100 Things I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving https://lightroomkillertips.com/100-things-im-thankful-for-this-thanksgiving/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/100-things-im-thankful-for-this-thanksgiving/#comments Thu, 23 Nov 2023 08:16:00 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=17626 Today, in the US, is Thanksgiving Day, a day where we take the day off from work, surround ourselves with friends and family, eat ridiculous amounts of food, and watch football non-stop, only stopping long enough for another slice of pie. It’s just about a perfect day. I know what a blessed and charmed life I’ve led – I’m so aware of it and genuinely thankful for it every day. I’m also thankful I have this blog to put my feelings down on paper (well, in words, anyway), and today, I’m grateful I get to share 100 things I’m thankful for with you. I’m thankful…. 2. for the new Mastering feature in Logic Pro X (thank you, Apple!) 3. I found something that goes great with the yellow-capped EZ Cheese (the new Ritz Toasted Pita Oven-baked Crackers). A match made in heaven. 4. that we put up our Christmas tree a little too early (it’s already been up for a few days), and that we keep it up longer than we probably should. 5. for SNL re-runs (especially the ones we can stream from the night before on Sunday). 6. my wife’s amazing new “Lasagna Bowl” recipe, which is just insane! Top 5 dish! 7. that my son or daughter-in-law will just pop over at any given time for a visit. It makes my day. 🙂 8. for recliner chairs (what my son calls “a pappy chair,” and yes, he has one, too)! 9. that Terry White is a dear friend. He is one of the greatest people I’ve ever known. 10. for Black Friday sales on plug-ins for my music studio. I wait all year for these deals. 11. we got to take a family vacation this summer with the whole family. It was just a blast! 12. for my wife’s warm smile and that I get to see it so often. 13. that Apple finally switched to USB-C ports on their phones (even though I still have a 14). 14. for the new Sola Keto Certified bagels. Way better than their old ones, and super low carb, for days that are not Thanksgiving. 15. for Ted Lasso. The whole series. Just wonderful. 16. for Rick Sammon. The whole guy. Just wonderful. 17. the non-stops laughs we have when we have a family dinner around the table (and how much my wife loves having us all together. If any of us accidentally eats a vegetable, it’s her best day ever!). 18. anytime we go to the movies. Even if the movie isn’t that great, I still love the whole experience. 19. for really good air conditioning. It what makes living in Florida work. 20. Taylor Swift. I saw her concert movie with my daughter-in-law (who is a total Swiftie), and I left being a Swiftie, too. She is pretty incredible. 21. that we always watch, “Love Actually” and “The Holiday” every year during the holidays. They always put me in the Christmas spirit (despite the many times I have tears in my eyes). 22. for the times I get Vondel instead of Ashika Island when I’m playing Warzone Resurgence maps at night with the guys. 23. they opened a Mandola’s Italian Kitchen not far from our house. Their chicken Piccata sautéed in a lemon butter white wine sauce is Bella Bella! 24. for all the times Dobson assists me on a photo shoot in the studio or on location. 25. for when my sweet wifey and I just chill on the couch and watch Big Bang Theory, Raymond, and her favorite, “Naked and Afraid.” 26. for Pine River Spicy Beer Cheese spread (you can get it at Amazon). Awwww, yeah! 27. for Rod Temperton, and all the awesome funk and dance songs he wrote during his lifetime (everything from Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Rock with you, and Off The Wall [among others], to Groove Line, Boogie Nights, Always & Forever, Gimme the Night [George Benson], Baby Come To Me, and so many more. The guy was a legend! 28. for stand up comic Nate Burgatze (and the fact that my wife got us tickets to see him live). 29. that my wife keeps her Christmas Classic Spotify playlist running all day. Our house is filled with awesome Christmas music. 30. Baker Mayfield is doing a better job than all the NFL pundits claimed he would. The Bucs aren’t tearing it up, but we’re doing better than anyone expected (in a pretty bad conference), and Mayfield has earned a lot of respect from his teammates and fans. #GoBucs! 31. For grammerly. Seriously. It’s a lifesaver. 32. for our awesome dogs: Maki, Nami, and Maggie the WonderDog. 33. that my photo rig is as lightweight and easy to use as it’s ever been. It just makes everything so much easier. I mostly use one lens (my beloved Canon RF 24-240mm), which is small, light, and awesome. 34. for Brad Moore, and all the years he’s run the guest blog post feature on my scottkelby.com blog. He’s done an amazing job with it, and I’m so thankful for all his efforts. Nobody could have done it like he did. 35. that first cup in the morning (and I’m particularly thankful for CoffeeMate. I couldn’t drink coffee without it). 36. Our local Vet, Dr. Farid Saleh at Ehrlich Animal Hospital. He is just fantastic (and our doggos love him). It’s great having a vet you have such faith and confidence in. 37. For Saturday college football. I look forward to it all week. 38.

