Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

iView Media to Lightroom conversion
Lightroom is on sale this weekend ($100 off) and a friend of mine would like to get it. He currently has his entire collection cataloged in iView Media Pro but would like to convert to Lightroom without losing his metadata. Has anyone tried this? What would happen to custom metadata fields in iView Media Pro?

Thanks.

If iView can write metadata to XMP or DNG files, then standard IPTC fields should import without problem into LR. Jpgs should also be straightforward. Custom fields would probably require a hack of some sort, which is not for the faint-hearted. You could probably find some examples on Google.
