First play with Lightroom 2.8

[TheNissanMan]

Well, first impressions are it's an ace piece of s/w, extremely easy to use once you get the hang of it, my only concern is whether I'll end up over correcting photo's lol...

First play and it was a quick play as it might just have been to good of a night last night lol...

It is a great piece of software

You should have a play with the chromatic abberation correction though!

LOL ta, don't you need to go see a doctor to play with that...

Runs off to google chromatic abberation.

I think you may have over corrected that one... and yes, a lot of CA visible, but drop the saturation and contrast to 'normal' levels and it may not be quite so visible.

And of course meant Lightroom 2.6 lol

Lightrooms CA controls aren't always efective against Purple Fringing (neither is PTLens) I have 2 lenses that are horrendous for this in very high contrast scenarios when wide open, so have learned the hard way

Sometimes you get better results in the HSL module, and pulling the Blue Saturation slider down to somewhere between -60 to -80.
