Tom Hogarty on Lightroom 4

 

As we announced Tom Hogarty, principal product manager for Adobe Lightroom, joins us on the podcast to tell us all about Lightroom 4. He was with us before, and after more than 3 years it was time to get back and tell us what has changed, and masterfully managing to avoid answering questions on what is coming in the future for Lightroom Smile.

We discussed what’s new, the processing magic behind LR4 – PV2012, the new GPS and book modules, Adobe Revel, synchronization of catalogues, the surprising price drop, some complaints from users, and a lot more.

It was a great conversation, and if you enjoy using Lightroom 4, or if you are thinking about trying, I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to it.

So, a big thanks to Tom for taking the time to join us and Lauren (PR from Adobe) for the help setting it up.

“4-years Photo Competition” Winners

Here are the winning entries for our 4-years Photo Competition. Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to participants and sponsors.

If you were eagerly waiting for the results of our Photo Competition, wait no more. We had 84 entries, much more than we had anticipated, which prolonged the judging process but the results are in, and the winners are just amazing images.

Each image was scored by six judges, and each judge was blinded to the scores attributed by the other five.

And you have no idea how tight the race was. In this case, one point literally made the difference…

But enough talk, and let the images have the spotlight… Congratulations to our 3 winners and a big thank you to all the participants.

 

1st Prize

Tunnel by Chris Utano

“Tunnel”

2nd Prize

3rd Prize

Honorable mentions

Although we had prizes for just three, the judging panel wants to attribute Honorable Mentions to the following images. These 3 photos had the same overall score, and were separated from the prize-winning places by just one point out of sixty. Very very close.
