Doug at my work let me know about an unbelievably cool tool created by Adobe called LightRoom. LightRoom is a tool designed to help phoographers manage and develop large volumes of photographs. It is amazing what you can accomplish with very little training or understanding what is going on behind the scenes. Tell a lie...Doug did give me a 5 minute introduction to the plethora of keyboard shortcuts. I think that is one factor that makes it such an effective tool - the fact that you can develop a photograph via a few keyboad shortcuts.
The image directly below has been cropped from a larger image and had an antique light preset applied to it. Those of you with a sharp eye will also notice the absence of his chin scratch and mole. LightRoom has a fantasic "Heal" feaure that enables you to remove dust spots from a photograph (apparently the bane of all phorographers). I always wondered how they airbrushed supermodels!
Those of you who want further information can visit the LightRoom website at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/
