Interesting Links for January 24th, 2012
A few interesting links about 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:
- Getting used to the PV2012 Develop Sliders? | The Lightroom Queen
This is the best summary I've seen yet on how to use the new exposure controls in the Develop module in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 beta. Exposure has been completely rewritten, but it's not obvious on first glance exactly how it's different. This writeup really helps! - Followed Photography Sites – Flaunt Your Site
A great list of photography websites that don't use the "nofollow" attribute on comment links. This means that if you comment on those sites, your own site will earn some page rank. Page Rank = Good SEO. - Foldable Softboxes from StrobePro.com
These are my new favorite photography gadgets! If you have ever setup a traditional softbox (with flexible poles that you insert into a speedring and then force into the fabric of the box) you'll know that it's annoying and time consuming! Well it doesn't have to be that way anymore. These great new boxes from StrobePro fold like an umbrella. Fast and easy! - A Catalog In The Cloud Revisited | Lightroom Secrets
Using Dropbox to sync your Adobe Lightroom catalog to multiple computers is a fantastic way to take Lightroom with you when you're on the go, or to simply make use of multiple workstations in your own home or office. Dropbox now has an option Selectively Sync only the files you want to sync, which allows you to exclude the image previews when you sync your catalog. They aren't necessary to make this work, and this saves a lot of space on your Dropbox account! - Free Business Plan Workbook for Photographers
Most photographers that I know could use help to run their business better. Here is a free resource that just might help to kick the new year off in the right direction.
