Hi,
If you want a go at underwater presets I can provide material for you to work on. Let me know what sort of thing you would like.

Hi Don,
Best thing I can do is point you to a couple of links:
First off, here is the Amazon page with over 60 reviews. B&N isn’t really the online bookseller that Amazon is, so not many people review there. Here’s the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/Layers-Complete-Photoshops-Powerful-Feature/dp/0321534166/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202511699&sr=8-1

Next is a page from the comments on this Lightroom blog from a while ago. You’ll see a few posts from people that like the book. Since Lightroom is a photographers tool and they left these comments I’d assume they’re photographers of some sort too.

Anyway, thanks for considering the book. Hope this helps.

I was thinking about getting your new book on layers until I read a review on Barnes and Noble. It said it is not really for photographers. Since I haven’t seen a copy, what is your response?

Hi Matt,

do you know if Lightroom 2.x will support digitally signing (via SSL Certificates) photographs in the near future? If not, do you know of any plugins (photoshop or lightroom) that will do the job?

Hi Matt - long time reader, first time commenter! Great job with the tips and info. I noticed that you called attention to the contact page by lightroomgalleries, but they just released a working beta version of a complete website solution that can be totally created in Lightroom! It is complete with cart (linked to paypal), contact page, galleries and other extra features. Very nice. It is the exact solution I’ve been looking for to show/sell proofs to clients, and I figured some other readers might be interested.
As as aside…I don’t work for them or profit for their work - I’m just so impressed I had to share it with others.
Here is a demo of my client proofing site created in lightroom with the lightroomgalleries.com template: http://www.1kphoto.com/proofs

Way to go on making top rankings with your books Matt! Layers was great, I picked up on a few cool features I didn’t know about and look forward to seeing more from you.

Google “Don Smith Photography.” Love this guy’s landscape and NHL work.

my concern about the facebook connection is that when you put photos on facebook… in the fine print facebook declares that they have the rights to use them (for anything including advertising etc)
Until facebook gets the privacy and copyright factor fixed I wouldn’t want to put a photo there (a link for sure- the photo no way! :))
