I've been playing with the Lightroom 2 public beta (free here) and finding some things I really like. Take the new Clarity, for example. Clarity controls are found under the Basic pane in the right panel of the Develop module. Traditionally, Lightroom's Clarity has been used for local contrast enhancement and gives dull images a "punch".
With Lightroom 2, Clarity can have a reserve effect, a negative Clarity if you will. Negative values, (up to -100) when applied to a photo of, say, a face can give skin a smooth silky look (You can use reverse Clarity with the new localized adjustment tool as well). I was curious how negative Clarity might work on some of my Tasmanian landscapes and I was pleasantly surprised. Tasmania already has a romantic feel to it, but this simple adjustment really brought out the romantic quality even more, as you can see by looking at my Romantic Tasmania web gallery. I've also prepared a simple video that walks you through what I did using the public beta on one of the images. I'll post that shortly.
As a team member in Tasmania, trying to follow the activities of 24 photographers shooting over ten days could make one downright mad. One was likely to just get the crazy stories in bits and pieces - or hope to see an image or two. But of all of the photographers, what Bruce Dale was up to each day was the most mysterious to me. Bruce, long time national Geographic staff photographer (30 plus years I understand!), would dissolve each day into the Tasmanian landscape, to return at night with an impressive breadth of subjects. Not only did Bruce have stunning landscape images, but also intimate and rich visual stories of the people of Tasmania: A pirate wedding Bruce was invited to for example, or the slaughter of a pig - subjects only obtainable to photographers with the master key to all of the proverbial doors a photojournalist might want to enter! Bruce has put together a Lightroom gallery showing a bit of what he was up to in Tasmania, and it is stunning to say the least. The gallery shows off a bit of the photographic and journalistic skills a rich and full career at National Geographic can cultivate. You need to check it out!
After seeing the gallery, I even more sorely regret not trying to tag along with Bruce like young grasshopper on one of his deep Tasmania day missions to learn what I could!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure 2008: Tasmania
In April, 2008, a group of internationally renowned photographers
will travel to the end of the world, literally, to the remote island
of Tasmania. Their mission is to road test specialized digital
photography software designed by Adobe while capturing images from
one of the world's most mysterious and varied geographic locations.
Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, photographers will upload, sort, keyword, adjust, and output their Raw images while still working in the field. On this page, you can read the stories, see the images, and watch the photographers discuss this challenging assignment. Blog posts will be updated regularly. Mikkel Aaland, project director, will be capturing the lessons learned for his book on Adobe Lightroom, scheduled to be published by O'Reilly Media later this year.
