Unfortunately, my Lightroom/Photoshop skills are very lacking. I notice the "proof" and "softproof" options in Lightroom. What the heck is that? My normal workflow is like this:
That's about all I do. I wish I had the editing skills some of you have.
So what is "proofing" used for?
- Import photos from my CF card to Lightroom.
- Find a photo I like.
- Adjust things like exposure, shadows, highlights etc.
- If I'm happy with that, and there are several photos in the same light, I create a preset so that all those photos can all have the same look.
- One at a time, I export my edited photos to photoshop where I edit out blemishes, crop and then size them and save them to a folder on my desktop.
That's about all I do. I wish I had the editing skills some of you have.
