Thoughts from Gavin.
LR is toady’s super tool of photographic editing. It does most things faster than Photoshop and best of all, it’s easier to learn. Maybe you’re already using LR, but want to learn powerful new approaches. If you need more efficiency and creativity in your editing, or just want to give it a boost, then this is for you.
This is a fun but in depth workshop where new users will learn the ropes and veterans will learn new refinements and ideas. We’ll talk about everything from leveraging the power of Lightroom in your business to manipulating lights and pixels at a deeper level.
This is no power point presentation. The plan is to fill your brain up, no matter what level your at. It works because we all collaborate, share ideas and follow along. I’ll start at basics and move quickly to advanced techniques while taking on the questions and sharing ideas with all of you while you work along and try things yourself.
What you’ll need: First bring yourself. After that can simply watch, but I recommend bringing a laptop with LR installed. Even if you just have a trial version. That way you can follow along, try things for yourself and ask questions. If you have questions about the workshop feel free contact me.
