How to Rename Images and Create Filename Presets in Lightroom 4 – From the Workflow System Workshop on DVD
In this step-by-step tutorial, we will show you how to rename images and how to create a filename preset in Lightroom 4. We recommend that you rename the images you want to export so that you do not have to rename them during the export process. The images we want to export and deliver will also be renamed differently than the images that we will not deliver from our catalog. In this tutorial, we will go over the specific naming system that we use at Lin & Jirsa Photography. This naming system tells us important information about our images, such as the type of photography and the location of the shoot.

Understanding Each Section in the HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom 4 – From the Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD
In this video from our Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD, we will discuss the HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom 4 in complete detail. The HSL/Color/B&W Panel is unique from all of the other panels in Lightroom 4 because there are 3 sections within this panel that you can work in to adjust your images. In the HSL section, you can adjust the Hues, Saturation and Luminance of the image, hence the name HSL. The HSL section is almost identical to the Color section of the panel except the Color section displays a different layout than the HSL section. Lastly, the B&W section in the HSL/Color/B&W Panel stands for “black and white,” where you can adjust the luminance of the colors in black and white. In this article, we will discuss how to make adjustments in each of these sections as well as explain how these adjustments affect your images overall.

Creating a Standard Black and White Preset to Create a “Vivid Landscape” Look in Lightroom 4 – From the Workflow System Workshop on DVD
In previous tutorials, we created a Standard Color Preset and a Standard Black and White Preset in Lightroom 4 to create a “soft portrait” look for our portrait images. We also created a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for our landscape images. Now, we are going to create a “Vivid Landscape” Standard Black and White Preset. We will be basing our Standard Black and White Preset off of the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Color Preset, so it is a good idea to refer to that tutorial before going on to this tutorial. In this tutorial, we will also go over how to update your preset with current settings.
Creating a Standard Color Preset to Create a “Vivid Landscape” Look in Lightroom 4 – From the Workflow System Workshop on DVD
In previous tutorials, we went over how to set up a Standard Color Preset and a Standard Black and White Preset to create a “soft portrait” look for our portrait images. Now, we are going to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for our landscape images. Landscape images include typical landscape shots that do not have any people in it. They also include a type of portrait called “environmental portrait.” An Environmental Portrait is a portrait that incorporates a lot of landscape into the shot, but there are still people in the image. Environmental Portraits are processed more as a landscape image rather than a portrait image because the “vivid landscape” look will give our landscape images an additional high contrast and poppy look that brings out a lot of detail. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for landscape images and we will also discuss when to include the exposure setting into presets.
Using the Adjustment Tools in Lightroom 4 as Views in the Develop Module – From the Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD
In this video from our Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD, we will go over a quick tip that can help us get to the Develop Module by using the Adjustment Tools in Lightroom 4. In a previous tutorial, we discussed how to get to the different View Modes in the Library Module by using keyboard shortcuts. For example, we would hit “G” for Grid View Mode, “E” for Loupe View Mode, “C” for Compare View Mode and “N” for Survey View Mode. Regardless of whatever Module you were in, you could switch back to the Library Module whenever you hit any of those Library View Mode shortcuts. In addition, these shortcuts would take you to the View Mode that you selected. Likewise, we can also switch to the Develop Module by using the Adjustment Tools shortcuts. In this article, we will go over the different shortcuts you can use to switch over to the Develop Module.
