Creative Potential In Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4

Adobe just released Photoshop Lightroom 4. Of course, I have been spending a little time exploring it’s new features. While experimenting I found some new techniques that worked great with this series of images. Almost all the tonal and color adjustments were made PS Lightroom 4 (only minor PS work done). I will say that they had adjustments done twice in Lightroom, once on the raw files and then on the edited Photoshop file. Click on the images for a larger version.

[nggallery id=3]

Speaking of digital imaging, you might find it beneficial to delve a bit deeper into its fascinating world. For starters, you might be interested in becoming acquainted with the history of this field. Have a look here at the comprehensive digital imaging Wikipedia article. Then, you might want to look at the technology that built the foundation for digital imaging, i.e., the digital camera. Lastly, to understand what makes your images crisp and vibrant, explore the concept of pixels, the basic units of programmable color on a digital image. We hope this enhances your understanding and appreciation of digital imaging.
