Lightroom 3

by joasia on June 10, 2010

As you probably know the Lightroom 3 is already on the market. I am a big fun of Ligthroom since the first moment it appear and of course I have got my upgrade immediately.
Looking for tutorials teaching about new features in Lightroom 3 all over the web I have found a lot of good and very good ones. But in my opinion the best one is provided by Julieanne Kost. Very informative, complete, and easy to follow /I love her way of explaining things/. It takes half an hour but believe me it is worth every minute to watch it. Here is the link to Julieanne Kost tutorial. And here you can visit her website and admire her work. She is a very talented artist.

Open editions vs Limited editions

by joasia on June 10, 2010

Subject widely discussed over the web. After researches I have found few interesting articles. The best up to now was presented by Brian Auer on his blog Epic Edits.If you are interested please have a look here. Some readers came up with their own interpretations and definitions of the term Limited Edition which I can not agree but final conclusion was : Limited Edition means that ” small set number of prints were made from the original at the same time and of the same size, implying that no further prints will be produced”. In my opinion this is quite correct I just do not believe if nowadays 100 prints are offer as a Limited Edition they are all printed at the same time.
Why am I starting this subject again? I have found a new platform where I would like to offer fine art prints of my images. The platform is called WhiteWall and WhiteWall Head Office is based in Germany. “WhiteWall was created by Stefanie Harig and Marc Ullrich from Berlin. In 2003 they founded the first of what is now an international chain of 11 LUMAS art galleries, and breathed new life into the market by offering affordable works.” (More about their interesting products will come in the next post.) And this is what they say according to our subject: “With respect to limited editions, independently of whether these are offered on the art market or gallery page, you shall make separate assurances both to us and to end consumers that the editions offered on WhiteWall and through other platforms and/or media exist only in the quantity indicated to the end consumer as determined by you with respect to the particular size. You shall refrain from offering editions both on WhiteWall and through other media of any size 20% smaller or larger than the editions offered on WhiteWall. Accordingly, the data file shall be posted only once on WhiteWall; this shall apply also to all variations or modifications of the data file or motif as may be capable of confusion with the original.”
So as far as I understand the most important think to consider while selling today Limited Editions is the certain small number of prints /no matter of medium used/ in a certain size and no other prints can be offer of any size 20% smaller or larger than the offered edition. It sounds logically for me. Let me know what you think about it?
