Are you curious about Lightroom? Have you heard it’s a great program for editing your photos? Is it on your computer and you have no clue how to use it? Or how to edit your photos?
Adobe Lightroom was developed by photographers for photographers to make organizing and editing our photos easier. It has very powerful features – even after only a weekend you will be able to make your photos look amazing. By editing your photos you can share your vision of what you photographed – not just what your camera captured.
On June 4-5, I’ll be teaching a workshop to help you get started using Lightroom. I won’t be covering every feature—if I did—we’d all be in total overwhelm and would be in my dining room for days . . .
Organize and manage your images by
- Importing your photos into Lightroom
- Adding your copyright information to all your photos
- Organizing your photos so you can find them
- Adding keywords to your photos so you can search for them
And edit your images by
- Cropping to find the photo in the photo
- Adjusting brightness and contrast to make your images pop
- Adjusting colors to make your photos look like you want them to look
- Doing global and local edits to show what you saw when you took the photo
- Exporting your photos from Lightroom for the web
- Printing your photos from Lightroom
To participate in the workshop, you’ll need
- A laptop computer
- Lightroom 6 or CC (Trial version is fine which can be downloaded for free from Adobe) installed on your computer
- A willingness to learn
Join me on June 4-5
Registration Fee $ 297

A few more details:
Meals are not included in the cost of the workshop. We’ll break for lunch and there are a number of restaurants in the area or you are welcome to bring your lunch with you and eat here at the house.
The workshop will be held at my home in Bethesda. I do have several cats – so if you are allergic to cats, please plan on taking your allergy medications in advance. We’ve never found a way to get all the cat hair and cat dander off the furniture and I’m sure my cats will come by to greet everyone..
