Texas Capitol From SoCo #2
Lightroom 4 Quirks
I got Lightroom for Christmas! Woohoo! It looks like a pretty powerful tool to say the least! Luckily, I also got Scott Kelby’s Lightroom 4 book to help figure this behemoth out! So far so good! However, there’s one thing in his book that he does not really address and that’s TIFF + JPGs. You see, when I edit a photo, I like to save it as a TIFF, then watermark it and save it again as a JPG to put out on the web. I keep the same file-name, but a new file gets created with the .jpg extension. However, Lightroom wants to organize it so both the TIFF and JPG files are just one, meaning the JPG is a “sidecar” file or a TIFF + JPG. I don’t like this at all and I can’t seem to find a way to turn this off, unless you do this during your import settings. So, what I had to do was create a whole new folder just for jpgs and move the file in there with Windows Explorer and then import that. There’s got to be a better way than this? Anyone out there have any ideas?
Texas Capitol From SoCo #2
Here’s a picture I took back in April of last year.. It’s a shot of the Texas Capitol from the hill up on South Congress Ave. I took it early in the morning so there wouldn’t be much traffic, especially since I decided to take this in the middle of the road! This is a companion to another shot I took where I had zoomed out a bit further…
Texas Capitol From SoCo
Ahh, the things I do for getting a nice shot… Well, I guess “nice” is relative, but I digress.. This shot was taken from South Congress Ave looking north through downtown Austin to the Capitol Building. As you can see I stood in the middle of the road to get the shot. “What a death-defying feat of uncommon bravery,” you must be thinking to yourself.. Well, stupid maybe, but not that brave. Really there wasn’t a lot of traffic on this morning so it was pretty easy and non-eventful to get this shot. Here it is..
Also, South Congress Ave or SoCo as it’s known in these parts has some eclectic (aka weird) shops and boutiques that the trendy patronize. It’s an interesting area. Click here to see some examples to which I refer…
Enjoy the shot and thanks for dropping by!