Today, in the US, is Thanksgiving Day, a day where we take the day off from work, surround ourselves with friends and family, eat ridiculous amounts of food, and watch football non-stop, only stopping long enough for another slice of pie. It’s just about a perfect day.

I know what a blessed and charmed life I’ve led – I’m so aware of it and genuinely thankful for it every day. I’m also thankful I have this blog to put my feelings down on paper (well, in words, anyway), and today, I’m grateful I get to share 100 things I’m thankful for with you.

I’m thankful….

  1. That Alabama is still in the hunt for the College Football Playoffs (#RollTide!)

2. for the new Mastering feature in Logic Pro X (thank you, Apple!)

3. I found something that goes great with the yellow-capped EZ Cheese (the new Ritz Toasted Pita Oven-baked Crackers). A match made in heaven.

37. For Saturday college football. I look forward to it all week.

38. For my Apple Watch and all the times it reminds me to do stuff that I would normally forget.

39. This year, I celebrated 34 years of marriage to my wonderful, sweet, awesome wife.

40. That the dating show “Love in the Wild” was way, way better than we thought it would be. Way better.

41. For Larry Becker, and all the low-carb goodies he always turns me on to. He’s always got “the goods.”

42. For all the days and nights when I hear my daughter’s car pull in the driveway, so I know she’s home safely.

43. for all the folks who share such nice comments and just “howdy’s” on my social media accounts. It means more than you know.

44. for all the cool Generative Fill stuff Adobe added to Photoshop. It has blown my mind (and saved a bunch of images that needed saving).

45. people are pretty kind when they point out my typos here on the blog or on my social media posts.

46. beautiful days sitting on the porch, in a rocking chair with my wifey, while the doggos run around the yard playing.

47. for all the wonderful places and get to do travel workshops and all the great people I get to hang out with during the workshops. I’ve made some great friends from them that have really enriched my life.

48. I get to play music every day. It lifts my spirits every time.

49. that I still get to write books, and I’m extra thankful for Ted and Scott at Rocky Nook (who publish most of my books). They are top men. Top men!

50. at how great I feel when good things happen to the people around me.

51. that an Einstein Bagel shop is opening right near our house. I love their hot dogs wrapped in a bagel. Super yummy!

52. to all my mentors whose wisdom and whip-cracked have helped me immeasurably in my life.

53. my days start with a big hug from the love of my life.

54. For online guitar teachers like Carl Brown, Tim Pierce (my hero), JustinGuitar, Eric Blackmon, Rick Beato, The “Shut up and play” guy, Steve Stine, and John MacLennan, among others. I’ve learned so many songs, and techniques, from them.

55. For a mom and dad who always made sure I knew I was loved. We’ve passed that on to our own kids and it’s one of the best gifts you can give.

56. For Dave Gales, the man who bought me my first Bible (I still have it after all these years, ragged and pretty torn up at this point, though I read the YouVersion digital version now, which is great).

