Charlie is simply a master photographer and printer and my print making went up 10 levels after the class. There is now a tutorial from Charlie on Luminous Landscape: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/techniques/tonal_adjustments_in_the_age_of_lightroom_4.shtml He's basically amazed at the new capabilities of LR4 and shows how he adjust for shadows and highlights in LR4 with better results than the Highlight/Shadow layer in CS. I highly recommend this article for all Luggers. If you ever get the chance to take one of his printing courses (he offers 3 flavors, I think: one 4 day intensive class near the San Jose, CA airport and 2 workshops with John Sexton in Yosemite and Big Sur) every penny spent will be well worth it. Enjoy the article and try it on a few of your images. I may not me setting my M to -0.3 exposure adjustment anymore... Best, Bob -- Bob Adler Redwood City, CA http://www.rgaphoto.com
