Will upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 solve all of your Lightroom related problems?
If you install Windows 7 will that make Adobe Lightroom run faster, better and awesomer? The short answer is “no”. The long answer follows. If you are a Lightroom user, and if you have had problems with Lightroom, and if you have asked questions of people on the internet or in person about your Lightroom problems then you have been asked what operating system are you running.

Who Am I to Have an Opinion?
What makes me think I get to have an opinion about Lightroom? You may, or may not, at some point notice what appears to be a contradiction. Or a discrepancy. Or something that just doesn’t make sense to you. Let me explain. You may notice that I use Adobe Lightroom for my photograph cataloguing and post-processing. You may also notice that I teach people how to use Adobe Lightroom. You may have found my Adobe … Continue reading

Five Things Every Photographer Should Do
As part of my Sleazy SEO campaign I need to write more blog posts that have titles which promise numbered lists containing information which will make your life better. I came up with this one while stuffing my face at Nordy’s in downtown Fort Collins. Nordy’s is not paying me for this blatant advertising but the $10 all-you-can-stuff-in-your-face BBQ buffet is too good to turn down. I hit that now and then and and always … Continue reading

Almost as good as free sex.
I did say “almost”. I use Lightroom for my photo editing now that I’ve joined the world of digital photography. I am not a fan of Photoshop mostly because of the cost and complexity. When I need to do Photoshop like modifications to my images I use GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is open source and free. I found GIMP and started using it when I moved to Linux as my primary operating system … Continue reading
