Web gallery templates
are listed by name and
when you point to one a
preview is displayed in
the Preview panel.
- Contrast adjusts the white and black points simultaneously to increase
contrast in the image. - Vibrance adjusts the saturation of primary colors while leaving skin tones
and other secondary shades unaffected. This allows you to boost saturation
without unrealistic hue shifts. - Saturation adjusts the saturation of all colors in the image.
other moduleS
In addition to the Library and Develop modules discussed above, Lightroom
also has modules devoted to outputting your images in various formats.- Slideshow lets you create slideshows to display on the screen, or export as
PDFs. - Print lets you layout and print selected images.
- Web lets you create HTML or Flash galleries using templates supplied with
Lightroom.
exPorting
When working on images in Lightroom, your changes do not permanently
affect the image. However, the changes are made permanent on versions of
the image that you export. At the time you export images, here are just some
of the choices you can specify:- Color Space attaches an sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB color space
to the image. (Color spaces are discussed later in this chapter in the section
on color management.) - Constrain Maximum Size lets you resize and image by specifying that
the width or height is not to exceed a specified number of pixels. - Format lets you specify what format the image is saved in—JPEG, PSD,
TIFF or DNG. - Post Processing lets you see an exported image in Explorer or Finder,
burn selected images to a CD/DVD, or go to an export action folder.
AutomAtion
When it comes to efficiency there is nothing like automation to save you time.
Lightroom lets you select a group of images and add keywords and perform
other tasks. You can also make edits to one image and apply the same chang-
es to other images in two ways.- Sync lets you select an image you have edited, then select others. When you
then click the Sync Settings or Sync Metadata button the edits or metadata
in the first image are copied to the others. - Presets are stored settings that are added to a Presets menu. You can select
other images and click the preset on the menu and the stored settings are
applied.
Sync buttons lets you
copy edits or metadata
from one image to
many images.
