A Pragmatic Approach To Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (Beginning – Advanced):

Learn how to use Photoshop Lightroom to manage your images -- with Chuck Behrman

In this tutorial CD, Chuck Behrman will teach you, through live, real-time demonstrations, many techniques for using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to manage, adjust, show and print your images.

Lightroom is a fairly new program that has many of the functions of The Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements). It is a program that is designed for the photographer and works like a photographer works from the time you have captured your images through preparing the presentation of the photographs.

The Lightroom CD will show you how to import images from your digital camera, identify, rate and rank the images, and correct color and exposure for individual and groups of images. We’ll see how Lightroom also can enable the you to explore and create different versions of an image without using a lot of valuable hard drive space.

Since Lightroom is based on the newest versions of Camera Raw, the CD will teach you how to increase the “Clarity” (a new processing function) and how to visually sharpen your images.

Did I mention that you’ll learn how to remove sensor dust on multiple images at one time using Lightroom?

Once you get your images to a point that they are presentable, what can Lightroom do? Well, the CD will also address how to make a slide show in Lightroom. Then we’ll talk about printing, how to use Lightroom’s built-in print templates to print single or multiple images on a sheet of paper and how to create your own templates, even printing your signature on your images.

If that’s not enough, we’ll also address how to use Lightroom to prepare and publish a web gallery (html or flash) from within the program.

With all that capability, can you throw away Photoshop or Elements? No... we’ll also talk about when you need to use one of the mainstream image editors.
