The first of my Adobe Lightroom Traveling Roadshow seminars is coming to Anaheim, CA on Saturday, February 28, 2009. It’s an opportunity to spend a day immersed in the program that will change the way you do image management and post-processing.
The day starts at 9:00 AM, and wraps at 4:00 PM. The agenda includes:
Configuring Lightroom / Getting your Images from Camera to Computer
We’ll start the day off with a live portrait shoot, and work with those images throughout the rest of the seminar. We’ll learn how to setup Lightroom’s preferences and workspace for optimum efficiency. Learn how to import images from your camera’s memory card to your computer and into Lightroom, adding keywords, organization, file naming, and more. We’ll explore Lightroom’s modules for organizing, selecting, reviewing your images. This is where it all begins.
Image Editing: Where the Magic Happens
Organization and management is a key feature of Lightroom. But the magic really happens in Lightroom’s Develop module. It’s a complete digital darkroom on your desktop! Learn what the various develop adjustments do and how to use them to enhance or repair images. Learn how to create develop presets or use those that you’ve found online as a starting point for image editing.
Lightroom and Photoshop: Working Together for a Complete Imaging Workflow
You may never need to leave Lightroom for your image editing needs. However, for those occasions that call for a little help from Photoshop, it’s good to know how the two applications work together to produce spectacular results. We’ll spend some time moving back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop to show you how the two programs integrate seamlessly to speed your workflow and image editing process.
Presenting Your Images: Slideshows and Web Galleries the Lightroom Way
After you’ve processed your images, you’re going to want to share them. Lightroom offers a bunch of ways to do it, and they’re super slick! Slideshows that you can export as PDF files; Flash-based or HTML web galleries that you can upload to your website or burn to CD. It’s all easy with Lightroom.
Print: The Final Word
While most of our images are destined for some type of electronic display, there are times that call for a print. After all, you can’t hang a JPG on your living room wall! In this session, we’ll explore Lightroom’s color management, print templates, and some of the magic of getting images out of your computer and onto paper.
