First day of work after nice and sweet holidays.

I'm back in urban flux, trafic, polution and stress.

Work= End of contemplation. End of liberty.

This photo shows how we miss the beauty of the world and nature when we work as robots.

Drivers in foreground drive so fast they can't see beautiful landscapes in background.

The dividers that follow are "inbox", "actions", "agendas", "projects", and "reference". I use the inbox for note taking, and when I process the notes remove them from the section. So if it's working the inbox is close to empty

Oh noes! I realized something was wrong with the workflow I was designing. Went back to sketches and BAM, fixed it.

Creating actions for future weddings is so much fun. Now I have pretty nice workflow developed.

New Presetr Fuji 400H preset as an import preset in Lightroom. Then I run the whole exported JPG folder through automated Photoshop action, which adds two Alienskin Exposure custom presets with film grain and a bit faded toning.

Most important part is the scaling, which I do atm. with the "Bicubic automatic" setting in Ps. It sharpens the grain to look even more like film.

I'm not after film look because it's film, but because it looks 'organic' (=more alive).

WORKFLOW:

5 exposures merge to HDR in CS4, save as 32bit Radiance

Toned mapped in Photomatix 3, Save as 8bit Tiff

Adjusted levels, Hi Pass, Noise Reduction, Borders and Texts in CS4, save as Jpg

So today I noticed that the Beta 2 for Adobe Lightroom 3 was out, and I decided to give it a shot. Never really understanding what was that different between LR and Bridge/ACR, I decided to give it a try. What the heck, can't beat the price.

Well, thus far, I love it. I did everything to the image posted here in LR (including uploading it to Flickr!), and it was fairly intuitive for someone already familiar with Bridge/ACR. I LOVE the brushes, too! My only concern is that since I can do so much in LR, I will be lazy and not go into PS when I only anticipate making minor adjustments there.

The second purpose of this post is to invite you all to the Disney Photo Challenge Group. While I'm sure many of you are already members, for those who aren't, this is a light-hearted group with topical challenges. It's not an ordinary "awards" group nor is it a critique group. It's more a fun and community type group...it also happens to be my favorite group on Flickr. So if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot; you might have a good time there, too!

Karolina & Jacek - wedding session at Gdynia Orłowo

I must admit that I developed Delicious Recipes firstly for myself ;)

I just couldn't stand so many hours it took me to create satisfying colors through Capture NX2, so I struggled to find other way for processing with my beloved colors. And finally I developed them in Lightroom 4 with Color Efex Pro :)

Now I have such an easy way to get my RAW files developed. Now it takes 4-7 hours of work from import to LR to export for a 380-450 wedding. ( Time depends on lighting conditions and retouch needed ). Before, in CaptureNX 2 it took me rather 20-35 hours and it was definitely worth it, as colors were brilliant, but so time-consuming!

I share all the details of my actual workflow for Lightroom 4/5 + Color Efex Pro 4 in Delicious Recipes. All the instructions and tips, combined with all the recipes and presets needed to get beautiful results fast:
