Enhance your "keepers" and be able to find them later!
You've just returned home after an amazing trip abroad (or from your favorite local beach dive), and you've captured some "keepers." Awesome! For many of us underwater photographers, we can't wait to share, publish, or print our creations. Here I will walk you through the five basic steps I take after uploading my photos to my image editing software of choice, Lightroom. Many of these steps also apply to programs like Aperture, but for the purposes of this article I will focus on Lightroom 4.

Great tips on how to improve your final underwater images

Great tips on how to improve your final underwater images
We all try our best to get clean images that are free of backscatter using strobe positioning and proper buoyancy techniques. But, let's face it, all of us are plagued with unwanted objects in our images from time to time. Sometimes it is just a few specks of particles floating in the water column, but often it is much worse than that.

Who and why you should use Lightroom

Who and why you should use Lightroom
Whether you are a seasoned pro or just picked up your first camera it doesn’t take long before all of us get overwhelmed by the volume of images we produce. So how do we stay organized? What is the most efficient way to process our images and how can we deliver our images for web, print, email and more? Well up until a couple of years ago it wasn’t easy. I myself was using a variety of different programs to achieve what I can now do with just Adobe Lightroom. So what is Lightroom?
