Lightroom, Photoshop and timelapses
There’s an excellent couple of movies by Julianne Kost on using Lightroom and particularly Photoshop for timelapse movies .
Part 1 is the relatively obvious Lightroom work, but the much more interesting part 2 shows Photoshop (Extended) assembling the movie, adding lens blurs in a batch, and – the bit I didn’t know – including sound.
Maybe it’s not deliberate, but an odd detail is that she’s not using an Apple monitor but an HP instead. I wonder if Adobe no longer want to give Apple free advertising? That would be welcome. The HP is pretty ugly though, so maybe they could have just covered up the illuminated Apple with their own, or just the Flash logo?
Or it might be that she, like many, have moved on to better monitors. Apple’s monitors haven’t kept up with the latest from NEC and HP (Dell has regressed, it seems).
Maybe, though I was recently using an shiny iMac monitor and thought it was pretty good (the shiny screen wasn’t a problem). But I thought Apple monitors were NEC anyway.
I’m not sure what they’re using, but we’ve done some comparisons in a group of photographers here and there’s a big difference between the latest Apple monitors (we didn’t compare iMacs) and the NEC and HP wide-gamut monitors.
