I know – you’re thinking – New Year! Are you kidding – it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!

But I wanted to let you know about an event Bill and I have scheduled for Saturday January 4 at our home in Bethesda.


We know many photographers struggle with editing their photos. We have so many options for software – Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz Studio, On1, Luminar and many others. And each one has incredible tools to help you edit.

But the problem is – unless you have a vision for what you want your final photo to look like, you can spend hours making adjustments and changes to your image and still not end up with a photograph you are happy with. 

Over the years, Bill and I have developed an approach to thinking about how to edit our photos and the general order in which we do things. And we’re happy to share it with you in case it will help you approach editing your photos. And the great thing is – this approach works with whatever software package you use for editing! 

So the details for the “Do You Need Help Editing Your Photos?” afternoon are

  • Saturday January 4, 1 – 5 PM at our home in Bethesda
  • 10 participants who bring one or two unedited and/or partially edited photo files on a USB drive
  • Plan is we’ll talk a bit about how we approach editing and then show you how we would edit your photos using Lightroom, Photoshop and whatever else is on our computers in January.
  • We’ll provide coffee and tea, and ask everyone to bring a treat to share.
  • Other than that – there is no cost to attend.

If you’d like to join us on January 4, just drop me a note at Patty@Hankins.net. The first 10 people to respond will have a space at the event. I will create a waiting list if more than 10 people reply.  And if this one goes well, we’ll try to schedule similar events later in the year.
