I always wanted to be a photographer. Travelling, walking around with a cameras and gadgets. Shots here, shots there. Man, that is so cool. But that would cost me a big bag of money. Something i cant afford. However i already made my first step with a cheap Olympus Mini. Small, compact, fit perfectly in my pocket. It’s great but not too great, just great.

Like i said, my little Olympus is just great and that’s all. It certainly do the job but quality is the problem. Most of the pictures looks dull or unlively. I’ve sneaked around some photo shops, digging. Seems they all use Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS4 which i really hate so much. Too complicated for me. Everything i do with it, is just a big mess. Nothing good came out of it. Then i found out about Adobe Lightroom.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a photo management and editing software has been around for a long time but the previous version really didn’t catch my attention. After a long surf around the net, i realize that current version 2.x (2.3) has many positive comments and reviews and decided to give it a try.

This is much easier to use compared to Adobe Photoshop  CS2 or CS4. Editing photo became such an easy job. Just point and shot. I dont even care how it looks on camera. Lightroom will save me later and i’ll get all the compliments for great photos i printed. It’s magic for a noob like me.

Quick develope offers  presets to easily put some life in photos. But you can always switch to develope mode for more detail editing options such as lights, contras, temperatures, exposure and everything.

This is the first photo i tested with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. It’s done in less than a minute.

Yeah, you’ll have that with just a click (preset) and you can see the difference. You can go further than this but it requires a little effort to study and understand about colour channels and all.

I guess that’s all for now guys. Thanks for being here for me.
