Once again we’re bringing our Lightroom workshop to the Bay Area!

Lightroom is still the most popular image-editing software, and for good reason. It combines the world’s most sophisticated and powerful raw-image processing engine with great organizing tools.

This intensive, hands-on, two-and-a-half-day, classroom-style workshop will help you master Lightroom’s basics, and take full advantage of Lightroom’s most sophisticated features. You’ll learn, step-by-step, how to process images from beginning to end. You’ll learn how to use all of Lightroom’s tools, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, in easy-to-understand, hands-on lessons. Most importantly, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to make decisions along the way that convey your original vision for the photograph.

Here’s a partial list of the topics covered:
– Importing images into Lightroom, and avoiding common pitfalls
– Editing and keywording
– Raw image workflow
– Finding the perfect white balance
– Balancing contrast with Lightroom’s Highlights and Shadows tools
– Mastering curves
– Dodging and burning with the Adjustment Brush
– Sharpening and noise reduction – making large prints from small cameras
– Converting to black and white
– Automation – syncing adjustments across multiple images
– Blending exposures with Lightroom’s HDR Merge and Panorama Merge
– Exporting
– Printing basics

Students should have some familiarity with Lightroom. You’ll need to bring your own laptop for this class.
