Editing is the skill that stands between most student's decent photography capabilities and their creation of awe-inspiring images. Adobe Lightroom works in tandem with Photoshop to allow non-destructive edits and photo collection organization. A hands-on workshop through Adobe Lightroom... uniquely from a photographer's perspective. This industry-changing software improves editing efficiency, overhauls photo organization and provides a professional presentation platform for interactions with clients.
The focus of this introductory class is workflow: beginning with camera file formats, downloading, sorting & organizing, editing/developing & finally printing. Lightroom is a groundbreaking software that allows you to sort through many images to find the best ones, then make "batch edits" or quick fixes to get the image ready for Photoshop or print.

"I am a brand new lightroom user, so I had virtually no experience with the program. I left the course with an exellent grasp of fundamentals and am looking forward to using the knowledge I gained to better organize and enhance my photographic work. The instructor was enthusiastic and excellent. I highly recommend the course to folks who are new to lightroom. -Recent Student
