And so it is the same today – or yesterday for that matter. In a past life I used to be a person-with-a-proper-job and I am quite glad that for that proper job I was an electronics engineer, it seems to help me when things go wrong.

I was editing my latest wedding on my lovely new iMac (even though it does look a tiny bit yellow) using Adobe Lightroom 2 (which is great) when funny things started happening. I’d edit a picture, but when I’d come back to it the brightness would increase and the tonal quality of the picture would change. This started to get very annoying. This happenned for quite some time. I got grumpy.

After some investigation work (which included peaking inside the preset files) I finally tracked the problem down to some Lightroom Presets I was using. Turns out that the Camera Profile was set to a profile that was not installed on my computer, and when the picture reloaded Lightroom loaded the ACR 4.4 profile not the Camera Standard profile that I usually use. For non photographers this will not make much sense, but for those that understand I hope it saves you some grief. I just glad I got to the bottom of it.

Which goes to show that even though I sometime just-want-to-take-great-photographs, you just can’t get away from technology. Speaking of which: I can’t wait to see the final version of Lightroom 3, and CS5 looks great! Now – back to the photography.
