Here is my own experience with the images I first rain through Photolemur.Ī while back I visited Coalhouse Fort, let’s say an interesting area in Essex on the north coast of the Thames Estuary. This program really does deliver “pop” with zero effort. When you look at the output image you have a slider control which lets you fine tune the final image, but WOW.
With the lemur you simply drop your input images onto the program and let it do its stuff. Sometimes an early improvement needs to be revisited in the light of a later step, so you can begin to see why this takes so much time. I can achieve similar results but I have to do each one serially. If you look on the Photolemur website it explains all this in detail. For me the key features are sky tonality, exposure, tones, white balance and contrast. Photolemur intelligently adjusts 12 factors. It makes my photos pop quickly and easily. However I just can’t edit all the pictures I take in this way, I just don’t have the time.Įnter the lemur. I’ve been doing this ever since I got a digital camera so I’ve invested a lot of time and frustration in getting to this point. I quite enjoy it and I normally feel the final “popped” photo is worth it. Those I decide are worthwhile I’ll happily spend time on, minimum 15 minutes often much longer. As it takes so long to improve each image I just look at them as they come out of the camera and decide which frames are worth effort, which get relegated to my category of nothing shots. Typically what I do is take photos (in RAW format) then load those into my editing program – at he moment Apple’s Aperture. If your chosen software is Photoshop it also takes a fair bit of cash. I can get photos I take to pop – but it takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention specialist software. You know a photo that “pops” when you see it – the sky is more vivd and has more interest, the colours are lively, the shadows are as dark as you want. You know what I mean, those photos we see in magazines and on the web seem to have something that we don’t get out of the camera. Of course I find myself talking to people who are keen snappers and one of the most often asked questions is “Why don’t my photos pop?” My interest in photography pre-dates our photo scanning business, but 15+ years of looking at other peoples photos, slides and negatives has increased my own efforts with a camera.
