List of Adobe Lightroom resources

Question

I'd like to make a list of Adobe Lightroom resources: Blogs, sites, tutorials, and so on...

Anything worth taking a look at.

Answer 1

Here are some sites you may find useful:

• http://lightroomkillertips.com/ [Video tutorials, present tips]
• http://www.presetsheaven.com/ [1,000s of free presets]
• http://lightroom-news.com/ [Latest news, releases]
• http://www.flickr.com/groups/presets/discuss/72157612664073371/ [Impressive collection of user presets]
• http://www.photoshopsupport.com/lightroom/tutorials.html [Tutorials]
• http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/lightroom/ [Lightroom tips]

Answer 2

One of the best tips I can offer is to use the help popup hotkey (which is sadly far under-publicized):

ctrl + / on Windows

⌘ + / on Mac OS

You get a module-specific popup that shows all the hotkeys for that module. Once you learn the hotkeys, your workflow becomes much smoother and faster.

Answer 3

The first thing that comes to my mind is: http://lightroomkillertips.com/

Answer 4

http://blog.ericscouten.com/2009/09/lightroom-2-technique-how-i-organize-my-catalog-and-why-2009-edition

That one helped me settle on a workflow and understand the compromises and limitations.

Update: The old link is now broken. Eric Scouten updated the article and has published a new 2012 edition.
