![]() Dodging and burning are simple tasks in lightroom using the adjustment brush. ![]() The new lens profiles and their manual controls allow for correcting lens distortions or creating dramatic effects. You will learn to achieve fantastic tone and color using simple sliders, and using the new greatly improved sharpening and noise reduction, you will think you have a new camera. You will learn to use collections, smart collections and additional metadata to make organizing your entire library fast and efficient. Learning to apply keywords and setting up a proper keyword hierarchy will save countless hours locating photos in the future and for online searches when you publish to the web. You will learn to make fast work of viewing, sorting, comparing, rating, and rejecting photos. You will configure lightroom settings, get familiar with the interface and workspace, create metadata presets to copyright your work, and learn to quickly and automatically rename files. We will start off by importing some photos into lightroom and getting everything configured properly from the start to avoid frustration later. This class is designed to give you all of the essential information to get started in a faster, more productive workflow.Ĭlass Agenda 10:00 Class Begins The Library We can then continue to add instructions and if we wish remove instructions, and never change a single pixel in our original file. The program then reads this instruction and applies it to the image on screen but not to the actual file. The other cool thing about using a database, is that instead of changing all of our pixels and then throwing away the old pixel information, Lightroom simply saves an instruction to change the pixels. This ability to sort very quickly on the entire catalog is what makes Lightroom great for organizing, or should I say finding your photos. The use of a database gives us to ability to organize our photos, (which you could do by putting them in different folders by content, or shoot, or subject, or location, or the color of the sky) and then sort them by any of many different criteria including standard metadata and IPTC information. Lightroom does not replace Photoshop or any other image editing program which lets you use layers and actually change pixels. What this gives us is a way to organize our photos and then do a great deal of sophisticated editing, all in a totally non destructive (this means you can not ruin your original image) environment. ![]() Lightroom does what it does by combining Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and a database, then tossing in a lot of “magic”. ![]() I would first like to explain how Lightroom works and what it does.
