Adobe gives Sneak Peek of Lightroom 1.1 at Scott Kelby's Seminar

Scott Kelby’s new Lightroom Seminar had Tom Hogarty (Lightroom Product Manager) as a guest. He showed the audience some new features that will be coming in the upgrade.

Here is what Scott Kelby had to say:

“Here’s a quick rundown of what Tom showed the crowd:

He showed how you can now easily export one library of photos (now called “catalogs”) and import that catalog into an existing library (perfect for people who work on a laptop on location, then need to merge these photos with their desktop studio machine).


The “Keyword Stamper” has evolved into a much more useful tool, which now lets “Spray” (rather than individually stamping, so it’s much faster), anything from keywords to Develop settings, or rotation settings. This totally wow’d everybody when they saw it in action.


Version 1.1 brings order to your presets and templates as these sections now have folders, so you can easily separate your custom presets and imported presets and templates from the default sets.
But the big, big hit of his presentation was definitely the new Sharpening panel, which pretty much blew everybody away, especially when used with the new Clarity control. This brought cheers from the crowd, which were only matched by Tom’s announcement that Adobe was making this update available for free!!! (we don’t have an official release date, other than “it’s coming soon). “

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
