Explorer>username>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Lightroom>Develop Presets>User Presets Hope this helps Allan Matt

I have a 250 Gb external drive which I use for backing up my photos during the import into lightroom from the Compact Flash card. Where do I find all the files with images I have worked on in the develop module so that Data can be backed up and then downloaded onto the laptop and then correspond with those pictures. Your help is appreciated Allan Matt

Under 'Develop Presets' you can create folders and sort your presets at that level. I have Matts preset in one folder - soon to be subdivided, there's so many. Then I have 'My presets', and some others - all in different folders. Much less scrolling.... Gareth Good tip - but I notice you’ve got l;ots of presets.

It should be written by you and Scott Kelby together. It will cover the entire other side of the fence on Photoshop and be a great book. I would also like to see Corey Barker write a vol2 of the The Photoshop Classic Effects book (I know he didn't do the part 1). When is Scott Kelby going to release his CS3 version of the Down & Dirty Tricks book? I would like there to be an Illustrator Killer Tips podcast by you or Corey Barker. Looking forward to seeing these things soon. Daniel Rocking the Houseski,

Haven't had a chance to check the book out, but I am sure its going to be great. I agree with the above comment about a video/tip on how to use Lightroom to create a camera setting for each of your individual cameras. I have done parametric tests on all my film/camera combonations (Im a grad school geek), I would love to have this type of control with my digitals.... I have seen stuff around the web using complex actions and scripts and all that, any of you guys from the photoshop/lightroom crew have an easy way to do it??? Anyway, thanks for everything, and I am very grateful for all that you do in the imaging world. :) Hey Matt,

I really enjoy your videos since they light up new features that I havn't discovered on my own yet, and probably never would have... But there is one thing that bothers me: When I whant to edit a photo in Photoshop via Lightroom (this is for both JPEG and RAW) I can only choose to edit as TIFF or PSD. I perfectly understand why the option is TIFF and not JPEG, but is there a way to open the photo as a smart object, so that one can return to the RAWconverting at a later time? If there is no way, do you have any idea why? For me it seems unnecesary to use Bridge if the only other Adobe applications used are PS and Lightroom, but since the smart object option isn't available via Lightroom I have to find the photo via Bridge, PS or finder/explorer... I hope you can decipher my lousy english. Please, if you have an answer, send it to my email [Jidder.fk.se(at)gmail.com], since I mostly only watch the videos and don't come here that often. Many thanks in advance, Hampus Haara Hi Matt!

I use a combination of extra clarity & vibrance, plus my preferred tone curve, sharpening setting and camera calibration. That way, all my new RAW imports get the treatment automatically, and its a great starting point for further adjustments. If lens corrections and noise reduction are issues for your equipment then corrections can be applied automatically too. Lightroom can even apply different default settings depending on the camera used (useful if you have more than one body) or on the ISO setting. Everyone's favourite default setting will be different of course. Matt - it may be worth a video to explain how to set this up for those who haven't worked it out. Many thanks for all the great tips. Your site is one of the very few I have set up for an RSS feed. Matt,
