Most beginners struggle in Lightroom because they move sliders without intention, hoping the image will “look right.” This workshop shows you exactly what to do and in what order, so your editing becomes clear, consistent, and repeatable every time.
In this guided, hands-on session, we’ll walk step-by-step through a practical workflow—from importing your files all the way to exporting finished images. The focus is on simplicity, speed, and control, so you can edit confidently instead of guessing.
You’ll learn:
Import & Organization – How to keep your Lightroom library clean and structured
Correct Editing Order – Cull → Global Adjustments → Local Adjustments → Export
Global Editing Technique – Setting exposure, color, and tone with intention
Local Adjustments – Dodging, burning, and refining details carefully
Batch Consistency – Keeping your style uniform across a full shoot
When to Leave it Alone – Knowing when not to edit for a stronger final image
This workshop is hands-on — you’ll be editing your own images during class using a clear workflow guide you can keep and use afterward.
