Lightroom 3 at Ycademy Seminar
Smashing the new Lightroom 3 from Adobe. While many features useful for the professional photographer have been improved, Adobe has also thought of hobby photographers and laymen. The new edition of Lightroom makes online publishing a Sunday walk.
Smashing namely the new slide-show function which provides a quick solution for people who have little time and great ambitions.
Here is my test run, loaded to YouTube

Quick Lightroom 3 Slideshow Quality
Lightroom 3 lets you export slide-shows in different formats; unfortunately there is not much flexibility there and the presets are 3:2 formated. However you can get 720p and 1080p as well, producing thus a YouTube HD movie as per above.
You can also export your slides in PDF format.

The images used are 4000 x 3000 pixels. Lightroom crops and compresses and in as much as I am concerned, much of the actual quality and detail is lost. here is an excerpt of one of the pictures as it came out of the camera:
When looking through the pdf or the YouTube clip, you will easily notice the difference. The images are not crisp, nor sharp and color gradients are washed away. The pdf is better than the YouTube version which is due to the YouTube compression.
Note also the Copyright mark in the slide-show frame on YouTube: I should have used a bolder face type.
In spite of the above, I am convinced that with Lightroom 3 will be a great help in publishing for many people and save a lot of time in the work-flow related to basic web publishing.
We will experiment with Lightroom 3 at the Ycademy Online Seminar which will start in just about 3 hours.
