Oddly enough in LR3 you need to export it in the Library Module. (you'll see the export button in the lower left of your screen. Then in the dialogue box, chose JPEG and if you're going to email it, reduce it to ab out 800x800 pixels. Then you can email it from the file. In Lightroom 4 you'll be able to Email it directly from Lightroom, but not in 3.

Well, not really. Actually a diorama at the American Museum of Natural History.

On Sunday, I got some enlightening answers about L... (show quote)
Q#1 - Lightroom 3 saves the changes automatically but if you wanted to return to the original you can simply press the reset button on the right side of the screen. Alternately if you wanted to save the image as a JPEG or to a different location, go to the Library module and click on Export. This will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to chose the particulars of the export.
Q2 - Not real sure so I won't answer it.
Q3 - You can remove a photo from Lightroom without deleting it from the hard drive. Simply highlight the photo and press delete - A dialogue box will come up giving you choices as to whether you want it deleted from the hard drive or just remove it from Lightroom. If however, you delete the file from the hard drive, the thumbnail will still show in Lightroom, but if you try to open it you will get a message that the file cannot be found. Lightroom, is basically a list of instructions on how to treat the file, not the file itself.

ISO literally means International Standards Organization. It used to measure a films sensitivity to light and is now used universally in digital. Most digital cameras run from somewhere near 100 ISO and up to 3200, 6400 and in the newer top of the line DSLR's way way beyond. Intuitively, one would think that you should always shoot at a high ISO but there is a trade off that you have to consider. The higher the ISO, the more electronic noise is introduced into the image so your job as a photographer is to find the right balance between the two.

The real solution is a longer lens. When you crop you'll lose pixels and depending on how tight you crop your 16 megapixel camera could end up being a 1 megapixel image.

First, don't delete the xmp file and if you copy the photo you're going to need to take its companion xmp file with it as it's the instructions for the photo. Better yet, convert the photos to DNG files and the new file will have the image and the instructions in one file. Honestly, though, I've never seen an xmp file attached to a jpeg, they're usually attached to RAW files. Anyone else see this?

That's a really nice shot and considering the tool you were using back then, I'm truly impressed.

It's really hard to say what would be best for you. Here's my advice for what it's worth. Lightroom, CS5 and Elements 10 are all available to download free for a trial period. I'd try each one out for the time that they're free and then decide. Personally, CS5 is great but it's also expensive and truthfully, I do 90% of my processing in Lightroom.

I like A better. In B the wreath is cut in half and the door ends abruptly.

It's actually easiest to leave it on auto and that if you need to tweak it you can do it in post. The white balance needs to be set for the subject you're photographing if you going to do it manually. So if you were standing in the sun but shooting a bird in a tree you'd need to set the balance for the shade of the tree. I just leave it on auto and then correct it later, it's like a five second job in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Namwife,
Well it's still here and doing pretty well. We have an Artist district now. Still lot's of problems but we're beating them one by one.

Don't use watermarks but I do copyright photos. Since they're all copyrighted, I sit at home hoping that it will be pirated by some huge corporation that I can sue and then retire.

I would suggest that the clock starts upon arrival unless there is some other factor that makes travel an issue. I know one Photographer who takes a photo of the location immediately upon arrival to document the time he began.

I think Lightroom 3 is probably worth it just for the noise reduction that you get out of it. Remember that Lightroom 4 is already in Beta and will probably be coming out in March, which explains why everyone is putting 3 on sale.
