I received a tutorial request for a Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3
If you watched my other HDR Pro Tutorial series using Adobe Bridge, it covers a lot of the same material, but the HDR composite is always different. So inherently the editing is different in Adobe Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro

Jay,
Thanks for doing this tutorial based on my email request. Looks like I was doing everything the same as you, yet my results stink. At this point I’m thinking that has something to do with my original shots – will try again the next time I have an opportunity to use HDR.
Once again, thanks for putting this together.
Sean,
Know problem at all. HDR Processing is hit or miss a lot of the time. I’ve had stuff come out like total garbage before with weird color ect.. Keep practicing and I bet you will have some killer results in no time!!

your videoes are very informative and are presented at a good pace as well–i have to ask as I just went to cs5 from Aperture–why would i want lightroom–just asking as i just figured out the workflow in cs5–i have to admit, it is amazing how much more you can accomplish with cs5–I have been using Photomatix as well, but do not like too cartoonish of results–I shoot alot of cars and waterscapes in HDR and have enjoyed Thank you Bob Sager
Thanks very much for your comments Bob
I’m pretty sure your asking why Lightroom over adobe bridge? Or do you still use aperture? Aperture like iPhoto is a database driven program unlike Adobe Bridge. Aperture and Lightroom are very similar in that regard, although Lightroom is way faster on my Mac last time I tried.
The Database driven photo organizing solutions have several advantages over a non-database driven system like Adobe Bridge for example. This video below will explain more in depth about the differences

Jay:
I have aprox 10,000 images in my Aperture Library–Although they made great changes in the last edition, i.e. noise reduction, curves etc, it is nowhere near as powerful as Photoshop, the content aware and gosting are simply amazing–It appears that Lightroom would be a very good match for Photoshop cs5, once i move all the raw files etc to light room–as far as I know, there is no dirct link with Aperture and Photoshop as there is with Lightroom, or have you used it that way?–By the way, I agree that Aperture is a little slow–thanx for the input Bob Sager Fort Myers, FL/Higgins Lake MI
Lightroom and CS5 go hand and hand together and when streamlined can be a super fast workflow for a variety of projects!! I’m sure you can launch to Photoshop directly from aperture, but I can’t remember how to do it. Usually you need to set up an external editor int he preferences somewhere. If I were you I would look into a tutorial on migrating from aperture to Lightroom. I bet you will find some good tips on how to save your key words ect…. Basically you need to write the xmp data for each raw file to a sidecar file, the when you import it to lightroom the keywords and raw file changes should come along for the ride
But I’m not sure how to do it in aperture.
Here’s 1 thread I found doing a quick search:
