I ♥ Lightroom

You may or may not be familiar with the photo editing software, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.  It is AH-MAY-ZING.  Albert downloaded the free trial on our iMac before we left and I loved it so much I downloaded another free trial (shhhhhh) on our MacBook while we're in transition.  I LOVE IT!  I just had to share with you.  :)  Here's an example of why I love it... a popular "mommy-blogger" MckMama posted a tutorial on how she got some of her photos to have a "vintage" look to them.  With Lightroom I was able to follow her steps, SAVE the steps as a Preset, and now can give any photo I desire that same look!

Like I said, AH-MAY-ZING!

Here is a photo Albert took of Ben while we were in St. Louis:


Straight Out Of the Camera it is a beautiful shot!

Now here it is with one of Lightroom's ready-made presets (that I toggled with a bit):




And here it is with the preset I copied and saved from MckMama:


So much fun, right??  Ok, maybe that's just me... lol!  I could honestly play all day in Lightroom and still have not discovered all the awesome tricks!

So there it is, I just had to share my love of Lightroom.  If you are a photo-enthusist like myself, DOWNLOAD THE FREE TRIAL, you will love it!  The end.  ;)
