(This is from the New Yorker hotel looking out across 8th Avenue if I recall correctly.
Photolemur 3 lightroom software#
That building on the right that is split shows how well the software pulls the details out of the shadows. (This was August of 2001 – before 9/11.) This was the view outside my room. Those leaves are soft and fuzzy, and the software makes them out to be slicker.Ī few months after this, my job sent me to New York City to lead a software launch. The green of the background flowers of this “After” shot is too artificial to me. The newel post on the left was helped immensely, but it’s easier to see the difference in the floor.īright sun again, and, being one of the first dozen or so shots I had taken, I really over-exposed that middle post. But I caught the dragonfly sitting on it, and that was my goal. I like how Photolemur brightened the wood without losing the crispness of that grain. The wood grain attracted me, as did the light. The back stairs out of the kitchen were behind a partially closed door.

But full sun with large blocks of color is pretty easy. Note the vibrancy of the grass and the better definition of the stones on the After side. The round stone barn above is from a Shaker Village in Western MA. I’ve got a few of these framed around the house, and have even sold prints of one. I choose some of my first photos to show here, since they were taken with a very old camera, by a newbie photographer, and just to revisit some nostalgia on my part. You either like the transformed photo or you don’t. There’s a button on the right lower corner that lets you export (rename, move to other drives, etc.)
Once you drag/drop or import an image, some type of software magic happens, and soon, your image shows up with a “Before/After” bar that you can drag from left to right to see all the changes that the software will do. The app itself brings up a single window with the directions: “Drop photo here or Import.” The “Import” button just pulls up a file picker dialog box. I can do it if I have a particular shot that I want to go deeper with than the simple “enhance” button on most software, but Photolemur takes this to a new level.
But the post-processing is still a maze of adjustments and exposure curves. The framing and composition of the photo still takes a good eye, or, at least, an attention to the craft.
Photolemur 3 lightroom manual#
Much of the hardware we use today automates much of that manual adjustment into a half-press on the shutter or a tap on the touch screen to activate auto-exposure and autofocus. It inspired me to walk around with a camera, and soon I was moving up to better and better hardware, learning all the little bits of info I could about lenses, fstops, aperture, depth-of-field, bokeh, filters (the glass kind, not the software kind), and photo-editing software. When my Lovely Bride and I went on one of our first real vacations sans-kids in 2001 to the Berkshires, I bought a Kodak DC3400 Zoom. Note: Photos may be tapped or clicked for a larger image.
