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.

I have never been a big fun of HDR photography but I have to admit that looking at images by Trey Ratcliff on www.stuckincustoms.com it is a real pleasure. He is an expert and on his website I have found tutorial about Photomatix software and Topaz Adjust plug-in.  Now Topaz company  offers Topaz Fusion Express for Lightroom, Aperture and iPhoto. As I work a lot with Lightroom I decided to download 30-days free fully functional trial version. In my archive I have images from a trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia and there are still some waiting to be edited because up to now I was not happy with the results. Looks like the HDR technique will be adequate for this images allowing me to show  the colors and details like I remember them. Here is the first one from upcoming series.
