Finally! A Successful CS5 Panel!

31165_Situation_L_b.png

Finally! I've ported the TLR Pro Capture Sharpening Panel to Photoshop CS5. It runs just fine under Windows. It saves and restores settings. Etc.

A big thanks to Tom Ruark at Adobe! He shared the key information I needed to save and retrieve settings with Photoshop CS5.

I have a handful of recent offers to beta test. I'll respond to them and to the other beta testers tomorrow with this latest version to try. Whule they bang at that, I'll start work on the other TLR Pro Sharpening Panels for CS5.

I want to get the panels migrated to CS5. Then work on some new panels. I'd like a handful of beta testers to work with the panels.

Autumn Leaves in New Hampshire

I will be on vacation this week. I'm leaving tomorrow for Manchester NH. Tomorrow night, I expect to be at a B&B near Conwy, NH. Three days of landscape photography along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway and around the White Mountains and Lake District of NH. Since I'll be in a country B&B, I'll leave the subnotebook computer at home. I don't even know if they have much cell phone coverage up there. I'll be back in Tallahassee late on Sat. This is my first time to go to New England to see autumn colors.

Printer Resolution Basics

Some variant of, "What's the best printer resolution," is a common question that comes to my e-mail. It's to be expected, since the TLR sharpening tools offer considerable choice when it comes to resolution.

Disclaimer: This topic might stimulate some controversy. That's OK. It's a topic that can generate some heat on photography websites. Feel free to leave your thoughts. I'm not looking to persuade everyone, and a healthy discussion will help everyone.

Can you undo the change and restore the import state to all those photos without having to visit each one individually? You bet!

Optimize Performance of Photoshop CS5, Part 2

To optimize performance in CS5, users need to carefully consider the memory and hard space requirements for Photoshop. While some choices, like the number and types of layers are rather obvious in their demands for system resources, other changes in Photoshop CS5 are more obscure.

Maze in My Mind

If your only reason to visit The Light's Right is for "strictly" photography resources, you might want to skip this. Aside from the fact that this illustration reflects how I feel sometimes, I find the technique interesting and the result downright impressive. This tutorial from Photoshop Tutorials demonstrates that Photoshop is much more than just a photo editor.

Creating a Moonlight Dreamscape

I am always favorably impressed with the video content on Mark S. Johnson's site. In Workbench 243, he demonstrates how to give photographs a dreamy, expnressionist appearance that he calls "Moonlight Dreamscape." Very nice effect!

A Bit of History

The Light's Right started as an online gallery site for the digital photography of Glenn E. Mitchell II and a place for sharing his Adobe Photoshop resources. The site has evolved into an online community with articles, blogs, forums, news, and lots of free resources for digital photographers. The new site has a broader point-of-view. It covers everything related to digital photography: cameras and other gear, photographic technique, and processing digital photos. Please feel free to bookmark this site or share it with others on your social network. We want this site to be among the most active sites for digital photography resources.

Yet Another Site?

There are lots of sites dedicated to digital photography. So why do we need another? One word: community. Most of the sites are business ventures with a commercial soul. This site is all about community and helping digital photographers get the most from their gear. It's open to new voices. People can come here and post critical comments about their experiences with photographic gear and software. There's limited advertising to help pay for the video downloads, but what keeps it going is community support. People here care passionately about digital photography and want to share with others.

Future Growth

The Light’s Right site continues to grow. Tens of thousands of visitors download content each week. Expanding the content and features to make this a community site means much more demand on the Web server in the future. The goal for the next twelve months is to be able to share three trillion bytes of information every month from a dedicated server that will allow several visitors to simultaneously stream video content over the Internet. The goal for 2010 is even more video streaming capacity, with an increase to thirty trillion bytes of information over a connection that can serve dozens of simultaneous viewers.
