I thought it might be helpful to share some of my impressions and how I’ve come to use this platform within my existing photo workflow.

I don’t often get questions about how to apply keywords to photos, but I do hear from people who are struggling to regain a bit of order over an unruly keyword list, so it is to them that I devote this column. Unfortunately, there is no magic wand to wave and automatically fix a disorganized keyword list, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves, put the kettle on, and just get down to business.

In about 48 hours I’ll be heading off to my 10th Photoshop World and I am stoked! I love Photoshop World.

The staff is dedicated, the trainers are the best in the business and leading vendors in the industry show up to wow us with their wares. On top of all that this one is in Vegas. Yeah, I know you love it or you hate it, but you’ve got to admit there is no place else like it.
Geocoding: Using GPS Data in Your Lightroom Workflow
