Jake -
When boosting photos to your site from lightroom, what do you preset for size? My images are too big for my site. Shrinking them down in iphoto or Picasa is what I’ve had to do. (I only shoot RAW – shrink down to JPEG is mandatory for site, but can’t be larger than 2mb.) Also, lightroom watermarks invisibly. How are you marking visibly? (I’ve found this in Picasa, too.)

Just bought Lightroom, so tutorial is sooooo appreciated.

Thanks.

Deb.

Randi,
I convert all my photos to sRGB for the web… seems to work well! If you use the “Save for Web” command in Photoshop you need to click that little arrow with a circle around it (next to the preset) and in there you will see and option to convert to sRGB.

Great posts. Love the behind the scenes stuff. Makes it so fun to read/look through. Thanks for the tutorial. Makes me want to go back to raw. I have been editing in the raw editor, but not shooting in raw. Question: What color space do you work/blog/save in?? My images are so washed out once they get to the web. Pointers? Thanks!

Jake,
no problem. it is in the preferences tab and the external editing tab of LR. you can chose a tiff or psd. i choose psd and it saves back and stacks it next to my original file in LR with the layers i have created in tact. that way if i want to go back into CS4 and change a layer or something it is very easy to do so. LR is very awesome and does very well for catalog management. i am still learning alot as far as editing and your tutorials are great!! thanks for your tutorials.

Jake,

great tutorial and website. you give alot of inspiration and i check back often

in my experience in the right click and edit in CS4 with a raw file photoshop opens the file in CS4. after you are done working on it it saves the file back to lightroom as a PSD file or tiff. i think it is whatever you set as your file options in your LR settings, but i have never had ACR open when doing it this way. am i missing something here?