57. To all our service members who sacrifice so much to keep us safe, and for their family members who sacrifice so much as well.

58. That my doggos can communicate with me very clearly (though what they generally communicate is that they want me to give them a frozen broccoli treat).

59. For Rob Foldy, and the way he pops into my text messages when I least except it.

60. For the time I went to lunch with my son to Waffle House, loved it, and lived to tell about it. Please don’t tell my wife.

61. that I have a way to tell the people I care about how much I care.

62. that I get to work with Christina Sauer and her awesome video team (including Eric, Juan, Ron, and Jason). It’s a blessing to get to work with them week in, week out. They are the best!

63. I love my weekly dinners with my crazy daughter. We laugh from the minute we walk out the door until we get back home. It’s just so much fun (she has an incredible sense of humor).

64. I love that writing these takes no time at all. I could do this all day.

65. My Fantasy Football team, which is not managed at the level it should be, is still one of the top two teams (it doesn’t hurt to have Mahomes).

66. That Delta Airlines rolled back their nearly unattainable requirements for getting Frequent Flyer status. It’s a lot harder than it used to be (a lot), but at least it’s not crazy. They rolled it back to “just kind of crazy.”

67. for Village Inn Pies, on a day like this. French Silk. Just sayin’.

68. for my wonderful daughter-in-law and how she truly is an important part of our family. I love it when she comes into the house and says, “Hello family!” It always warms my heart.

69. I love it that it’s going to be a little chilly today. It doesn’t happen often, and rarely on Thanksgiving, but it’s happening today.

70. For my buddy Paul. He’s just fun. Slightly crazy, yet fun.

71. For Instacart. We generally still go to Publix and pick up our groceries (they bring them out to your car, which is great), but it makes grocery shopping so much easier.

72. For every time I get a hug from one of the kids. Every single time.

73. for the fact that we have a day like today where we reflect on all our blessings. A grateful heart is a happy one.

74. For the fact that we live so close to Walt Disney World, and our kids love it as much as we do (or vice versa).

75. Maxx Hammond , our non-legally adopted son and that he spends the holidays with us every year. He’s my son’s best friend, my Warzone team partner, and one heck of a great kid. He’s “one of us.”

76. that the Bucs are playing the Colts this week, and might have a chance to win. It’s just a chance, but it could happen.

77. The new Frasier show. It’s better than you’d think (though the first episode is pretty lame – it gets way better). Has the same feel as the old show – I just which a few other folks from the original were there. One or two would have put it over the top.

78. For the times my sister-in-law Heidi comes and stays with us for a week or so. She’s a lot of fun, with a great sense of humor, and we love having her here.

79. for the Publix TV spot where the daughter calls her mom on FaceTime for help with a recipe she’s clearly made many, many times (and they reveal the written recipe at the end), so she really just want to spend some time with her mom under the guise of needing her help. I cry every time I see it. Dang it.

80. that my wife usually tells me what she wants for Christmas, which makes my life so much easier. I sweat getting her something special each year because she deserves the world!

81. that I get to work with so many cool people, like my dear friend Erik Kuna, who is awesome on so many levels I can’t even tell you.

82. For all the little things.

83. For the trips I get to take with my big brother Jeffrey each year. We have so much fun, so many laughs, and such a great time from start to finish.

84. For my Epiphone ES-339 red sunburst guitar. When it’s a funk song, that’s the one I reach for.

85. That I get to do workshops with Mimo Meidany. He is an absolute gem. Gem!

86. for all the family traditions that my wife fosters and we all love

87. For Joey’s pizza. Mmmmmm. Pizza.

88. For Kim, Jess, and my awesome book team. I’m so lucky to get to work with them.

89. For the smell of my wife’s incredible Chicken & Yellow Rice. You can smell it all around the house, and it is heavenly.

90. For all the folks who joined KelbyOne this year. I’m so grateful to have people put their trust in us.

91. For Victoria, and for what a great friend she is. She means a lot to us.

92. To Serge Ramelli, who is a truly great guy, great friend, and one of the most helpful people anywhere. I owe him a lot.

