo of Lightroom synchronizing adjustments between computers via the cloud.
Charts too?
Since I know at least 4 (!) people found my “not more numbers” post interesting, here’s a little bit more about Adobe’s stock price.
Not more numbers!
Look, I spent all those years in accounting, so you’ll have to humour me when I point you in the direction of more financial numbers from Adobe. In fact their stock price never really interested me until recently, so I can readily understand if you have never gone looking for their quarterly results, but do …read more
OS support
How many Lightroom users still use Snow Leopard? And Vista?
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!
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….
Lightroom 5
Lightroom 5 was released in June 2013. Read more here, and see my favourite 5 features.
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.
To be or not to be?
The Financial Analyst Briefing Slides from last week’s Adobe Max conference are interesting. Yes, you read that right….
Subscribe or else?
Adobe are making Photoshop and other Creative Suite products subscription-only. But Lightroom will not be limited to subscription “in the foreseeable future”.

Mac vs Win 2013
Out of curiosity I revisited my analysis of visitors to this site which I last did in June last year. Since you’d have to be crazy to visit this site for anything other than Lightroom, such stats are about as good an approximation of Lightroom’s user base as one can get from public data, and …read more
Syncomatic 1.44
I’ve just released version 1.44 of my Syncomatic plug-in which synchronizes the metadata of files with matching names. The change is a “Merge Keywords” checkbox which replaces one called “total keyword sync” which sneaked into 1.43 but didn’t do anything except provoke a few puzzled emails. “Merge Keywords” works, and I hope it’s a more intuitive …read more
