So what gear can we expect from...

This is a quick workflow thing about deleting images in Lightroom (I’m covering both Classic and cloud today) that I get asked about a lot (just this week, in fact) so I thought we’d cover it here. Marking Images For Deletion One thing you can do to speed your workflow is when you see an image you know needs to be deleted (as shown here), press the letter “X” to to mark it for deletion and move on with your sorting of the image you do care about. Hitting “X” on your keyboard adds a small black “flag” icon to the thumbnail, and it dims the thumbnail as well (seen below where the thumbnail in the top left corner is grayed...

Photo By David Shield Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Black Canyon Sunset” by David Shield. Location: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado. “Even though Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a national park, it remains to this day an area that receives low visitation, especially compared to other parks,” explains Shield. “After some research, I decided that I wanted to photograph near one of the park’s overlooks called the Painted Wall. I arrived well before sunset so I’d have time to explore the area and find an even lesser photographed composition. I found this spot where I used an area of rocks as a foreground for my sunset shot, about a half-mile from the main overlook viewpoint.” Want...
