Introduction to Adobe Lightroom

Retouch your images to achieve the picture you’d envisioned, while also learning how to streamline your digital workflow. 

What's Covered

Covid-19 Notice: At GPP we’re committed to keeping you, our students, our teachers and our colleagues safe. Following the government’s latest guidelines, we want to share with you our combined efforts to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience when you visit our space or take a workshop - Check out the blog here for more information on social distancing in workshops.

 

Adobe Lightroom Classic can be a photographer’s best friend when understood and used properly. By taking charge of Lightroom’s catalogue system and simplifying your editing process, you’ll ultimately spend less time sitting and more time shooting! At the end of the course, editing will be a pleasure rather than a chore, and your photo library will finally have order.

  • Using Lightroom’s sophisticated cataloguing functionality to simplify your photo library
  • Navigating the Lightroom interface through importing, organizing, developing and exporting
  • Creating collections, applying keywords & metadata
  • Correcting white balance, color, histograms
  • Adjustment brushes, spot healing and cloning

Note: The content in this workshop is based on the most current version of Lightroom Classic CC (Not "Lightroom"). You must use the most recent edition of Lightroom Classic CC. Older versions of Lightroom Classic will lack certain features reviewed in this workshop.
