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!

The end of Windows XP
I can't imagine many if any people still run windows XP, but just in case you do this might be of interest:

Adobe announces that Photoshop will no longer support Windows XP.

that's good to know in advance. A couple of months ago I was about to pull the trigger and get Lightroom 4, but happened to notice that it wouldn't work on XP. Now I have to decide whether it's worth it to upgrade my 32-bit laptop to Windows 7.

Lightroom 4 is not the fastest program.....I'm running it on 2 nicely spec'd machines (workstation with a Xeon w3540, and a laptop with a i7-2670QM) and still speed can be an issue. I'd seriously think about upgrading your hardware if possible before making the switch.

Lightroom is a DOG and it's not because of disk access that's for sure. I have multiple SSD's striped and getting 400MB/sec on old SATA2 (Drives are spec'd 3) But Dual XEON from 5 years ago are what's killing me.. Just too damn slow... So hardware is my next essential upgrade.

Is it still usable? And which processors do you have? I'm just curious in case I need to ever use my backup workstation which is about the same age running a Xeon 5120.

Thanks. I'd heard that it was slow, so I'm not excited about putting on my laptop. I wonder if LR4 is any slower than the Organizer in PS Elements 7? That is the definition of slowness!

LR is a memory hog. If you are running a x32 OS and therefore clamped at 3MB of addressable memory you will end up paging a lot. My newest laptop has 32MB of fast RAM and LR seems rather happy with that. My prior DT at 12MB and things often got dicy, especially once I started opening CS as well.
