Is Learning Photography Like Crossfit?
True story... last week, while in the middle of working out at my gym. This particular workout I was doing had a longer run involved in it. And sometimes, during these long runs, various things run through my head. Thoughts like "Why am I doing this?", "This is dumb",...
Are You Getting the Lightroom/Photoshop Compatibility Error?
I've been getting a TON of questions on the latest Lightroom and Photoshop updates. It seems there's a small bug where the "Compatibility" error dialog comes up if you jump from Lightroom to Photoshop. It looks something like this. The dialog usually pops up when your...
Lightroom Mobile Tip: Quickly Getting To The Camera
Here's a tip that I'm pretty sure snuck by most people in the latest iOS update for Lightroom Mobile. It's a super fast way to get to the camera. (side note: It only works with the iPhone 6S phones and later) The first question I usually get from people when I talk...

A New Lightroom CC Update is Available
Hi all. Adobe released a Lightroom update last week. I'm a little old school sometimes. I usually don't download updates for at least a few days after, which is why I didn't post about this sooner. I've been burned by Apple iOS updates on my iphone, so I'm always a...
Shooting HDR Photos With Adobe Lightroom Mobile
You probably know I've been a big fan of Lightroom mobile lately. My phone has become a major part of my photography. I'm realizing where it's place is, and that I don't always have to pull out my "big-boy" camera. But managing those photos has been a problem - and...
A Cool Trick For Photoshop’s Patch Tool
