BUILDING ON THE PREVIOUS INTRODUCTION TO LIGHTROOM WORKSHOPS, Greg Disch will lead this ADVANCED LEVEL WORKSHOP to expand our skills in ADOBE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC. This training will cover latest updates in LIGHTROOM, editing capabilities that you might not know you can do in LIGHTROOM, and just more in depth learning of the software! NOTE that this is not a beginner level class.

ALONG WITH NEW FEATURES COME A NEW LEARNING CURVE. LIGHTROOM has seen some amazing new features and has brought AI (Artificial Intelligence) to masking, making complex selections and edits automatic and adding greater control over your processing.

The new masking panel incorporates the old Adjustment Brush, Linear Gradient, Radial Gradient, Color Range, Luminance Range and with some cameras Depth Range, with the new Select Subject and Select Sky masking tools. These masks can also be intersected, added and subtracted, and inverted to make masking more powerful than ever.

PRE-INSTALL LATEST VERSION of ADOBE LIGHTROOM onto your LAPTOP COMPUTER - be sure to bring your charger. Please note that this workshop is designed for photographers who are already familiar with Adobe Lightroom.
