Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts – I Create Content #1

Good evening everyone!

It’s a late night post as Monday did it’s best to get away from me. Kicked off the morning with a Photoshop class, had a wonderful visit with the Dallas Municipal Court in the early afternoon, wrapped up with an evening InDesign class and STILL managed to get episode #1 of the new podcast online.

The new show is “I Create Content” and describes anyone participating in today’s digital world. Whether you’re a professional or enthusiast if you’re posting content online this show is for you. I’m expanding the software base to include the whole Adobe Creative Suite, and I’ll be doing product reviews & interviews in the future. The show is release Monday, Wednesday & Friday each week, so plenty of video goodness to go around. In today’s episode I run through some quick Lightroom keyboard shortcuts.

I want to thank Jude Ng for creating the new AE intro, Dave Curlee & John P of Livid Lobster for hooking me up with the green screen & studio time, and J. Schuh aka the TexasAnimator for whipping up such a cool logo. He’s also the man behind the AE Media Cats logo).

June 6 – Week Recap

Good morning everyone. Here’s a recap of this week’s shared content:

1. Ten More Things About Photoshop posted on TipSquirrel. Part of my Top Ten series, you can never have enough Photoshop tips.

2. Working with Nested Styles in InDesign posted on Layers Magazine. InDesign is definitely a “must know” app for designers, especially now in the era of ebooks & tablet computing.

3. Learning Digital Photography Podcast #59 posted on Canon Blogger. YES! It finally happened, I’m actually talking in real time LIVE with none other than Mr. Jason Anderson. I try to get serious, he makes me laugh, you won’t see any of it because it’s an audio podcast.

4. I’ve been helping Sonya Bowser with her children’s book “The Adventures of Zolie Z“. It’s been a fun project that I can share with my daughter.

5. I am VERY EXCITED to have written the featured Lightroom article in the June issue of Photoshop User magazine. I have to give credit to Mike Mackenzie whose editing expertise really makes my writing exemplary. It’s an honor to write for a magazine that I actually read each month and work with the outstanding folks at NAPP. Remember, as your NAPP Evangelist, you can use my name “ajwood” when you join NAPP to receive a free DVD & discount off your membership. NAPP has also been gracious enough to let me post a PDF of my article here are the website. Download A.J.’s Lightroom Article from PSU Magazine.

5. Changes to my YouTube channel. Starting next Monday, I’ll be posting videos three times a week on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Tutorials will continue but future videos will include interviews, product/service reviews, and a few surprises for YOU my loyal viewers.

Well, that’s been my crazy week. Enjoy your weekend and I’ll catch you next week!
