TPG Elemental adds Photoshop Elements 10 support and more

Posted on October 15, 2011 by mdawson

There is something to benefit existing and potential users alike with the latest update to the TPG Elemental plugin. New users will find support for the recently released Photoshop Elements 10, and tailored help and recommendations for resolving potential compatiblity issues between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements. Existing users will notice the ability to control the bit depth used when opening images, more consistent application of Lightroom’s develop settings in Photoshop Elements, and users lucky enough to be running Lightroom 3 no longer need to manually save images before using Elemental!

The upgrade is free to registered users, and we’ve reworked the web site (and Lightroom’s Help menu) to explain all of the new features. Enjoy!

Need to time your shoot? Perfect Timers could be the solution

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Photographer's Toolbox


Ever needed to time a shoot?  If you’ve got your iPad at hand then Perfect Timers could be the ideal solution.

Okay, we’ll admit that the link to photographic tools may be tenuous, but Perfect Timers is the first iOS application from our most prolific Lightroom-plugin developer, Timothy Armes, and we’re only too happy to give him some coverage!

Besides, it really is nice app….

Tim was frustrated when looking for a good timer app for his iPad – the applications he found were either lacking in the functionality he needed (multiple timers, overrun timing and the ability to easily add minutes to a running count down) or else unbearably ugly. Eventually Tim took it upon him self to help all those timer-less iPad-owning aesthetically-demanding souls out there, and thus Perfect Timers was born!

Need an invoice?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Photographer's Toolbox

We occasionally get requests for invoices for the plugins that you buy (or donate towards).  Last week silently introduced the ability to get your invoice delivered to you automatically.

Fortunately we hadn’t made a big song and dance about this, because unfortunately we had an error in the generator that meant that the invoices had the wrong invoice number.

If you had downloaded an invoice before today then please download it again.  We’re really sorry about this inconvenience.

LR/Blog – Now you can post directly to your NextGEN gallery

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Photographer's Toolbox

Many of you use LR/Blog to post your images directly to your WordPress blog and today we’re excited to announce that we’ve taken the plugin even further by adding support the excellent NextGEN Gallery for WordPress.

NextGEN Gallery gives WordPress users much greater flexibility when presenting images on a blog.  Thanks to the new integration with LR/Blog you can now upload your images directly to a new or existing gallery, and then create a post that will directly insert the images into the post.

We’d love to hear your feedback on this new feature and also any other requests you have for LR/Blog.

Impact gets Captions

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Photographer's Toolbox

With Impact WSPP you’ve been able to add captions to your web site for a while now, and we promised that this feature would be added to the standard version of Impact too.

We’ve finally had a change to make good on that promise; version 1.70 of Impact offers the same annotation feature as Impact WSPP.

Have fun with it!

List View plug-in

Posted on June 28, 2011 by John Beardsworth

ListView is a plug-in for Lightroom 3 that displays images in a list style just like in most other DAM (digital asset management) programs. Sometimes it’s a lot easier to review your metadata entry in a list than by scanning through a grid of thumbnails.

Other things you can do with List View:

  • Change the information in any column
  • Save columns as presets
  • Sort by any column
  • Export metadata to a browser
  • Export metadata directly to Excel
  • Edit metadata in a File Info panel