93. For Kizik shoes. Game-changing comfort. I wear them every day (unless I’m hiking, and you can imagine how frequent this is).

94. that my daughter still cares that I bake my special “Christmas Cookies” each year when we put up the tree (and I’m grateful she thinks Pillsbury means ‘special’).

95. For all the companies that sponsor or support the Grid. I couldn’t do it without you.

96. that I have friends like Chicky Nando. What a great friend!

97. For the sound of my wife’s voice

98. For how excited my daughter gets about the stuff she’s into, and the friends she has. She is truly enjoying life (and she would be the first to tell you so).

99. For every time I get to eat at Carmine’s on W. 44th Street in NYC. Their Chicken Scalopinni with lemon butter sauce over angel hair pasta is just insane. It’s probably stunted my growth, but that’s something I’ll willing to do.

100. for God and His Son Jesus Christ, for leading me to the woman of my dreams, for blessing us with such amazing children, for allowing me to make a living doing something I truly love, for always being there when I need Him, for blessing me with a wonderful, fulfilling, and happy life, and such a warm, loving family to share it with.

Here’s wishing you and your family a blessed, grateful Thanksgiving surrounded by the people you love (or at the very least, a highly motivated Doordash driver). 😉

Sending lots of love. 🙂

-Scott

Lightroom Mobile Auto Add Heads Up https://lightroomkillertips.com/lightroom-mobile-auto-add-heads-up/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/lightroom-mobile-auto-add-heads-up/#respond Wed, 07 Jun 2023 13:28:14 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=17269 I had to reinstall the Lightroom app on my iPhone recently and noticed a new screen after I logged in, and I wanted to give anyone subscribed to the Photography Plan a heads up. The screen in question is below. The first option is where you choose if you want to be able to sync over Wi-Fi or your mobile data plan, or if you want to limit it to Wi-Fi only. This is important if you have limited data, and in which case I urge you to choose Wi-Fi only. If you are using Lr to import photos from your device as a way to transfer them to Lightroom Classic (LrC) as I do, then you can end up using a lot of data. If you have unlimited data (or just a lot) and you don’t mind letting Lr use it, then go ahead and choose the first option. Beware Auto Add It is the second option that I wanted you all to pay closer attention to though. You see, as a Photography Plan subscriber you only have 20GB of Adobe cloud storage. If you leave that option checked, then Lr will start automatically importing all of the photos on your device’s camera roll, which will then start uploading to the cloud until you run out of storage. I’ve seen this happen to a lot of people when they first try using Lr on their mobile devices. It is a real pain to undo, so best to avoid it. Undo Auto Add If you clicked on Continue without reading what was checked, and you want to disable Auto Add go into the App Settings (tap the three-dot menu), then tap Import to access all the Import settings. Tap the toggles under Auto Add from Camera Roll to disable that function. While you are there, enable Add Copyright and enter your name in the field. You may also want to consider setting a custom Raw Default.

A Perfect Last-Minute Gift Idea (and Five Lightroom Courses You Can Watch This Week) https://lightroomkillertips.com/perfect-last-minute-gift-idea-and-five-lightroom-courses-you-can-watch-this-week/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/perfect-last-minute-gift-idea-and-five-lightroom-courses-you-can-watch-this-week/#respond Mon, 19 Dec 2022 08:16:00 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=16879 Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, everybody! I know some folks (like me) are scrambling to get a last-minute Holiday gift or two. If the photographer on your Holiday gift list is a Lightroom user, I hope you might consider giving them a One-Year KelbyOne Pro Membership (you’re giving them the gift of education) because have a ton of Lightroom training they would love. Check out this video from me about KelbyOne and you’ll see why this would makes a perfect gift for photographers, Photoshop, and Lightroom users. It’s just a few minutes, but you’ll learn so much about being a member, and what makes us stand out from the rest. Give a quick look. They’ll have access to more than 900 full-length classes; they get a subscription to Photoshop User magazine and access to an incredible worldwide community of photographers helping each other grow and improve.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, everybody! I know some folks (like me) are scrambling to get a last-minute Holiday gift or two. If the photographer on your Holiday gift list is a Lightroom user, I hope you might consider giving them a One-Year KelbyOne Pro Membership (you’re giving them the gift of education) because have a ton of Lightroom training they would love.

