Lightroom Secrets Revealed
Lightroom Secrets Revealed
[seminar-dates description="Sun 12th Feb 2012, 10.00 am-4.00 pm"]Lightroom is one of the most intuitive programs for photographers to (i) import captured images, (ii) set up a Data Asset Management workflow (no more lost images), (iii) work on RAW and other image files to undertake global and local enhancements and (iv) export files for final adjustments (if required) into Photoshop. You will learn how to master all these steps.
One of the desirable elements of Lightroom is that it works with tiny thumbnails of your RAW and Tiff files without touching your originals and you can have several different virtual versions of your images with no pixels being harmed or your hard drives clogged up with large image files. The ability to file, catalogue and search for images is worth the price of the software alone.
This seminar will release the awesome power of this amazing program and you will probably find you are spending less time in Photoshop as a result. The seminar will focus mainly on the library and develop modules in Lightroom as photographers will be concentrating most of their time on these.
