Getting a Better View






Getting a Better View in the Develop Module (LR)


Lightroom’s Develop Module provides most photographers all the tools they need to enhance their photos. Paying attention to the details and subtle changes can help you create some remarkable images. To view your images in the Develop module, here a few tips to help you see your changes.

Image Zoom – just hit the Z key to zoom in on your photo. Hit the Z key again to return to full size.



Second Screen View – Have you ever wanted to be able to see your full-size image in real time as you are making changes in a view that has been zoomed. If you have a large enough monitor, try this method. Click on the little #2 button on the lower left of the Develop Module view. A second window will pop up with a full-size view of your photo. You can move and resize the second window as you see fit. Your changes will be displayed in the second window as you make local changes in the zoomed in view of the Develop Module. Just close the second window when you are done.

Before and After Views – Comparing your Develop Module changes with your original out of the camera image is a good way to see that your post processing reflects your desired intent. It’s easy to see different views that compare Before and After Views. Here are a few shortcut key strokes to try!

     \ Key – Toggles the Develop Module View to before and after

     Y Key – Displays a view of the before and after images side by side. Hit the Y key again to return to the normal view.

     Shift + Y Keys – Displays a split-screen side by side before and after view. Hit Y to return to normal view.

     Alt + Y Keys – Displays a view with before and after images top and bottom. Hit the Alt + Y Keys again to return to normal view.

Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop has similar tools and function as Lightroom. You can use many Lightroom features and tips in Camera Raw!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...