Check out this video from me about KelbyOne and you’ll see why this would makes a perfect gift for photographers, Photoshop, and Lightroom users. It’s just a few minutes, but you’ll learn so much about being a member, and what makes us stand out from the rest. Give a quick look.

They’ll have access to more than 900 full-length classes; they get a subscription to Photoshop User magazine and access to an incredible worldwide community of photographers helping each other grow and improve. It’s accelerated learning, and they’ll have full access to everything. They will love you (and so will I). You can get them a monthly membership for $19.99/Month or a full-year annual membership for $199. Here is the Link (yes, it makes a great gift, but ya know, you can also buy it for yourself). 🙂

I know a lot of you have this week off for the Holidays, and you want to do some Lightroom learnin’. Here are five of my favorite Lightroom courses that I think you’ll really get a lot out of:

The Top 20 Lightroom Classic Questions Answered

These are the questions I get asked the most, and we get asked during our Lightroom conferences, and if you’re a LIghtroom Classic user, you will get a lot out of this one. Here’s the official trailer (below).

And here’s a link to the Top 20 Questions course.

Get up to speed on all the new Lightroom masking features

It’s most Lightroom in this course, but I also cover some of the new Photoshop things released here in the last quarter by Adobe. It’s a fast-paced course, but it covers a lot of really cool stuff. Here’s the official trailer (below).

And here’s a link to the course.

Getting Super Organized in Lightroom (cloud version)

If you just Lightroom for the cloud, this is a special version of my “Simplifed Lightroom Image Management” Systems (my ‘SLIM’ system) just for cloud users, and it’s all about finally getting really super organized so you know right where everything is; it’s easy to find, and your Lightroom life is a joy.

Here’s a link to that Getting Super Organized course.

Editing Editing and Making Movies All in Lightroom

If you shoot video on your DSLR or Mirrorless camera, you will be absolutely amazed at what you can do all within Lightroom Classic itself. This is a pretty mind blowing class, because it doesn’t seem like you should be able to put together a video with background music, a voiceover, transitions, fade ins/out, and save it an as HD-movie, but you absolutely can (and it’s so easy.

