CHAPTER 6
more ways to tweak your images
This all used to be one giant chapter, but
Adobe keeps adding new Develop module
features in every version of Lightroom, and
I realized that keeping it as one humongous
chapter wasn't doing anybody any good, so
I split it into two distinct chapters, with the
most essential stuff in the first chapter, and
everything else in this chapter. Now, I don't
want you to think for one instant that the
techniques in this chapter are not essential,
just because they are, in fact, not essential,
but there comes a time in every man's life
when he needs to grow. We (as men) do this
by taking a simple adjective and adding the
letters “DJ” in front of it because, for some
reason yet to be scientifically disproven, it
attracts women faster than wearing a neck-
lace made of hundred dollar bills. Seriously,
try it yourself: Pick any adjective (like “shy”)
and you become “DJ Shy,” and women will
literally pass out when you enter the room.
And forget about using touch/taste adjectives
like “hot,” “icy,” “fresh,” “delicious,” and so on.
Add DJ in front of any of those, and you'll
never be alone again. So, you have to imag-
ine the guy that chose DJ Develop has to be
a Lightroom user, and was trying to attract
female photographers with his song “Banoodles”
(available on iTunes for 99¢. I listened to the
90-second preview and it gave me suicidal
thoughts). Anyway, I did a little digging and
found out that there's a female equivalent
to the prefix “DJ” that will cause any man
to follow you anywhere, including a wedding
chapel. That prefix is “HDTV.” However, instead
of using adjectives, add HDTV before the first
name of any of the Spice Girls (i.e. HDTV
Sporty or HDTV Baby), and you'll be married
before sundown. It's a proven fact.
