During photokina we payed a visit to the Aperture booth, had a chat with Ted Sim, and we totally fell in love with their new products. Actually, we have been using Aputure’s LEDs for quite a while now, so we were not surprised. What we were surprised with is the price points for the various [...]

Lightroom can be an intimidating program. Even longtime users sometimesfind themselves confused at all the options or unsure of exactly what to do to achieve a specific type of look for their pictures.
