4 x 6 Prints - PhotoCamel

Jonathanp · 09-15-2006

Hello Everyone,

How do you do your cropping? Most of the time I just do my crops in ACR or Capture One, but there has to be a faster way. I can automate the function, but then I get no options for what is and isn't cut. I even went so far as to fit two images on one 4x6 without any crop for one job as proofs. Other then contact sheets what do you all do for 4x6's? Anyone figured out a quick way to do it or do you all just let the place you print at decide?

I am flat out BLOWN AWAY again by Adobe Lightroom. It makes 4x6 cropping a joy. Yep thats right I said it. A JOY!
Go grab the beta 4. And yes I answered my own question it only took me a week or so.

I've still not taken a liking to Lightroom, but if you want to convince me then fire away

Well, as of today I am not on Adobes payroll, but after using many RAW processing applications I still love it. What do you not like about it?

Things I find killer
- contact sheets [fast and easy to create]. Clients love em.
- Cropping
- Can't miss WB

Maybe a touch big.
- Unlike Capture One I am not jumping to 3 different tool bars to develop RAW. I just scroll up and down. I still love Capture One, BTW.

I just found it a bit of a confusing mess, and very slow. I'll have a play with beta4 later - supposed to have some improvements in it.
