Lightroom, its Light Work

As a photographer, it makes me cringe everytime I see poorly uploaded photos to Facebook, but what is even worse, is when a fellow photographer uploades incorrectly optimised images.

Honestly...as photographers we are the trend setters, people look to us as inspiration, and we should always be uploading the clearest possible images for our clients to view and ideally have them book us.

So how difficult is it? Its actually insanely easy, Lightroom makes it so simple, especially if you are batch exporting, or even just 1 or 2 images.

Once you have edited your images and you export them in the usual 'full res' you do for your clients, I generally select my favourites for Facebook, I then export these into a Facebook Folder. The first time you ever do this will take a minute or 2, everytime there after is literally like clicking 3 tick boxes.

So this…

Hello, guys. I'm one of the editors of a wedding retouching blog, and I have a task to write an article about people's choice to work as photographers. Please, answer the following questions:

1. How long you are shooting? 2. Mark your skills level (Beginner, Intermediate, Pro) 3. Do you have a job related to it? (if yes, freelance or full time job) 4. What is your favorite type of work? (wedding photos, portraits, etc)

I'll be very glad to listen to your answers.

This is truly one of my biggest hates when viewing a photographers work.

Have you ever taken a photo and seen those tiny little ghosty green or pink edges on certain detail, usually near over exposed edges like wedding ring diamons, shiny areas, leaves in the sky etc.

Well its an ABSOLUTE simple problem to fix...but some professional photographers don't even bother. Is that still professional?

What causes it? Well its a rather long and boring debate, but lets say this, a LOT of prime lenses do it, but with that said a lot of cheaper primes also do it. Now I'm not saying the expensive ones don't, even my Nikon 105mm 2.8 Macro and my Nikon 50mm 1.4G are major problem lenses when it comes to the chromatic ghost.

Cause aside...there's a way to fix it and your clients shouldnt have to receive images with lens design fault incorporated…
