Lightroom 2.0 and Express

During our last meeting we spoke about Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop Express.

It is clear that Lightroom is becoming an essential part of the photographer's toolkit and Igno mentioned that one of the better sites to visit for Lightroom training was Julianne Kost's website.



To demonstrate the power of Photoshop Express, Igno showed how the pictures he had taken of steamtrains a few weeks before could be uploaded to Express.

For those of you who still care about steam engines, please join http://www.steam-in-action.com
Show that you care!

The example of the steamtrains can be viewed at :
