Hallo Christine, I've been using LR5 for some time now and found some minor problems here and there. Little bugs that I worked around—like some weirdnesses editing overlays in the Print module, an odd bug when importing from a source that contained PNGs and any .XMP files, etc. Adobe has

Fun gallery, Christine. Count me as a PDMLer who _does_ like vignetting, of the dark kind anyway. I try to keep it pretty subtle most of the time, but a tunnel is just the ticket on occasion. I haven't updated to Lr 5 yet; it's on my ToDo list and I expect I'll like it just fine, having used the

Your trials have convinced me that I need the upgrade. I am eagerly awaiting the LR5 upgrade sale later this year. So many hobbies, so little cash :-) The upright tool will be a great help in making a lot of my travel photos more pleasing. Too often there is no time or space to get a decent

Gerrit: in the meantime you can perspective-straighten your shots manually in Lr4. In the Develop module, under Lens Corrections choose the Manual tab. Enable Constrain Crop. Then tweak the Transform: Vertical slider to suit. The other sliders may be required for other types of distortion. You can

Thanks, Godfrey. Just updated to the 5.2 release candidate and seems pretty good. I have no idea what bugs LR 5 had, but I'm glad they are gone. lol. Though I do agree LR 5 seemed less snappier than the LR 4+. I think I'll have to upgrade my memory on the iMac. I've been meaning to do

Yep, what Bruce said. The manual option is still and excellent tool, and it's still around in Lightroom 5. With LR 5 you'll get the option to do a bit of automatic work (which I think is very good) and manual tweaking. Try it. What's great about LR is you can experiment away, then with one

Welcome back. Some very good photography and just as good photoshoppery in that gallery. I haven't yet bought LR 5 and I might take a while to do so, as LR 4.4 suits me just fine. However it is good to have you back with our fold, Christine :-). On 8/4/2013 8:49 PM, Christine Aguila wrote:
