We’re proud to announce our second Lightroom 2 video is now available! This time we’ve focused on the graduated filter. We’ve assembled a collection of advanced tips to encourage you to get the most out of this tool. Pictured here is a photo out of the video that shows (when compared with the photo on the right) the subtle but amazing corrections you can achieve with the graduated filter in Lightroom 2.

We’re pleased with the look of our latest video and look forward to producing many more. So sit back and relax and enjoy the show.

Editorial Comment: We are looking for feedback from you! We receive so few comments that we can only wonder if we’re providing useful content. We see the number of people who watched our last video or downloaded our recent presets but no feedback! So take a moment and share your thoughts with us.

Thanks for your Lightroom resources! I just stumbled upon your site last night and look forward to getting better acquainted. I teach a class on LR locally and look forward to seeing if I can reference your site for my students. Sorry to ask what must be an obvious question but I’d like to see the advanced gradient filter video, and the right side of the video is cut off by the right pane that starts at the top with “Stay Informed”. Even in full screen part of the video is cut off. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! –Dilip

Hi Dilip,

Thanks for visiting. This site is designed primarily for people who have a desktop configured for at least 1280 pixels wide. The site is viewable in a 1024px wide configuration but will have some content flowing into the right sidebar as you described. If your system cannot support a higher resolution desktop I can create a link for you to D/L the video.

Let me know.

Cheers, Markus

Possibility to download them directly and in several formats is great touch of professionalism from you part. Thank you for the time you spend.

Thanks so much for this video… it was very helpful and added even more to my arensenal of knowledge.. lol. Would like to see a video tutorial on creating some of my own presets using your wonderful beauty set.. not quite understanding how to go about it.

Thanks again, keep up the great work!

Hi Angel,
Have you had a look at the dramatic sky video? In it you will see a typical example of the usage of the Focus Beauty presets (since the dramatic sky preset was developed using the core Beauty preset).
Cheers, Markus
