Adobe
Photoshop - Color Management
An essay explaining Colour Management setup in Photoshop. It's compatible with versions
dating back to Photoshop CS2 (May 20005). Given the passage of time
you'd be forgiven for thinking that much would have changed. However,
with the exception of the application UI, Color management in Photoshop
is largely unchanged since CS2
January 2021 -
While originally written for Photoshop 19, the guidance provided in this
essay is also compatible
with Photoshop version 20 and higher.

Lightroom Classic -
Exporting Photos as New Catalog
January 2021 - In general, most Lightroom Classic users
will find that one catalog is the most efficient way of managing all of
their photos. However, there are occasions when additional catalogs
will be helpful. For example, we may wish to separate out a selection
of photos into a dedicated catalog that can be taken with you whilst
"on the road" or shared with clients.
This short tutorial demonstrates the process of exporting photos to a
new catalog.

LaserSoft Imaging
SilverFast Tutorials
"LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast" is undoubtedly
one of the best scanner software applications available. As scanner
software goes it includes more features than any single user will
likely ever need. Nevertheless, and good as they may be, these features
tend to be complex and not always well explained in the accompanying
documentation. Hopefully this series of essays/tutorials will help
users better understand the various components that make up this very
powerful program.

Lens Profiles for Lightroom and Camera Raw

recent email correspondence from readers of my Lightroom
3 Feature Review
there is a lot of interest in lens profiles. It
has also become apparent that the Lens Correction Profiles that
I had made available are a lot more popular than I expected. This
tutorial describes how you can create your own.

Digitise Your Analog Images
I'm sure that it won't have gone without notice that it's been a
few years since I published any material relating to scanning film.
Nevertheless, the absence of such material doesn't mean that I don't
scan film any longer, I do, but not in the quantities that I once
did. It's also fair to say that when I do scan it will be from film
that I shot a few years back or even longer. So why am still scanning
film? This linked essay that I wrote last year for LaserSoft
Imaging and Epson answers the question. It's a 3.4MB Adobe Acrobat
file that discusses some of the benefits of using a high-end flatbed
scanner such as the Epson Perfection V750 Photo scanner and LaserSoft
SilverFast Ai Studio and HDR Studio.
