I just wanted to post up to tell you about the Seim Effects affiliate program. I like to reward people for spreading the word on Seim Effects, and if you want to get involved at the next level you can join the affiliate program.Basically you link to Seim Effects from your site or photo blog, and when people click thru from your site and buy a product you make money. We pay a nice affiliate percentage that’s more than most program out there.

It’s really easy. Just sign up for the program, and add links or affiliate image to your site. We’ll even help you set up if you need it.

I wanted to post a free video from my up and coming Seim Effect video series.

Burn and dodge is one of those overlooked gems that can give you control over where viewer attention is drawn to in an image. Some people avoid vignettes, burns and dodges because they don’t realize how effective they can be.

I see images nearly every day that could be twice as good with a little B&D Love. This is just as important with HDR images ass well ad they tend to be a bit flat in their natural state. Here’s a Seim Effects video on the topic. It’s slightly cheesy, but a good look at how I leverage B&D. Click the link to get the free High Res version.

There’s a couple ways to do this, but the power user method gives you a lot more controll.

I recently did an article in Pro Photo Show that descibes how to do it, with screenshots.

Well it’s finally here. Power Workflow 1.7, with full RAW & JPEG compatibility.

This was a bug project, but I’m so glad I did it. Many presets will simply not work properly on JPEG files, and there are many JPEG shooters out there. Well with the new version there’s a complete set of presets for both!

There’s also some other cool enhancements in version 1.7, and I’m really excited about the new Power Workflow. It’s making the Lightroom workflow amazing, and saving us hours upon hours off our editing time.

If you already own them you should have an update email in your inbox, and if not you can get them in the store right now for under 30- bucks.

Power Workflow 1.7 with full RAW & JPEG support is coming.

I know there’s a number of you waiting for it, and those of you that have emailed me have been added to the notification list.

It’s turned out to be quite a tedious project. Each and every preset had to be applied to a JPEG file, and then totally revamped to correct for the differenced in JPEG files.

The whole project is taking a bit longer that I had originally planned but I’m about 75% done. They will be here soon!
