@Jensenly: nice to hear from you again, Jen! We actually just received a review copy of a food photography book that, fingers-crossed, may help us take better shots initially, that require less editing in Lightroom.

Cool post. I had no idea that this type of software existed for “enhancing” photos to this degree. I thought I was pretty hip for knowing how to eliminate red-eyes and wrinkles using my iPhoto! Can’t wait to see what you going to do down the road! Happy snapping!

Hi, Jill! I know, it takes some time to learn and the key is to start trying to plate better, but Lightroom REALLY helps the pictures. Let me know if you play around w/ it! Also, check back here soon b/c we may be offering a free copy to be won by a reader!

Thanks for holding out a “ray” of hope!! I will have to look into this as my food tastes a whole lot better than my pictures look!

A cave but more expensive??? Hahaha, you made me laugh here!!!!
Thanks for the photography tips. I used to use photoshop and/or picasa and now that I have a Mac (Yes, I know I’m so fortunate ) I use the Iphoto.
But I’m also lucky to have natural light (my kitchen is near the cave’s entrance) and THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE .

J&A–just discovered some pretty excellent (in my opinion) writing on katechristensen.wordpress.com Food plus good stories/essays—you must read millions, but try just one and maybe you’ll like it too….

Deb – I agree w/ you – the before is a bit better, but I kinda like the painted lamb chop thing too. maybe not as tasty looking!

Hey, Joan! I TOTALLY agree with the organization aspect – I’m still trying to understand many things as well – I highly recommend their forums on adobe as well as the tutorials. It’s definitely a help! I hope you teach me a few things after your online course! thanks for your comment.

I want more! A couple of months ago, I switched over to Lightroom but went by the seat of my pants…with little to no instruction. That turned into a lot of frustration. I love the editing capabilities but have had difficulties grasping the organization aspect. I just signed up for an online course on lynda.com and the fog is beginning to lift…slowly. There’s much to learn, but I’m excited to take my photos to the next level. I hope you continue to share your experience.
