hugh_sakols Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>Now that I have my images organized in Adobe Lightroom, I how easy it is to print and not have to go into photoshop. However, I'm still using photoshop cs3 for printing because I have a sharpening action that I use for larger prints. I'm surprised that I cannot incorporate PSD actions into Adobe Lightroom. I realize a lot of creative work has gone into lightroom, but do others wish that they could incorporate their own sharpening actions. Lightroom sharpening is great but I have no control compared to other sharpening actions. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_johnston Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>I dont see any more control in Photoshop CS than I have in LR...<br> You might find it more usable if you go back and read the help file.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acedigital Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>Have u tried linking out of Lightroom to CS3, performing your action, saving and then printing from Lightroom?<br> They are very integrated once you set this up. Good luck</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, unlike my actions from Charlie Cramer, I can't see what is being sharpened and what is not. And yes Mark when I make large prints I open PSD through lightroom.</p> </blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godfrey Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>I use Lightroom 2's embedded print output sharpening. It seems to do an excellent job. Have you tried it, compared to your sharpening action in Photoshop? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_falth Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>Keeping everything straight between photoshop and lightroom, etc, has always been a wonder and a problem for me...</p> <p>until I came to understand that lightroom is good for 'global' adjustments, whereas, photoshop is good for, or needs to be used for 'local' adjustments.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfrey Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>... Except that Lightroom 2 includes several tools for doing local, selective area adjustments. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
