Hi Jack,

I've had a go replicating the Photoshop settings you mentioned on this photo, using Canon's DPP software (as I don't have anything else at this stage) but didn't get to use the unsharp mask. What do you think ?

I like the Skywst F-50 shot, obviously from the new viewing area.

Did anyone have a suggestion as to the best way to calibrate your monitor before adjusting photos ? Cheers.

Thanks for replying Ian, sorry for my late reply

Sure is from the new viewing area

I think your photo is looking good, I can't really point out any obvious flaws.
However maybe just fine tune that shadows and highlights section just a tad more.
From what I could see on my iPad the sharpness is looking pretty decent anyway, without it.

I have actually never calabiratted my screen, so I wouldn't know. Try searching on the a.net forums, they sure know their stuff

Cheers Jack.

It really is a great product especially for large batches of photos which are similar in nature (I.e a day at the airport) because of the settings you can preset and apply to the whole batch. I would still recommend editing in Photoshop when you have only a few good photos to edit as I believe it is still better for getting down to the nitty gritty of photo editing but for large batches (I.e airshows etc.) I would highly recommend lightroom.

Please excuse my ignorance/stupidity, but in Lightroom, how can you apply presets i.e. say I wanted to increase the brightness by 5% on each photo in the set?

Hi Robbie, I know this link relates to LR3, but settings and menus are the same for LR4 (if that is what you are using)..

First couple of tips should answer your question.
