Well I got bogged down on designing and posting Lightroom pre-sets so I am going to catch up later this month with several at one time. Look for that posting. The reason I got behind is I have been transitioning to Lightroom 2.0. What a great upgrade!
The ability to do gradient filters is very useful for me. We use bounce flash quite a bit and the directional light is great but the exposure can vary quite a bit across the frame if the wall you are bouncing against is close. With the new gradient filter in LR 2.0 and exposure adjustment I can tone down the differential.
I also find the brush feature really easy to use due to its auto-masking and have had great success with dodging and burning with it.
All in all I was somewhat reluctant to pay the $99 for an upgrade (I am growing weary of all the upgrades costs on software and all the time learning new software) but LR 2.0 is worth it. Plus, the learning curve is super simple with the new features!
