Learn Lightroom in a day. We'll look at the 2 most powerful modules, the Library and the Develop Modules.
Learn how to use Lightroom to take charge of your digital workflow. This class is designed to make Lightroom easy to understand and put you in control of all it has to offer. It will cover your workflow from beginning to end: from importing and organizing to adjusting, sharing and exporting your images. Find out how to choose which adjustments to make, and in what order.
Following the class all attendees will receive an extensive pdf handout with 130 pages of Lightroom tips, tricks and screen shots. It'll be your post-class companion when you're back at home working in Lightroom.
Topics include:
- Adding metadata and keywords
- Organizational tools: flags, stars and labels
- Sorting and filtering images
- Using Collections and Smart Collections
- Recovering highlight and shadow detail
- Adjusting contrast, saturation and vibrance
- Fine-tuning (or completely changing) the white balance
- Applying adjustments selectively with the Adjustment Brush
- Graduated and Radial Filters
- Retouching tools
- Using the tone curve and targeted color adjustments
- Removing chromatic aberration
- Noise reduction
- Sharpening
- Processing multiple files

Please Note:
- At the class you'll bring your own laptop (desktops are fine too) loaded with LR Classic.
- We will not cover the Lightroom mobile version.
- If you haven’t already downloaded Lightroom go to the Adobe site and look for the $9.99 Photography Plan that gives you Lightroom Classic, Lightoom and Photoshop (make sure your plan includes the "Classic"). You can also download a fully functional 7 day free trial.
