The February update slipped in support for the Large Document Format (PSB) in Lightroom Classic. This has been on the request list for a long time, and with increasing sensor sizes and the ability to easily stitch multiple frames into very large panoramas, it is a very welcome addition. I wanted to give it a test drive, and share the steps you might encounter when you create an image that exceeds the file size for PSD or TIF. The first consideration is what you have set on the External Editing tab of the Preferences. By default it is set to 16 Bit ProPhoto RGB TIF, but it is possible to change that to PSD as well, as I have done. Both...

It’s kind of weird, with everything going on here and in the world with this virus, to be sharing Lightroom tips, but I guess it’s better than focusing on all the bad news out there, so…I guess here we are.

The post Mastering Aspect Ratios in Photography appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Tim Gilbreath. Aspect ratio is a phrase that you’d normally expect to hear when discussing movies or televisions, but as it is a measurement of image proportions, it’s also important in photography. It is also one of those things that is always there, even if you don’t think about it. Aspect ratio in photography is a description of an image’s vertical and horizontal proportions expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, and composed of similar units of measurement, whether it be inches, centimeters, or feet. You’ve seen these numbers before, such as 16:9, which is commonly known as widescreen format, and used to...

Yup, it’s that White Balance pop-up grid that follows around your White Balance tool like it’s a lost puppy (but without the cuteness). It’s just about useless (no need to post a comment talking about the rare cases where it is useful, and how you can’t do your photography work without it, etc, and so on. If that’s the case for you, just skip this tip). Anyway, here ya go: And yes, that is “Handsome Dave” Williams, British love machine, and author of the “Travel Tuesdays with Dave” column on my daily blog. Stop snickering — I know nobody’s traveling now, but don’t tell Dave. OK, gotta run — check back tomorrow for Rockin’ Rob Sylvan’s column (always excellent). Catch ya then. Stay...
