Here is a technique, inspired by a question from Jenny, for making your portraits look high-key even if you didn’t shoot them that way originally.... 
Oh my gosh – this is FANTASTIC! You didn’t sacrifice clarity at all, or color. I only have lightroom at this point (no photoshop) but I want to try it. Thanks for doing this! 
great tutorial, thanks…  Amazing Shot in the Dark ~ Night Photography Amazing Shot in the Dark ~ Night Photography Recently while attending a campout, I had the opportunity to capture an image of an 1839 Mountain Howitzer firing in the dark. There was one shot and only one chance to capture the image. Using my Night Photography knowledge,... by Kent Weakley show 8 comments 
AMAZING! I’ll bet that shot made your day! 
It did! I was completely surprised that it turned out that well. 
Amazing shot!!! 
Amazing shot – well done, Kent! 
I tell everyone I know with a camera to take the Night Photo class 
This is fantastic. I love the story, and thanks for tips regarding how to improvise a night shot without a tripod handy. Your end result was fabulous. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your experience and lessons through this video. 
Good day Ken A friend from a wedding i did last year asked me if i could put her 618 images from her wedding onto a site so she can show her friends & family that she can link them up to view her wedding thumbnails- i am going to sign up to Flickr & upload the images for Private viewing Thanks for sharing the knowledge Blessings & Respect Will
Hi William, In Lightroom goto File > Export > and you will get a list of choices. In the list you can constant the file size to a maximum for both the vertical and horizontal sizes. Also in this list, you can add a watermark here as part of the export process and not have to load the images into Photoshop. Secret – test run an image or two to see if it turns out the way you’d like before running the whole folder of 600+ images. by Kent Weakley show 11 comments 
Beautiful! Reminds me of home (Maine). 
beautiful photo, Kent. Again! ; ) 
Wonderful clarity and colors.
Kent, where was this taken? We were in Maine on vacation this summer, and it looks familiar.
This is the Nubble Light in York, Maine. It’s beauty!
So I found 6 hidden watermarks besides the main one in the corner. But still waiting for one to reflect in the water.
Wow!! Love this! 
Beautiful! I love Nubble Light! It’s one of the prettiest spots in Maine and there is an ice cream place nearby, LOL.
Where’s Waldo?
Ice cream and Lighthouses, hm? Sounds like a book title
I thought that looked like Maine’s coastline! I grew up in the Downeast region of Maine, so I’m more familiar with West Quoddy and Bass Harbor lighthouses.

Thanks! This will come in handy with Darcy’s party if I decide to go for it.
If you decide??? You’re already signed up. lol 
I’ve always wanted to know how this was done! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Please share some images with us.
Well, when I commented I hadn’t decided yet!! The first star stencil I used didn’t work at all. Would it be because it was off center or too large? I was getting half of the star which looked like a leaf.
Yes, it needs to be centered and the size matters. If it’s too big the full shape won’t render. It does take some trial and error. 
I am definatly going to try this. I love shooting shallow depth of fields to highlight subjects. Thanks for this tip
