Light Room – Webinar (Session 1 & 2)

My Lightroom for Photographers Webinar has two goals: first, to teach you how to organise and label the hundreds of digital images that you have, and second to introduce you to the extremely intuitive and creative editing interface that Lightroom offers.
I will take a look at all aspects of the standard digital workflow: focusing on importing, organising, editing and then exporting and sharing your images.

During this 4 hour course, we’ll first develop an understanding of image formats (JPEG v. RAW) and the fundamentals of the digital image – the meaning of pixels, colour depth and similar mysteries shall be revealed.
