One thing I come across on my tutoring sessions is confusion over catalogs. What are they, were are my photos, do I need them, how many do I need or how should I organise my photo in them. Catalogs are fundamental to Lightroom and also the most import file related to Lightroom (photos aside), but…
If you’ve ever wanted to improve your photos or learn how to do composites, but couldn’t afford the cost of Photoshop or didn’t want to do a monthly subscription, then Affinity Photo is for you. Affinity Photo is a low cost single price photo editing software package that offers very comparable features to Photoshop and…
We all have a love hate relationship with watermarks. They are necessary to show the work is yours, or to show your website address, but they can detract to the beauty of your photo. So, you can simply add your name to the photo, use a nice font and your are done. However, you may…
My Own Scenario : New Catalogs. I started using Lightroom, many many years ago. I created my main catalog probably 9 or 10 years ago. This catalog has evolved, I’ve added Keywords to nearly all the 100,00 photos, I’ve created collections for gathering all sorts of information. Then, about 6 years ago, I started portrait…

This function allows you to create different version on your photos, but without taking up valuable disk space. The examples here are 3 images I created for an Instagram post and only physically existed when I exported them….
If a friend or partner likes photography and you are struggling with a present idea for them, why not think about a tutoring session? I offer gift vouchers for tutoring in Photography & Photo Editing using Lightroom or Photoshop. Maybe they want to organise their photos, or have Lightroom and done understand it? Or just…
Lots of people are confused by Lightroom. Some people wonder where Lightroom stores its photos. Some wonder what the catalog is about, some people don’t understand why their photos look ‘normal’ outside of Lightroom, what are the exclamation marks, and why is there no save option! One simple answer to all of these questions, is…
