I'd like to thank all you guys for writing this stuff up. I've been reading it for the past few days and the amount of stuff I've learned is absolutely mind boggling. I know I will not remember hardly any of it, so I will definitely keep coming back to a lot of the tuts, and I still don't understand colour profiles haha! I just bought lightroom too because you guys make it look and sound like an excellent tool to go along side photoshop! I look forward to trying to learn it, do you guys have any places to start with it? Or just play around and see what happens?

I have this one picture I've had for ages that I think has the potential to be awesome. However I'm struggling to process it well. Here's the original: http://j.photos.cx/IMG_1009-ee7.JPG And here's something like what I was thinking, but it's still not great: http://j.photos.cx/IMG_1009small-f4f.jpg What would you guys do with it? I really wish I'd shot RAW now. I hope too much detail is not lost in the highlights? Shooting in an alley is hard!

Does anyone know if there's any lightroom plug-ins to mimic an effect like this at all?

Is this the right thread to ask about lightroom? I'm using lightroom 2.4 and it appears to have deleted a bunch of random images in the middle of some images that I imported. Why would this be? And is there any way to get them back? Kind of annoying really. Is there any way I can make lightroom not be able to delete things?

brad industry posted:Are you sure you just didn't remove them from the catalog by accident? Because Lightroom won't physically delete the file unless you confirm it on the popup dialog. They were in the recycle bin!  Have I done this somehow myself?? I mean, lightroom can't do that right? I just don't understand why a random chunk of photos vanished.

Can anyone tell me what these photos have had done to them in post? http://www.worlddriftseries.com/fd2010/so/part2_large/index.html The colours and everything seem to 'pop' much more than any of mine and I'm wondering how it's done. Just saturation increases or what? I can't seem to do it

xzzy posted:Do you have an example of your images? Photos under that link don't seem to be abnormally saturated. They just look like they're perfectly focused under good light. http://www.driftworks.com/2010/09/jdm-allstars-silverstone/ There's mine. So did I do something wrong when shooting them?? They just don't pop at all in comparison and look boring as hell

I dunno. Even when it was sunny like here: http://cdn.driftworks.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0363.jpg it still doesn't look as good. So you guys reckon that dude's shots came straight from the camera almost then? I guess I should step up my shooting game rather than worrying about post. E: Also maybe a busier background helps? I notice he has more to pan against.

Looking through his flickr I can't decide: http://www.flickr.com/photos/coldtrackdays/tags/larrychen/ I've never shot at 400mm so I guess that's what F4 looks like without post anyway? Shooting at iso50 also which I don't have.

Ah okay!xzzy posted:Background does help on panning shots, even if it's blurry it helps fill in the picture. It adds color too. Tracks aren't designed to be scenery however, so it's rarely something you can control. Cropping the picture down so the vehicle fills the frame can help this. This was with a press pass I only have 200mm maximum length though. Silverstone sucks.

rockcity posted:I don't think the toning on the image matches the subject of the photo in the slightest. You have two bright colors on the car itself (that and the car itself is visually loud, but you toned the images to have sort of a dark, muted tobacco hue to it. I'd suggest masking off the car and doing color work on them separately dropping the saturation of the background more than that of the car, so the car stands out more. I'll give that a go. Thanks man  Is there a quick way to mask stuff out? Or just do it manually with pentool/selection tool?

Just tried my first ever 'tone-map' What do you guys think? I tried to not go over the top but I may have still done. Before:  After:  Ideally I'd like to take a bit of colour out of the tarmac. But I don't know how to .

I've just done a batch resize in irfanview. With all the advanced settings unticked apart from resize. For some reason it's slightly changed my colours? It's annoying as gently caress because everything looks a lot more desaturated after the resize. Thoughts?

Does anyone have any general settings for LR3 noise reduction/sharpening at iso 6000? I've come up with: Sharpening: 22, 1.0, 25, 0 NR: 52, 72, 0, 52, 50 Curious what others use as I am really new to this

Why dodge behind her? Looks weird. Also, does anyone have a good tutorial for masking? I've never actually tried to use it apart from to fake tilt shift.

I think you should carry the right top cloud out over the edge. The other side looks pretty good though. Well done haggins.

New channel? I don't understand channels. Guess it's time to do some reading. Understand the rest though. What's the easiest way to cutout the car? Just pentool > Select?

What's this guy doing in his sweet car photos? http://www.jon-olsson.com/ (Scroll down) I absolutely love it. Particularly these: http://www.jon-olsson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/9-2.jpg http://www.jon-olsson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/7-10.jpg http://www.jon-olsson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/7-11.jpg http://www.jon-olsson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/7-5.jpg Also what aperture is he shooting?
