This online workshop introduces to efficient ways of improving photographs in Develop Module of Adobe Lightroom. It provides practical time-saving solutions for different types of photos, and teaches how to evaluate images in terms of contrast, color and details in relationship to the final goal, or narrative of the image. This is an extended version of the onsite workshop on developing.
The entire course on Adobe Lightroom consists of three workshops, where each of them is concentrated on one of the three steps of the photo editing workflow:
- Lightroom Online 1. Cataloging
- Lightroom Online 2. Developing (actual)
- Lightroom Online 3. Presentation
There is no limitation on your current Lightroom experience for this class, and no preliminary classes are required, although you would definitely benefit from the cataloging techniques, taught during the previous workshop.
To add more dimension to your photo editing process I also teach here about photo composition treatment, reading image histogram, creating borders, camera calibration, and other related topics. The workshop provides in-depth examples of complex photo enhancement, specific in nature, portrait, and urban photography.
This class offers quizzes and assignments to testing your new knowledge and skills. All successful attendees receive Isigma Photo course graduation certificate. Best students get the Badge of Excellence award.
