Framing in Lightroom

If you like to put a frame around your images I got the perfect export plug-in for you. Its called Lightroom Mogrify, and its made by Timothy Armes from Photographers Toolbox, and you can click “HERE” to download the plug-in for Lightroom. He also has a bunch of other plug-ins that are pretty cool. So be sure to look at those while your there. Anyways you install the plug-in like any other. If you don’t know how to do that please read my Lightroom plug-in post, it will show you how “HERE”.

Here is a screen shot of what the plug-in looks like in your exporter. You can add up to five borders but just keep in mind that the borders are going to add to your image size. As you can see below that what happened to my photos below I told them to all export at 610 px tall and they did but the borders added up on the edges making it bigger.

So as you can see there are a bunch of combination’s you can achieve with this plug-in without ever having to go into Photoshop and doing it manually or with an action. So if you like putting frames around your image complex or not I hoped this helps you do it faster.

Baking Environmental Still-Life

This is my environmental still-life shot for school. This isn’t something I would normally shoot. You may ask why would I do that? Well for one reason I like to challenge my self with something random. Second, because you never know why you might have to shoot for a client. Your not always going to get to shoot what you want to shoot, but you still have to make it look good. So that’s why I decided to make this photograph.
