Are you Fish, Wings, and Burgers—Or just FISH?

Rebel Fish knows that when you blow your knee out in a soccer game, you don’t want to go to a general doctor–you want to go to the orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knees. The guy that does nothing but knees; day in, day out, and has done it for 20 years. The guy that can point you to hundreds of successful surgeries–on knees.

The same is true in any business you might have, but _especially_ wedding photography.

A bride doesn’t want a photographer who “specializes” in parties, architecture, portraits, children, weddings, corporate, models, and animals. She wants a wedding pro. She wants the specialist who eats, breathes, and sleeps weddings.

What’s your branding look like?
Are you a specialist or a generalist?

Are you worried about turning work away? Statistics show that, by specializing, you will attract more business than you do by generalizing. Sure, you’ll scare the persnickety pet owner looking for that perfect portrait with her beloved beagle, but you’ll attract more than enough blushing brides to make up for the lost cash.

Trust Rebel Fish. Or, read the 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing. Either way, Rebel Fish don’t lie.

Sweet Lightroom Addon

Posted on December 5th, 2007 in Digital, Workflow by Rebel Fish

Our buddy, Frederick Van, hooked us up with a sweet addon for Lightroom. Slideshow Pro. Click HERE for the website.

It creates a nice slideshow that publishes directly to your website, no muss, no fuss.

The real deal
SlideShowPro for Lightroom contains the same software as our Flash component, but in a compiled form that’s editable from within Lightroom.

No Flash required
No Flash (or Flash experience for that matter) required. Everything is self-contained and ready to export locally or upload to your web site.

Real-time live preview
Change any of SlideShowPro’s 60+ parameters and preview your changes inside a real, working preview of SlideShowPro before you publish.

Savable templates
Publishing more than one slideshow with different settings? Save them as templates you can retrieve anytime to update with new content.

Build your own captions
EXIF, IPTC and file metadata available to build your own custom image titles and captions to display inline or as an image overlay in SlideShowPro.

Integrated FTP upload
Upload your slideshow directly to your web server from within Lightroom without a separate FTP client, and bookmark it for updating anytime you need to.

Quality photo publishing
Built on the industry standard backbone of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom publishes top-quality, web optimized imagery for your slideshow automatically.

Always up to date
Because the engine uses SlideShowPro, it will always be kept up to date with the very latest version available to users of the Flash component.
