Chapter 15: Simplify your editing with curves in Lightroom for iPad.
The Leica Q2 Monochrom journal.
If you’ve tried editing color images with curves in the past—you may have given up. But it turns out editing true monochrome images in curves is much simpler than editing color. Instead of those five confusing curves, you’re usually only dealing with one: the Point curve. This article will show you how simple it it to control what you’re currently using the Exposure, Contrast, Brightness, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks sliders for in Lightroom. I’ve decide not to show images and the effects the Curves have. I think it will make more sense to focus on the grid and curves themselves.
Chapter 14: Using curves to restore blown highlight in Lightroom.
The Leica Q2 Monochrom journal.
Up to this point in my photographic journey, I haven’t been a fan of curves. But I’ve found this trick from Scott Davenport to be the most useful way to start the workflow of fixing blown highlights in Lightroom for both DNGs and JPGs.
tl;dr: How turning those burned-out highlights to the lightest shades of gray will make them much easier to work with.
Chapter 13: The Domke Sling for the day’s photo forays.
The Leica Q2 Monochrom journal.
Previously I wrote an article on perfect-sized bags for the Leica Q line. A few comments came in from people who wanted a little more space to carry everything else, like a rain jacket, tablet, analog notebook, espresso thermos, etc. (We all have espresso thermoses, right?) Recently Domke came out with a 6-liter photo sling that has enough room for the Leica Q, Q2 or Q3, filters, flash, battery, etc., as well as those non-photographic essentials you might use on a day trip.
Face it: We’re lazy. We can’t even sit lotus and meditate today without an app or a track. The Buddha would not be pleased. But then…I’m one of us, so here’s the track.
Current obsession: Discomfort Designs Phantom Limb pedal.
The long-awaited return of deja vu.
What’s Phantom Limb? The tl;dr: version: An always-recording, 15-60 second memory loop that feeds a menagerie of randomly-triggered, harmoniously-pitched, forward-and-reverse microloopers that then feeds into a long delay. The result? You play a riff and incidental cinematic music back at you.
