The Lightroom 1.1 Library Revealed
by Colleen Wheeler07/03/2007
The next stop after importing your images is the Library module, where you'll do your editing, rating, and sorting. It's also where you can add appropriate keywords and other metadata, as well as perform some basic image processing on one or multiple images at the same time.
You'll be amazed at how easy it is to select, zoom in, and examine images for sharpness and content, as well as compare images in a side-by-side view. No longer will the thought of dealing with hundreds of images seem daunting. It might even seem like an adventure!
Here's a quick tour of the key elements of the Lightroom 1.1 Library module, including an explanation of the new "catalogs" (formerly known as libraries) concept.

tone and contrast

Hi,
I am very excited and pleased with pretty much everything it offers. I shoot mainly fashion and therefore skin tone and contrast is an important factor. I find that when I import raw into lightroon, I prefer the initial preview of the image. Once Lightroom has loaded the preview, the image changes to have a tone and contrast that in my option tends to appear more "digital".The import settings are set to "none" when I import the images. I am finding myself doing a general process in lightroom and pushing my curves and adjusting my skin tone afterwards in photoshop. Am I missing something here? I would really apreciate any help in this area. Tony
