Does Adobe Lightroom 3 have polarizer effect as Aperture 3?

I have been using A3's polarizer effect for nature and scenery photography, which is perfect. Today I tried Adobe Lightroom 3 in my office for the first time to make a comparison. To be frank, Lightroom 3's much touted noise reduction works better than A3. But I could not find the Polarizer readjustment function in Lightroom 3 to enrich the blue sky.
I may be wrong as Lightroom boasts being more professional than A3. I know there are many shutterbugs who use both A3 and Lightroom 3. Does anyone know the answer?

OK, I have posted the question to the Adobe Lightroom forum and carefully avoided mentioning Aperture 3, but have not got an answer yet. So I did some more research.

[Polarize that sky (without a polarizer)]
I have found another solution. But to me, it's still confusing and a little complicated.
It is explained like the following:
" For the polarized effect, I scroll down panel to color adjustments, choose HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance), and click on luminance. I then click on the round circle thing in the upper left of the color box, move it into the blue sky area, hold down the left mouse button and pull downward. This reduces the brightness of the blues, and the sky goes dark as if polarized. I stop at -70, a big reduction (image 3). The white mountains now glisten against the deep blue. I could also have used the blue slider, but the spot selection tool I did use is a handy instrument.For the polarized effect, I scroll down panel to color adjustments, choose HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance), and click on luminance.

Luminance blue brightness reduced to -70 by dragging any blue color down with the button (or use the blue slider), simulating polarizer. "

  • Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool?

    Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool, or do I have to buy a version to get this feature? What is the least expensive version that offers this feature? My goal to have PDF version text documents that can be read by a text to speech application, like EZ PDF Reader.

    Definitely not in Reader. I believe (though cannot personally confirm) that Acrobat Standard has it.
    Bear in mind that you need good quality originals, well scanned, to get any kind of decent result. Computers are way worse at this than humans.
    Bear in mind too that Recognise Text is only applicable to scanned documents NOT those made from Word or whatever. So if you are making the documents, it is rarely relevant.

  • Does pricing type have any effect in Delivery to billing copy controls

    Hi,
    Does pricing have any effect on delivery to billing copy controls, for example pricing type, since there is no pricing related data in delivery.
    iF the billing is maintained as delivery related billing, will pricing type has any effect.
    Thanks
    Keshi

    Yaa, It is a good question.
    If the billing is maintained as delivery related, its all about the qty of the material to be billed after delivery. (setting maintained at VOV7).
    Even though the delivery doesnt have any pricing relevant data, the pricing type has an important effect.
    Of course it is maintained at delivery to billing copy control, but u have to see where u are finding the pricing type field. It is in the copy control item level for TAN. So it is not relevant to the delivery transaction any more, it is relevant to the item category only.
    So the conclusion here is if the item category is relevant for billing transaction, after delivering the item, how the pricing is carried out during the billing (whether the same pricing or diff. pricing). This is explained by the pricing type field.
    Hope i answers ur query. if u have any further queries, please post.
    Do reward points if it is useful.

  • Does installing lion have an effect microsoft office software installed?

    Im thinking of installing lion onto my macbook pro.
    WIll it have an effect on the microsoft office software that i have installed?
    Regards
    Angelo

    Depends on what version of Office you have installed.
    2004 won't work at all.
    2008 and 2011 will work fine.
    Some people have a PowerPC based installer for 2008. If that is your case, then you can install Lion and everything will continue to work, but if you have to reinstall office for some reason, it won't work.

  • Does Adobe Lightroom 3 have polarizer effect?

    I am looking for the Polarizer readjustment function in Lightroom 3 to enrich the blue sky.
    http://photofocus.com/2010/02/22/better-skies-with-lightrooms-graduated-filter/
    (Better Skies with Lightroom’s Graduated Filter)
    I read the above article. I may be slow to learn, but I really find the steps in Lightroom's Graduated Filter to achieve the blue sky effect confusing,especially for an amateur like me.
    The instructions in the article are "jump to the Graduated Filter. This will reveal the Graduated Filter settings below the histogram... Optional: To add more color to the sky, click the color swatch and choose a Hue and Saturation level that you find works with your photo. For blue skies, set the Hue to 240 as a starting point and increase Saturation from zero to gradually add color. Tweak the Hue value to taste."
    After reading it carefully, I still could not do it. Would anyway offer a one-stop straightforward solution?

