Movable Type Printing Press @ Spaceship Earth 2012

I thought this shot of the movable type printing press was the most appropriate for my first Disney shot processed with Lightroom 4. I didn't play with the beta all that much, but let me say I am completely blown away with the improvements made from LR3.6 to LR4.

 

It's going to take me a little bit to get used to the new sliders, but after only processing 2 photos I'm already in love with the changes Adobe made.

 

Removing the 'brightness' slider and replacing it with Highlights, shadows, whites & blacks allowed me to keep that guy in the front's beard from being completely blown out.

 

I had worked on this shot in Lightroom 3.6, and I was pleased with the results, but I am much more happy with the way it looks now.

 

There are also the cool new Map & Book modules to play around with. Not to mention the overall price drop on Lightroom. Good show Adobe, good show!

 

Still curious how many others use Lightroom versus Aperture, iPhone or just straight up Photoshop. Sound off in the comments if you don't mind.

 

Thanks for looking, & have a fantastic weekend