7 Really Useful Lightroom Masking Tips https://lightroomkillertips.com/7-really-useful-lightroom-masking-tips/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/7-really-useful-lightroom-masking-tips/#comments Fri, 09 Dec 2022 08:16:00 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=16850 It’s Friday – perfect day for some handy masking tips. Let’s go! If you’ve created a mask, let’s say it’s a Linear Gradient mask, and you want to create another Linear Gradient mask, just press the letter ‘n’ on your keyboard, and it creates a new one for you, ready for you to drag it out (no need to go to the Mask panel). The mask overlays shortcuts are based on the letter “O” (easy to remember: O for Overlay). Press ‘O’ to turn the mask’s overlay on/off. Toggle through the different mask overlays (Red tint, black, white, White on Black, etc.) by pressing Option-O on Mac (Alt-O on PC). To toggle through the different mask colors (red, green, white), press Shift-O. You can copy and paste masks from one image to another, and if you’re copying a mask that used Select Sky, Select Subject, or Select Background (any of the AI-powered masks) when you paste it, it quickly recalculates its AI masking for the new image you pasted it into. If you have a mask in place and you want the opposite of what’s selected, press the apostrophe key to invert the mask. By default, when you use any of the masking tools, the red tint overlay shows you the area that is masked. If you would prefer to have the red overlay show you unmasked areas (so the area you’ll be working on appears in full color without an overlay, turn on the ‘Show Overlay’ checkbox, then click on the square red color swatch to the right of it to bring up the floating color picker. At the bottom of the picker is a pop-up menu where you can switch from ‘Overlay shows “Affect Areas” (the default) to ‘Overlay shows “Unaffected areas.” Near the top of the Masks panel, you’ll see the word “Effect,” and to the right of it, you’ll see the word “Custom.” Click on that word, and a pop-up menu with some built-in mask adjustments you can use by choosing them from this list, including things like ‘Soften Skin.’ Once you apply a mask, for example, the People mask, ‘Face Skin’, if you then choose one of these effects (like soften skin), it applies that effect to your masked face skin area for you. If you’re painting with the Mask Brush and either the brush seems to be lagging (it’s not keeping up with your painting), or when you paint, it seems to be dropping out a little and missing certain little areas you’re painting over, press the letter “A” on your keyboard to turn the ‘Auto Mask’ feature off. When it’s on, it’s constantly trying to detect the edges of things and doing a lot of crazy math in real-time as you paint with the brush, and that tends to slow the brush down quite a bit and leave gaps. So, toggle Auto Mask on when you’re right near the edge of something you don’t want to spill over onto, but turn it off when you’re painting over areas that aren’t near an edge for a huge boost in performance without lag or it stuttering or leaving gaps. Hope you found that helpful. Here’s wishing you an absolutely fantastic weekend, unless you’re a San Francisco 49er’s fan, in which case I hope your Sunday is ruined. 😉 #GoBucs! -Scott

Create This Cool Multi-Photo Layout In Lightroom in Two Minutes https://lightroomkillertips.com/create-this-cool-multi-photo-layout-in-lightroom-in-two-minutes/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/create-this-cool-multi-photo-layout-in-lightroom-in-two-minutes/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2021 08:16:00 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=14578 I saw this layout (and the wonderful photos within it from photographer Adrian Scarbrough), in my LinkedIn feed (seen above), so I thought it might be helpful to show how to make a similar layout for your own images in Lightroom Classic (Lightroom cloud doesn’t have a printing feature). Anyway, it’s like I said: two minutes start to finish. Three minutes, tops. Here we go: STEP ONE: In the example we saw above, it was a square page size, so if you want that, you’ll need to create a custom page size, so click on the Page Setup button, and in the Page Setup window, from the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose ‘Manage Custom Sizes’ and then type in your desired size (in my case 12″ x 12″ and I set the borders to 0-inches all the way around, as seen above). STEP TWO: In this layout, there was around a 1.25″ margin on all sides, so go to the Layout panel and drag your Margin sliders to 1.25″ (as seen above). STEP THREE: Now, to create the nine cells for the images, in that panel go to the Page Grid sliders and drag them to 3 Rows and 3 Columns (as seen above) and it adds 9 cells like you see here. STEP FOUR: To add some space between the images, use the Cell Spacing sliders (as I did here, dragging them both to 0.57 to leave a nice gap between them as seen above). STEP FIVE: Now that our photo grid is set up, to make the page background that nice dark gray, go to the Page panel; click on the Background Color checkbox (it’s near the top of the panel), and then click on the little color white color swatch to the right of it, the Page Background Color picker you see above appears. Click on the dark gray background to make that your background color. STEP SIX: Now select the images you want to appear in your cells (just select them down in the Filmstrip, or in a collection, etc.) and they populate those cells (as seen here). Make sure the Zoom to Fill checkbox is turned on (in the Image Settings panel), and make sure “Rotate to Fit” is turned OFF, and you’ll have the look you see above. STEP SEVEN: Go to the Page panel; turn on the Identity Plate checkbox, and then in the corner of the Identity Plate preview, click the white down-facing arrow to bring up a pop-up menu; then choose ‘Edit’ from that pop-up menu to bring up the Identity Plate Editor window (seen above). Click on the “Use a graphical identity plate’ button at the top right, and then click the Locate File to choose your logo, or graphic, etc.. The background will need to be transparent behind your logo or signature (in our case), so the image you’re importing will need to be a file save in .PNG format, so it maintains that transparency when you bring it into Lightroom. STEP EIGHT: Your image will appear in the center of your screen – click and drag it to where you want it (in this case, under the bottom right corner). Here’s how the image will look once you turn off the “Show Guides” checkbox in the Guides panel. You can Save it this page as a JPEG so you can share it on social media. You do that at the top right corner of the Print Job panel. Where is says “Print to…” choose JPEG image. That’s all there is to it. One last thing: So you don’t have to built this layout again, go over the Template panel and save this as a new Template (click on the + sign to name it and Save it). Hope you found that helpful! Have a great weekend, everybody! -Scott P.S. I shared some “Scott Stuff” over on my other blog, including how I won a big photography contest, which totally caught me off guard. Here’s the link if you’ve got a sec.

