BEFORE

The raw image is extremely lacking in contrast and saturation, and there's a loss of detail in the highlights of the sky

Realizing Your Creative Vision

To have the most control over your photography to fully realize your artistic vision, you'll want to shoot in Raw to capture the most data possible within each digital image file.

​

Although Raw files provide far more flexibility and allow for better recovery of blown highlights, lifting of dark shadows, and perfecting of colors, there is a downside: they will be fairly dull and flat without additional work in the digital darkroom.

​

Using your own images (if you prefer), I'll show you my processing workflow in Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, focusing on any areas we identify as specific opportunities beforehand.

File Management & Organization

Perhaps the most important area to understand when using Lightroom Classic, yet frequently overlooked by new users.

​

Learn the ins and outs of importing images, creating previews, and more. From a file management standpoint we'll cover:

​

  • How to move, create, and delete folders and files

  • How to use Collections and Keywords

  • How to use Virtual Copies

  • Backing up your original files and the critical Lightroom Catalog
