Adobe Lightroom’s most important (and least known about) feature

[karen_s]

Nice post and very useful info. Lightroom's default works pretty well for me at the moment but I may give this a try anyway. I plan to add a second camera body in the not too distant future and my guess is that the two will handle noise quite differently and sharpening needs may differ. I can see this as being very useful and a bit of a time saver.

Thanks for the post.

As you had deducted, I was confused as to what "Photologyst" was trying to convey. I hope you don't mind, I've quoted you in my original post here. Should go a long way to clarify the original intent of the posting.

Thanks again for clearing that up.

You're welcome.. yeah I could tell it was a basic lack of knowledge of what you were getting at and no problem quoting me. Thanks again for good tip.

Al, as a complete newb to LR, thanks for putting that in to an easy to digest manner for us slower people.

This is a great tut Tony! I am going to have to apply this myself, since I am always between ISO800, and 1600. The quicker I can get through it, the better!
Thanks again!

Agreed, the "sharpening last" thing is more relevant when using a more traditional "layers in photoshop" technique.
