So I got it in and I edited it and I got it out again and I stored it where I think I know it is...... Took up photography 18 months ago to dust off the rusty brain cells. Sat with my new text book for lightroom and figuring it out on a laptop operating system I know zero about.... excuse me whilst I go do a happy dance at getting an image in and out and onto here!!!!
Sympathies and commiserations, Ruth! I have given up on Lightroom and its Apple equivalent Aperture. I'm sure they are good at organising your stuff… but as with all organisers you have to decide how you want it to be, which is where I fall over! Anyway this is a super shot, whatever you have used processed it.
BTW Minions - some kind of cartoon characters? More Smurf than South park? Just guessing!
@graemestevens yeah my text book came supplied with a fluffy green one for getting the dust off.... If the duster fails the book will make a great door stop....
Don't know the first thing about lightroom but it does produce a very nice shot with lovely subtle colours and textures and of course with more than a little help from the photographer!
And a wonderful image it is too, such great texture, a fav for me. I admire you greatly for figuring out Lightroom. I'm a retired librarian,, but can't figure out the "library" portion of LR, and so have never got as far as actually editing anything in it. For the moment I will stick with PS CC.
This is a lovely image... good for you, to get out there and experiment with Lightroom. A well-deserved "happy dance!" Lovely peeling paint and lines, too.
Fabulous shot, just love this. Well done for tackling Lightroom. We have Lightroom and Photoshop on our computers, but I stick to Photoshop I know my way round that pretty well.
@newbank I've also just got lightroom - found this link online http://www.lightroomqueen.com
and am also doing a cheeky little get start course - could probably try and figure it all out myself .. but am likely to get into a pickle!!
Happy dance away -- you've earned it!! Terrific image and it isn't that long ago that I remember how satisfying it was just to find the image, be able to work on it, and find it again once exported! It does get easier and faster.
@annied I was thinking more of such indecisions as which foot to put forward next! :-) Back to the Lightroom thing… its mainly 'software intolerance' with me. If it isn't intuitive, if I have to spend more than 5' getting it to do what I want, then I ditch it! I imagine that the drug companies are working right now on getting it classified as a disease so they can patent a pill for it!
@yrhenwr hahaha - a pill - yes - I imagine they are - editing suites are completely addictive - I must admit I love faffing around but then I do often want to hit something during the process - will a pill fix that?

I haven't plunged into my lightroom yet - mammoth thought
