Happy New Year! Last week I had the idea to create a series of blog posts called “The Annual Report”. I don’t have shareholders, or a board, or anything fancy like that. So in the traditional sense of the term, there’s not much to report. But I thought it’d be cool to...

Back in October I spoke at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York at the Sony Booth. Luckily, Sony records these sessions and puts them up at AlphaUniverse.com so the content can be shared after (even if you couldn’t attend). My latest class, Water is Everywhere, is now...

In the latest update of Lightroom CC, there’s a message that pops up if you try to back up your catalog. The message tells you that your catalog is over 4GB and that it’ll be zipped when backing up. The message box looks something like this. But My Catalog...

Earlier this week I found out that we lost one of our industry’s great artists – Jim DiVitale (aka. Jimmy D! – yes, you need the exclamation whenever you said it) 🙂 Jim was recognized by every aspect of the industry as one of the top photographers,...

If you have the CC version of Lightroom, Adobe snuck a new feature in there (as well as some camera and lens updates) last week. If you get the update, you’ll actually see a screen the next time you launch Lightroom that show’s you what’s new. Mostly...

Adobe just released a new version of Lightroom Mobile for the iPhone, and it’s gotten a pretty big update from an interface perspective. I wanted to do a quick write up here to let you know what’s new, but I’ve also got a free 10 lesson video course...

Well it’s that time of year again. Time to get the Lightroom Calendar Presets and Templates rolling for 2017. I’ve been posting about these every year for a while now. Years ago, Ed Weaver from RED Photographic contacted me with these really cool Lightroom...

I get asked just about every day about how I’ll be using ON1 Photo Raw when it ships in December. For me, I’ll continue to do my organizing and editing with Lightroom. Any heavy layer and selection work will move over to Photoshop. But ON1 has always been,...

A little while back B&H Photo contacted me to see if I’d be interested in doing an interview about my switch to Sony. I was a little apprehensive at first because I don’t ever want anyone to think they need to switch camera systems to get good photos....
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated.
