Hi Jane, for some time, Adobe provided LR, ACR and Brigde with the same work engine. So to use one or the other is a matter of taste or comfort with the environment. At the level of editing, the difference is that in LR you work on a thumbnail of the image and what you do is registered in that thumbnail and in ACR you work on the image and what you do, it is registered in an XMP file on your hard disk. At the organizational level, both LR and Brigde, work the same, image keywords, collec- tions, smart collections. The difference is that Brigde works directly on your hard drive (directories) and LR creates a virtual catalog, the first time you open it, with what you import from your hard drive. If you then move folders, delete, add etc, outside of LR, when you re-open LR the program will not know what you've done with the folders and files, if you do not tell them. So if you work with LR I recommend that all folder movements, deletion etc do it directly from your library module, so that LR always knows where everything is. In Bridge, as you directly work on the directories of the hard drive, you will always see everything, as it really is. The concept of virtual catalog of LR is what more it costs to understand my students |

Thank you for your detailed and accurate explanation of your creative process. The wealth of the human being is fundamentally based on the fact that each individual sees, feels and thinks in a different way, the more you know and learn from other people, the more you grow as a person. |

I understand that when they black out the background in the postproduction is to give the subject maximum presence,adding a lot of contrast and drama |

Hello Jane, I understand that you want more drama to your heaven. The original image should be forced in Camera Raw, working that blue sky with luminosity so that turning it black and white you can dramatize the cloud without affecting the blue of the sky. Working with layers of adjustments on your image already converted to black and white, I've given it some more drama, which I understood was what you were looking for. They are layers of selective correction working the tones separately and another one working them together. |

Hello Charles, I've been looking at your image for several days, the closed frame you've chosen gives me a bit of anguish. The black hull of the ship, with the name and the arrow, always takes me to the lower left corner of your image, and as soon as my gaze wants to overcome the rail and enter the deck of the ship to cross it, the large number of lines, in several directions and cut by the frame make me go back down to the hull of the boat |

When you go out to take pictures with friends, I always have a sun scrim, a bouncer, an umbrella and a flash. Nature does not always give us an optimal light and less in this Caribbean sun to hard |

Good morning Jane and Judith, look for the original image to refresh my memory about it (it's 2014), really this shot with a f: 10 with 24 mm, a distance of a foot or a bit more, with the depth of the field very reduced, so the mushroom further away if it is out of focus, the lighting is overhead, a large gray cover of clouds, providing a soft lighting. |

Good morning Judith, answering your question is not necessarily my preferred style, in these two images has happened that the subjects were white (horses and mushrooms) and the bottom is forest and unfocused by the open diaphragm, which led me to try with a black and white high contaste.
I use the images in the CameraRaw, (the personal ones, in the professional section I have another different workflow) Here I try to expand and remove all the tonal information, I work the colors independently, I work by zones with adjustment brush, radial and degraded if necessary and I leave them to my liking and finished. From there to PS where if something needs to be cleaned it is done very well and maybe a layer of selectable correction settings. It is also in PS where I take it to black and white, I do it with black and white adjustment layer, then it can be with adjustment layer, selective correction or degrade map, rarely carry more process. |

Good morning Peter, congratulate you for your creativity with this image. At first glance, the three points inside the sunflower caught my attention and I could not identify what it was (now I know it's a bee). Regarding the technique, I notice too much in some petals the cut you did to take them to another layer and apply the spin filter. What tool do you use to make the cut? Do you give a little blur at the edge of the selection to soften it? I see a line in the background in the upper left corner, cloned there? Is it a border that I'm left with layer overlap? |

Good morning Tracy, beautiful and creative image, at first glance I loved it. I was practically going to make a comment similar to Judith's, but since I like the soft light that comes to your face, I was going to suggest that you lower the exposure on the left side of the moon and your arms so that it does not call my sight so much. there.
Now for my professional deformation, the hot spot on your nose, product of the flash, with the patch tool soften it a little. |

Good morning Judith, I live in Dominican Republic. I think that the halo that you appreciate is more the glow of the diffused light on the white tops of the mushrooms, against such a dark background. I'm releasing a computer these days and I'm still getting my eye on it. |

Thanks for your comment Tracy, really the crop you gave to the image pleases me and gives another strength to the composition, I really like it |

Greetings Dave, thank you for your comment, the background is really the forest, on a gray and rainy day, there is no sky |

Good morning Dirk, you present an image with a dominant vanishing point and with a good conversion to black and white. The clipping and turning of the image I think gives it more dynamism and reinforce the vanishing points. Did you try to place man at various distances in the image? |

good morning Judith, you present an image with a nice composition that invites you to go through it. In the color version the contrast of the red shirt between the green and blue takes you immediately to focus the view there and then go through the rest, in black and white conversion I lose more to the subjects, since its tonal range is similar to the grass, maybe it would be interesting to convert it, to bring grass to a darker tone so that the photographers highlight something more within the immensity of the landscape. Although it is my opinion influenced by my taste in the strong contrasts in the images in black and white
Looking at the shooting data, I have a question, why do you use an ISO of 400 on an exterior in full sun? I ask you because I have seen many photographers shoot with those settings and never fully understand why upload the Iso in those situations |
