Creating Animoto Slideshows with Lightroom

Written by Sean McCormack

Lightroom's Slideshow Module is a basic, but functional slideshow creator. In this video I show how to use the module. You'll see that it's easy to add image specific data, and create custom layouts. It's not the only option though, and so in this video I've also covered created making a slideshow in Animoto, via the Lightroom plugin. Finally I talk about creating Timelapse movies in the Slideshow Module via free templates and presets.

The Anatomy of Adobe Lightroom Previews

Written by Sean McCormack

Because Lightroom is a database, rather than a browser, photos must be ingested via the Import Dialog. Part of this process includes creating previews that allow Lightroom to display a file quickly, rather than going back to the original file every time to render it. Looking at the anatomy of the average Lightroom Catalog Folder (Catalog is the name of the Lightroom database file), We can see there are a number of files visible.

The Lightroom Catalog

Written by Sean McCormack

Lightroom centers around an image database. Way back the database files used to be called ‘Libraries’ but, as often happens with new programs, they’ve changed and are now refered to as Catalogs. While operating inside Lightroom, the catalog is essentially invisible, because it seems to be everything you’re dealing with. That’s not quite true, so let’s look at the catalog from the ouside.

Lightroom 3 Beta 2 Overview

Written by Sean McCormack

By Sean McCormack Hey folks, it seems remiss of me to be talking about a new Beta for Lightroom 3 so soon after one for the first Beta, but Adobe have surprised us with a new version to try and test, so I can hardly ignore it.

Lightroom 3 Beta

Over the last week we’ve seen the heaviest rain in a long time, so I’m practically living on the island of Galway at the moment. Anyway, who am I? Well I'm a semi pro photographer, actively seeking more work, as well as a sound engineer.
