Getting started with Lightroom
Lightroom has become the easy work flow for most photographers, which includes, cataloguing, rating, developing, and exporting with ease. Photoshop has became the program for creative work with layers and returning images back to lightroom for exporting if desired.
Join Julie, Brian and Suzanne to master a program that once you have started using, you won’t go back and your images will be Wow!
Next lessons: Basic Lightroom – Wednesday, 17th July, 2019
Advanced: Wednesday 18th September, 2019
During this introductory course, we will go through the basic features of Lightroom covering importing, sorting, developing with the basic module and exporting images. You will gain practical experience by working on images and be ready to use Lightroom for your image management workflow when you get home!
Advanced Lightroom: Extend on Basics course in all facets from importing with optional presets, metadata, cataloguing. Expand on your rating, and shortcuts. We will continue through the editing/developing modules to cover all the panel with theory and practical. Finishing with exporting and creating your own watermarks and options for creating catalogues for future efficient storage and finding your images.
We have found that one full day is just too much for most people and two split days is much more user friendly, allowing participants to practise and come back ready for more. The advanced course could be suitable for people who would like to fine tune their lightroom skills with latest updates.

About Lightroom HDR:
Lightroom can now easily merge merge multiple exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR quality image while maintaining the contrast without losing detail to highlights and secrets of the shadows in a HIGH CONTRAST situation. Watumba Sunrise was a very extreme situation with highlights in the sky and darks in the foreground water.
