Hi

Is there a way in LR to find images based on the 'Star Rating'

I looked at the Find panel and the only thing i saw was capture by date and

search by text

Thanks

Hi

I have some questions regarding Lightroom.

1. In the Web module when publishing the pictures on web do i select pictures

where my RAW's are stored ( does LR automatically convert RAW -> JPEG while

uploading?) or do i select the pictures which i have converted to JPEG's?

2.Is it possible to upload additional pictures in LR in an exsisting web

gallery?

Thanks for all your help

Hi

I have started using Lightroom and love it.

I have a small question though the answer to which i can't figure out (must be

very simple)

In the left hand side of 'Library' module there is a folder View and in that i

can only see few folders which i have added.How do i see the list of all the

folders that i have added?

For eg.I have added almost 30 folders...but i can only see about 6 or 8 maybe.

How do i go about selecting a previously added folder?

Thanks

Hi All

What is the best way to make the background black in flower photographs.

I am using a magic wand tool to select and making the fill color to

black...but it is taking alot of effort and it is time consuming.

Is there a easy and better method to do it?

Thanks

In Grand Marias..Artists point is good..sunsets are great.

I have 20D and 17-40mm L and 70-200mm L and 50mm lens with me.

Anthing else i need to carry?

Hi all

I have got some additional plugins for photoshop that i want to use.

By reading i figured that all my additional plugins should go in the plugins

folder in photoshop.

Now under my "Plugins" folder i have subfolders like "Filter".... etc..etc.

So where exactly should my plugins go?

Ang whenever i try to add a plugin in the folder and start photoshop it gives

me an error saying

"MSVCRT.DLL was not found and the app won't start"

When i remove the plugin everything is back to normal again

TIA

Hi all

i have been photographying for abt 2 yrs now and still learning.

I know i enjoy shooting pictures.... (nature,landscapes ).

Can you take a look at my pictures and tell me

"Do i have it in me?"

www.manishraichur.com

All my friends praise my pictures alot,but i don't take their compliments

seriously.I have even joined my local photo club where we have monthly salons

to critic pictures,but i have found out that they give good ratings to even

mediocre pictures .. ( for eg,they even praise snapshots ).

Most of them don't know the difference between TV and AV on their dials.

so please take a look at my site and help me decide.

Thanks

Manish

The subject is very sharp,but the background gives the effect of motion.

If i use slow shutter speed won't the subject also be blurred?

I have heard of 'panning' ,but i don't think it is being used here

Hi all

What is the technique used to take this kind of picture?

Thanks

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

I really appreciate it.I am going to take your advice and start writing descriptions of the pictures.

Thanks again

manish

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.

As for the site being slow,it loads up very quickly for me.Don't know what would be causing it?

Alexa.

Thanks for your advice.I know the fonts are different on the images,but i don't know how to make them the same size and same font.

For eg. The word 'NATURE' is papyrus font with 14 pt.Now if i try to make the word 'PLACES the same it looks totally different.What am i doing wrong?

Hi all

I have built my first website and wanted to know about your impressions and

suggestions.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

I wanted to know what is the difference between Hue and Saturation?

I am working on some of my recently visited Zion pictures.

I wanted to bring out the redness in the canyons and the rocks.In Adobe Camera

Raw,i saw a tab called "Calibrate" whch had "Red Hue" and "Red Saturation".

Am i going in the right direction by playing with these 2 sliders?

Thanks

Thanks to all of you guys,my zion trip was great and it was a amazing

experience.

And ZION had SNOW :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been to Banff 2 yrs back during fall and it was amazing.

I don't know much abt the winter conditions there,but it should be a wonderful experience

All of Banff is beautiful,Every spot is worth photographying.

My best sunset picture was at Mt Vermillon ( i hope i spelled it right ).Other than that Lake Moraine,Lake Peyto are all beautiful.

Lake Louise is more touristy,but i guess since you are going in winter it will be practically empty.

enjoy your vacation.

Thanks to all the advice to my previous thread,i have decided to spend 2 days

in Zion.

Since i have never been there before, can you guys tell me the "spots" not to

be missed to photograph and what time of the day is recommended.

Thanks

Manish

I am planning a 4 day trip to LV in the last week of december.

Both Zion and Death valley are abt 150 miles form LV and i am planning to

spend 2 days in one of them.

Which one of the 2 do you guys recommend taking into account the weather,photo

ops. ( I wish i had time to visit both )

i maninly shoot nature and landscape.

Thanks

manish

Thanks a lot for all your help guys.

Ok.. from reading everything i am leaning towards

spending only 1 1/2 days in LV and other 2 days in either Zion or Death Valley.

So which one do you suggest?

Thanks
