Lightroom Library Mastery – LIVE w/ Jeff Carlson

Saturday, July 12 | 9:00am - 12:00pm

Lightroom is one of the best photo editing ecosystems available, but Adobe doesn’t make it easy on us. Is Lightroom Classic too complicated? Is Lightroom desktop too basic? How to choose between the two? And why upload photos to the cloud? You can maintain your entire photo library in Lightroom, making it possible to locate and edit your photos—but of course it’s not always that easy. In this class we’ll cover smart strategies for storing your images, importing, using third-party apps to avoid keywording, and more.

Jeff Carlson, the author of the book Adobe Lightroom Course and Compendium (Rocky Nook), is here to make sense of it all. We’ll walk through Lightroom workflows that respect your time and focus on creativity, so you can spend less energy on busywork and get to the fun aspects of editing.

This class will primarily focus on Lightroom Classic, which has a more robust Library module, but we’ll also cover how Lightroom desktop/Lightroom CC and the mobile Lightroom apps work with images.

Covered in this class:
* Decide which versions of Lightroom are best for you (and why that’s important for library management)
* Where and how to store your photos
* How and when to sync your photos to Creative Cloud
* Import images the smart way
* AI tools to help you organize and locate your photos
* Library management that isn’t onerous
* Albums and Smart Albums
* Finding the gems in your library

Feel free to bring a computer with Lightroom and images if you’d like to refer to them during the class, though they’re not required. Jeff will also have some photos available for download that you can work with outside of class.

Creative Photo Editing in Lightroom – LIVE w/ Jeff Carlson

Saturday, July 12 | 1:30pm - 4:30pm

After putting in the effort to go out and capture good photos, it’s time to make them great in Lightroom. But how do you go from promising image to spectacular photo in an application as complex as Lightroom? In this course we’ll cover the essentials of editing tone and color, learn how to deal with noisy photos shot at high ISOs that would previously be unusable, and explore how AI-based masking has transformed the way we edit photos in Lightroom, controlling light in ways previously reserved only for Photoshop.
