Well, at the time I write this, we’ve already canceled our March meeting, had travel restrictions imposed, schools closed, people told to work from home and most amazing to me, significant hording of toilet paper. So, to try to help out while we’re all practicing “Social Distancing”, I hope this month’s links will provide you with some distraction from what’s going around. Hopefully though, by the time the April newsletter comes out some of these restrictions will be alleviated.
First up, Blake Rudis of f64 Academy has had a few speaking engagements canceled so he put together several of his favorite tutorials calling them “The Cure for Cabin Fever”.
Here’s the link to his collection

Here’s a collection of Photoshop tips that also manage to fill up some time while we’re sitting at home. Colin Smith of Photoshop Café, in honor of Photoshops 30th anniversary, put together his Top 30 Photoshop tips calling it “30 Stupidly Useful Photoshop Tips You’ll Regret Not Knowing”. Unfortunately, he’s releasing it in three parts and only parts 1 and two have been released at the time of this writing. I’ll be sure to reference part 3 next month. You can catch the first two parts here.

In my post processing workflow, I start everything in Lightroom, then move it over to Photoshop for fine tuning and then bring it back into Lightroom. I’ve been doing this for about 11 years and pretty much have the process down. Chris O’Donnell from CreativeRaw.com, Just released a tutorial Titled “The Lightroom to Photoshop Roundtrip” In it he covers the best way to set up Lightroom and Photoshop to send and receive your images and the best way to send them over and to send them back. I did find a couple of points in his tutorial that will change my workflow. Here’s the tutorial.
