I love the Lightroom Classic with Lightroom Cloud workflow, and a key component of this workflow is having the same Develop presets available across all Lightroom applications. While Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw share the same location for presets locally those same presets are not shared automatically with the Lightroom cloud. At the same time, any preset created or imported into a Lightroom cloud app is automatically kept in sync across all Lightroom cloud apps. Let’s look at how to bridge that gap. Starting in Lightroom Classic I’ll assume that most of you, like me, have all (or most) of your editing presets in Lightroom Classic, and it is those that you want to bring into the cloud. For example,...

Making a still image come to life can be a difficult task, especially if you don’t know the full functionality of your camera.

“While hiking with family near Logan Pass at Glacier National Park, we were entertained by the Columbian ground squirrels chirping at us and scurrying around the wildflowers like they were late for work,” says photographer Jerry Jackson. “These high-altitude squirrels hibernate up to eight months of the year, which may explain their hurried behavior as they gather food. This particular squirrel, however, seemed to be in no rush at all. It would meticulously smell each flower head before deciding whether or not it was worthy of being eaten. It was a good reminder for us to take time to enjoy the vacation while it lasted.” Nikon D500, AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR. Exposure: 1/1000 sec., ƒ/5.6, ISO 400. See...
