INTRO TO EDITING: LIGHTROOM & PHOTOSHOP

CONNECTICUT · ALL AGES

Learn to bring out the very best in your photographs.

An intensive hands-on workshop unpacking two essential tools of digital photography.

You’ll gain practical experience, working with your own images as we explore the vast power of these two workhorse programs.

Lightroom Classic allows us to work with RAW images and offers extensive organizational abilities for efficient optimization and workflow. It also has a robust arsenal of editing tools.

Photoshop goes further, with precise adjustments like levels, curves and color balance; retouching tools such as the clone stamp and healing brush; and fine-tuning with layers and masks.

Then we’ll integrate the two programs to get the most out of what they each have to offer.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • LR: Importing and organizing your photos
  • LR: Library and Develop modules
  • LR: Exporting for web and print
  • PS: Essential editing tools and panels
  • PS: Layers, masks and actions
  • LR + PS: Moving between the two
