Dave,
I attended your LA Lightroom tour (and bought the software) and I have been learning to use Lightroom ever since. I am experiencing a problem that I hope you can help me with. I recently shot a men’s fastpitch tournament and for the first time processed a large batch of pictures through Lightroom. I noticed though that some of the photographs (those basically taken in the afternoon and or in the shade) are showing up in Lightroom as if I had taken the picture with a very high ISO (I did not – I used ISO 100). However, when looked at the same picture in ACDSee the picture seems fine and there is a definite difference in the details (i.e. more). I shoot in RAW, used a D200 Nikon with a 300 mm, 2.8 lens on aperture priority. For the most part the pictures all came out good but there is a handful that is having this problem. Any suggestions?

You did a great show in LA, despite the guy who questioned why you were shooting the lovely model as a bride…I guess he did not get the workflow part of the seminar. I ordered your book at the show and should be getting it any day now.

I was hoping that you would be able to put me in touch with your photographer friend that helps you set up the live shoot when you roll into LA. I think his name is Mike. I had a couple of questions for him.

Thanks, and I can’t wait for the next NAPP seminar to come to LA (hopefully a CS3 session).

Hey Scott,

Bought your Lightroom book at PSW Boston. Loving it, and I thought I attend your class in LA as well. Worth every penny. Great job!

Many thanks for an informative seminar in LA.

What was the background equipment you used in the protrait shoots (stand and background?

Thank you.

Hello Scott:
I am one of your Denver fans waiting anxiously for you to come to Denver and do your lightroom seminar. Faculty here at the Denver University College of Eduation are working up iPod uses for teachers of Early Childhood Education so I have recommended that they read your iPod book. You should know that the Dean of our College of Education is loving your iPod book – humor is great! Right now I am engrossed in your Lightroom book and I do hope you will come to Denver soon.

Hi David:
That was very kind of you to post something here, but honestly, I’m not the least bit upset at all, as your comments about my humor are, sadly, some of the least mean spirited of all my reviews, so please—don’t give it another thought. I put a post on your blog last night about this very subject.

Besides, how could I be mad at someone who creates such beautiful photography. Please count me among your fans!

All my best,

-Scott

Hey there! I really enjoyed the seminar and got a lot out of it. The first little bit was tense with that annoying guy – but I thought you handled that masterfully. Personally I liked you going through the shoot and explaining what you were doing – maybe it wasn’t specific to Lightroom but I thought it was a good package deal – plus it was clearly spelled out in the class outline so I was expecting it.

Just as in the other class I took from you I got a lot of little things that really helped. I was kind of hoping you would go over something similar to the LAB apply image trick and I think the vibrance was pretty darn close.

I was also really glad you went over the action export thing – I hadn’t thought about that and that opens up a lot of options that I hadn’t considered. I think that is really the key for these classes – you undoubtedly learn something you don’t expect.

Scott – Somehow I just knew you were going to stumble across the one post where I diss your sense of humour. LOL. I should clarify – what I really meant was that your humour (which, by the way I find mostly right up my alley, and I spent twelve years as a professional comedian) comes off better in written form than in the glimpses I get on Photoshop TV. Video is a relentlessly bad conduit for comedy, and video without a live audience is even harder. Ok, there’s no way I’m getting out of this one…let me leave it at: you’re a very funny writer and comedy aside you remain one of my inspirations and teachers-from-afar.

Thanks so much for the kind words about my photography – more meaningful in light of the indiscreet way I voiced my opinions about your Rockin’ the Houseki gag.

Hoping I’ve covered my ass but if not please insert adequate apologies and grovelling and send me the bill.

-d.

Dear Scott:
So many thanks for the link to : a touch of Glamour. (http://www.touchofglamour.com/Photo_Retouching.htm) Really great site!!

Now I’m thinking. (I do that on occasion). Hey wouldn’t this be GREAT to have a “How they did that” in Photoshopuser mag. I personally, and I think many others would LOVE to learn how to do a great retouch job on the skin, eyelashes, eyebrows, and eyes via glamour models. Would it be possible to have these techniques included in your wonderful mag, or better yet, a DVD (so you can make some bucks for your efforts)… Hoping you think its a good idea.

PS: Reading my new copy of Adobe Lightroom book, as always your books are fantastic, fun to read, easy to follow, and great layout and a must have reference.
