Adobe Lightroom is an essential image management application that makes digital photography workflow more efficient. It facilitates editing, processing, and preparing output for slide shows, web galleries, and finished prints. This two-and-a-half day workshop provides a wealth of information on how to organize, develop, and process images with maximum efficiency so that we spend less time processing images and more time taking pictures.
Jerry begins with an introductory overview which covers database components, catalog files, preview files, the metadata structure, and the steps for setting up application preferences specific to your personal workflow requirements. Jerry shares his recommendations and strategies while participants work with a series of their own images (raw and/or JPEG files) as we practice the fundamental processes of the Lightroom workflow. Topics include digital camera setup, choosing appropriate file formats for image capture, efficiently downloading images from camera or hard drive, sorting, rating, editing, global tone and color correction, critical local corrections, input and output sharpening, presenting slideshows, and printing photographic images.
Use of Lightroom allows photographers to spend less time in front of their computers and more time behind their cameras!
