This session teaches the basic functions of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® image editing software. Lightroom® can smoothe out the rocky road of file management for our digital photography needs. Learn to use the program's intuitive features that allow us to easily convert RAW files, sort, edit and organize large numbers of digital images.

Through a vast array of easy-to-use features, Lightroom® also provides a way to exercise creative control during the crucial 'development' stage in the digital photography process. One area where Lightroom® really shines is when we want to create strong collections of photographs, while also shaping their style.

This personalized 2-hour workshop offers one-on-one coaching to learn the Lightroom® techniques. In a free consultation before your workshop, we'll explore where your interests lie and use those interests as a framework for your learning.

Topics:

  • Importing photos into Lightroom
  • Organizing your folders of images
  • The sorting and choosing process made easy
  • Cropping the efficient way
  • Adjusting white balance
  • Converting RAW files and non-destructive editing
  • Creating slideshows and Internet galleries

  • To edit, sort, crop and prepare a portfolio of digital photographs for presentation
  • The five modules of Lightroom and their functions
