Title: Adobe Lightroom
Post by: Matt Henderson on 22/04/2012 at 20:23

So the wife and I bought a digital camera for Christmas a Nikon D3100 c/w 18-55mm lense to be exact.  We also went on a one day photography course where we were introduced to Adobe Lightroom.  To utilise to it's fullest effect you need to shoot in "raw" format something that most DSLRs and some digital compacts will do but it can turn a pretty poor quality photo into quite a reasonable one.

Nice one Buzz Lightroom  :z16

Do you shoot in RAW habitually or was that an experiment? I guess you'd need a few cards if you were saving images in that format when away on holiday?

Impressive, how many decent photo's have been canned over the years thinking that they were underachievers.

Lastly, why did you go to Dundee for your holiday? :oops

Iain.

Since going on that course everything has been shot in RAW. We got approximately 650 photos on one card so not too bad.
