Now haveing gone digital I had 2 bodies the D300 with the 18 to 200 VR2 and a D7000 with the 12 to 24 mm nikon lens The D7000 with the 12 to...

Yes you use the ajustment brush for prehaps lightning a area of the image, the develope presets effect all the image normally. I have been working with LR for quite a while now and love it, I suggest you get The Silver Efex Pro2 plug in for your mono images. If I can be of any help please...

I have the 18 to 200 VR2 useing it with a D300 at the moment, the VR2 is a upgrade on the VR1. I have no probs with lens and have taken some great images. I know people who use the D7000 with this lens and they have no probs. I also have a D7000 with the 12 to 24 lens, it's a cracking lens, I...

Just read your last post you said click the brush Icon? Do you mean the Adjustment Brush in the Develope Module? If the presets are in the preset section you just click on the required preset and it will apply that preset to your image, to undo the preset go to Edit click on it and a box will...

I have a Bronica SQA, 50mm, 80mm 150mm lens, 2 x 120 backs, used to shoot B&W useing Ilford Delta 100. Its a great bit of kit but have moved to LF. Bought a Sinar F1 with a 150mm Nikon lens. So the Bronica is not getting the use it deserves. Needs a new home. Cliff

Hi Try the Adobe tutorials for LR. they are very good and may be of a help. Cliff

I have the Nik package and mostly use Silver Efex Pro2 but as above all the other plugins are useful, watch their tutorials they are very good.

Have Nik Siver Efex Pro 2 and Nik HDR Efex, mostly use the Silver Efex Pro 2, very rarely use HDR, but found it very good.

Some of the Topaze plug in look good though.

Much the same as Adam only I carry out the following procedure first - after my images are imported into LR I select the first image select the develope mode, scroll down to the lens correction panel, enable the profile and colour modes. next go to the edit menu(top left of the screen) down to...

LR4 with Elements 12, want to upgrde to LR5 soon, use Silver Efex Pro2 for my mono work. Cliff

Have Elements 11 but upgraded to 12, I think that it was worth upgradeing. Cliff

Have you tried the Adobe tutorials, Julieanne Kost is the one that I found to be very good. Cliff

Don't forget the monitor, just bought a HP Pavilion 23 x i, £140 from PC W orld/ Currys, on EPZ they show a zone bar, can see all the zones clearly. I think for the money it's a great buy. I use LR4 it fits a treat no scolling of the image when processing. Hope this helps

Just read the posts and just a suggestion that I saw on a tutorial about LE. If you have different lenses with different filter sizes buy the largest filter and the step down rings, ie I have a 77mm lens and 72mm, bought the 77mm filter and a step down ring which cost a few pounds.