How I Use Lightroom’s Color Labels https://lightroomkillertips.com/how-i-use-lightrooms-color-labels/ https://lightroomkillertips.com/how-i-use-lightrooms-color-labels/#comments Fri, 29 May 2020 08:16:00 +0000 https://lightroomkillertips.com/?p=13707 I primarily rely on Pick Flags and just the singular 5-star rating to tag photos in Lightroom Classic, but there’s a particular situation where I use Color Labels as well, and thought you might find it handy, too. Here’s a typical use for me: I’m doing a shoot (could be in-studio like this shoot above, or out on location where I’m shooting tethered), and there are multiple people working on this shoot. Maybe a model, a hair stylist, a makeup artist (MUA), maybe a fashion stylist, the client, and so on. To set up my Color Labels to use on this shoot, I want to give them names that work with what I’m doing. To do that, go to the Library module, under the Metadata menu, go to ‘Color Label Set’ and from the pop-out menu choose ‘Edit,’ (as shown above). When the Edit Color Label Set appears, it shows you the default names of Red, Yellow, Green, etc.. While you’re here, take not of the keyboard shortcuts for each of these color labels: Press 6 to add red label to a photo, 7 to add a yellow, 8 for green and so on. There’s no shortcut for purple. I rename the labels so I can tag my client’s favorite images, the model’s, the Makeup Artists, and the Hair Stylist’s images from that shoot (and yes, they will all have different choices. The client may be looking for one particular type of look; the hair stylist wants shots that really show off the hair. The Makeup artist wants ones where the makeup looks amazing, so you have (in this case) four other people beside the photography who want to make their picks for shots that they want from this shoot. By typing in their titles in this box, I won’t accidentally send the wrong person the wrong images. Once I’ve made up this set, if I think I’ll be using it again, I save it as a Color Label Preset by choosing ‘Save Current Settings as New Preset’ form the Preset pop-up menu at the top of the window (as seen here). Now, while we’re shooting if the Client sees a shot she really likes, I click on the thumbnail and hit the number 6 on my keyboard to add a red label to that image. Now I know which ones are the client’s favorites. If the Hair Stylist sees a shot she loves, I hit number 9 to assign it a blue label. Later, after the shoot is over and I’m starting to process the images in Lightroom, when I went to get a batch to get ready to send over to the client, I go down to the Color Label filter swatches on the top of the Filmstrip on the right side and I click on the Red label. Now, just the shots my client chose will appear on screen. I can just click through the color label filters like this and quickly see which images I need to send to which person. If I forget which color is for which person, I can go look in the Color Label editing window and I’ll see which close goes with which person. By the way — the image I like get a Pick Flag, so the Color Labels are for everybody else on the set. Hope you found that helpful. If you’re a beginner to photography, I’ve got a great free class for you to watch this weekend. The details and the official class trailer are over on my blog today. Here’s the link. Have a safe, fun, productive weekend, everybody! -Scott