  • Does adobe lightroom open nikon d7100 raw images?

    Does anyone know if any lightroom products can open nikon d7100 raw/nef images?

    Perhaps your confusion stems from the fact that there are a couple of different lists maintained by Adobe which need to be cross-checked against each other.
    List 1
    Starting at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    the Nikon D7100 has been supported since Camera Raw 7.4 and Lightroom 4.4.
    So Lightroom 4.4 and later versions support it.
    List 2
    However, according to this list http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 7.4 is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    So CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7: therefore CS5 will never be able to open D7100 Raw files. You'd have to use the DNG converter first then use CS5.
    So your choices:
    Buy Lightroom 5
    Upgrade CS5 to CS6
    Join the Cloud or the Photoshop Photography Program
    Or stay with CS5. Convert the D7100 Raw files to DNGs using the free DNG converter. Then open the DNGs in CS5.

  • VDBench50403rc1 does item 8 have any effect on heartbeat time out errors

    In the past you have intimated that heartbeat timeouts could be caused by socket traffic, does item 8 of the bug list or the new SlaveSocket.class help out with this problem.

    The SlaveSocket update I sent out for 50402 ONLY moved the 'slow socket' message from the console to the logfile, that was mainly a cosmetic change.
    The Vdbench Master sends a heartbeat message to each slave every 45 (3*60/4) seconds.
    If the master does not hear back within three minutes he'll time out.
    The same for a slave. If he has not received a heartbeat message for 3 minutes he'll also time out.
    Could it be that socket traffic gets so far behind that we get to the timeout? Possible.
    If however the Vdbench reporting has come to a complete halt it means that no socket traffic is happening at all, so that for me is no indication that we're running behind, we've just lost contact with the slaves.
    For me most heartbeat timeouts are related to system overload: just yesterday I had a case here where four independent Vdbench tests were all filling up file system cache and with that system memory. After that the OS was thrashing full time looking for free memory and no real work, including socket traffic, was done.
    In your case I would suggest you give 50403rc1 a try and see what happens.

  • Does Adobe Air have an Error logging console?

    I have an issue with a specific AIR program that was working but now it's not. I went ahead and reinstalled my version of Air and when I launched the program it is just freezing, works for about 2 seconds. This AIR application uses login info to pass over an API and I'm wondering if it's possible that the data is corrupted causing the AIR program to freeze. Uninstalling and reinstalling has no effect and I've been looking to see if the AIR application uses a seperate folder to store the configuration. Could someone provide to me the filepath of the AIR profiles, or if it's possible to enable an error console for AIR, I'm not seeing anything in the event logs of any worth.
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Does Adobe even have support for subscribers?

    I have AfterEffects CC and after effects takes 3-5 mins to launch after double-clicking the icon.
    Constantly "connecting to dynamic link server" in Media Encoder.
    Exporting from AfterEffects to Media Encoder either takes 10 mins  and sometimes the project still won't show up in the ME queue, or ME doesn't open.
    These issues have been going on for better part of a year.  No updates have resolved the problems.
    What is a paying customer supposed to do?  Really, I mean professionals all over the world use these products and can't get support?  The online chat is not available despite the fact that chat hours are advertised.  and the 800# to call them is missing the last digit!  1-800-xxx-xxx  instead of 1-800-xxx-xxxX.

  • Does Adobe platform have caption capability

    I often use adobe with co-workers but the modules neve have caption which is a problem for me. I have to work twice as hard to understand what is being said. I think most modules and video these days do have caption so I was wondering how to teach co-workers to use that capability when they do video modules for work.

    The video modules for what? Are you referring to video training or some sort of captioning while you're using an application?

  • Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
    Basically I think it needs to
    detect what word is presented under the cursor
    look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
    pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
    It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
    Do you think there is such plug-in?
    Many thanks for your help/advice here.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
