I recently wrote up a couple blog posts detailing my post-production workflow using Adobe Lightroom 3 and a few different Nik Software plug-ins including Viveza 2, Color Efex Pro 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2. I've posted links here to these mini-tutorials and they've always received positive feedback so I thought I'd share the two latest posts.
An Image Is Born: A Digital Darkroom Tour - In this post I discuss my workflow using Lightroom 3, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro 4 on a recent image of the Fisher Towers and La Sal Mountains reflecting in the Colorado River.
Archive Dive: One That Isn't - In this post I discuss the process and logic behind a black and white conversion of an intimate landscape I discovered in Redwood National Park. I used Lightroom 3, Silver Efex Pro 2, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro 4.
I hope you find these useful. Happy holidays to everyone!
