I love these! Do you have anything similar for those of us who shoot jpeg?

I actually think that Lightroom might utilize xmp files afterall!

Hi Sandra!

Basically xmp files are recipes that you apply to RAW files. In Bridge, you can apply one xmp file to many RAW images to batch process them. In other words, if you wanted 15 images to be black and white, you could select all 15, right-click (or hold the control key while you click) and choose one of the black & white xmp options from the pull-down menu. All images selected would then turn black & white. When you run the image processor in PhotoShop this is how your jpegs will look. You can later change your mind and choose another xmp file over the same RAW image and make it look totally different! You can still use actions once the file is a jpeg to further tweak it!

I will also email this info directly to you so that you can ask me any questions you may have.

Hi, I have lightroom but not using it yet. I use ACR its what I am comfortable with. But I don’t really know how you are doing this if you have time can you explain?
Is it the settings or conversions that can be done to raw.

what a great idea Jules!!
I don’t have PSCS2 because I have lightroom but wish I did so that I could buy this! I wish I could batch like this in Lightroom!

Although I’m no a photgrapher at times I wish I were, it is the coolest job ever! I love all the fun things you can do with just one picture. Your photography is amazing, and I love to see the new things you come up with. It was fun seeing our wedding pics in there too!
