Link RoundupA few interesting links about Professional Photography, Technology, Social Media, and Gadgets that I’ve come across recently. Some are smart, some are funny, and some are just plain dumb, but they are all interesting for one reason or another. Have a look and let me know what you think:

  • How to Add Multiple Administrators to Google+ Pages
    Photography business pages on Google+ Local are great, but if you have employees then you are definitely going to want some help to manage the page. It's not exactly intuitive to figure out how to do that. This article takes you through it step by step…
  • Gordon Ramsay’s ultimate recipe for business | LinkedIn
    So much of what we do in running a photography business is just like broccoli soup. The fewer ingredients and the simpler it is to make, the better it is. We can all learn a thing or two from old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares…
  • Another reason not to give a discount
    Discounts almost never help your photography business in the long term. They might provide a short term boost, but they will eventually come back to bite you. Here are a couple more ideas about why photographers should not discount their products or services.
  • How not to use a referral | LifeHealthPro
    A business referral is a precious thing for any photographer. There are good ways to use referrals and some things that you should never do. This article makes a couple of great points about how to best followup with the potential clients that you've been referred.
  • Selling vs Offering {actually selling your work}
    It may seem like a subtle difference, but for a photographer to change from simply offering products to thier portrait clients to actually trying to sell their work is actually a major change. It can be the difference between a small sale and a really large sale. This is a very important article for any photographer to read.

Selecting the CD/DVD Tray in Photoshop on a Mac

Epson Direct Printable CD - DVD Template - Type 1I published an article a long time ago entitled “Print Directly to Epson CD or DVD Tray with Photoshop“. This is one of the most popular posts on this site and, although it was written way back in 2011, it still gets plenty of comments and I get private questions about it by email all the time.

One of the most common questions is from Apple users asking how to select the CD/DVD tray in the print settings dialog on a Macintosh computer running OSX. I don’t have a Mac myself, but the following advice from Chris Pahlow seems to do the trick:

I used this template on a mac, it can be done. In photoshop, go to the print window (cmd + p). Then click “Print Settlings …” This will open up a new dialog window. Underneath the dropdown box for “Paper Size” should be another drop down box. By default on my photoshop it says “Layout”. Go into that dropdown box and select “Print Settings”. Then under “Media Type” select “CD/DVD”. Bingo! Then the printer will print the template directly onto the disk, no other software needed :)

Please give it a try and let me know how it works for you. I’d love to verify that it actually works this way.

  • LR Backup – Backup Lightroom configuration and compress catalog backups
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has a catalog backup tool but it creates massively bloated files AND you have to remember to use it. Fortunately there is a better way. LR-Config-Backup saves all of your LR configuration files, creates compressed copies of your backup Catalog, AND allows you to schedule it so you won't forget to create your backups. The compression saves about 90% of the HDD space that LR's normal backups take. Be sure to set your backup folder to be somewhere that gets copied to your external backup system and you will never lose your LR catalog or configuration files…
