I’ve been watching the videos of Matt Kloskowski show users how to get around in Lightroom 2.0. I’m about half way through the videos for 2.0 on Kelby Training.
However, there is one thing that we haven’t covered yet and that I’ve been wondering about–that little brush that comes with 2.0. What the heck is it and how do you use it?
Well Matt has a new video that explains just that. Check it out.
Matt Kloskowski has added new presets for those who use Lightroom and want to simplify their workflow. Check them out on his website.

The Online Photographer has made a deal with Ctein and not only can you view these beautiful dye transfer prints but you can even own them for a steal of a price.
For about a year now, I’ve been after our regular contributor, Ctein, to see if he’d be willing to offer to our readership a fine example of a dye transfer print for a bargain price. Dye transfer (Ctein is perhaps the leading expert in the world today on dye transfer printing from color negatives—other specialists tend to work from transparencies) is the print equivalent of Kodachrome, the granddaddy of deluxe color techniques. Even in its heyday it was reserved for Rolls-Royce projects: advertising photography for reproduction and museum exhibition prints. It has always been expensive.
To really “get” what photographic print quality is all about, you need to see it for yourself. Words only go so far. [via TOP]
