Editing your images is an indispensable part of your photography as an art. With the advancements in software such as Lightroom you no longer need to be a Photoshop expert in order to get the most out of your images.
Join Dimitry for a six (6) online sessions (2-2.5hr each) as we will go through the capabilities in Lightroom. I will guide you through the basics of cataloging and organizing your images, explain what the different sliders do, and teach you how to use basic and advanced masking techniques for precise control. One session of the class will be devoted to specialty uses of Photoshop, such as focus stacking, creating the Orton effect, and some creative exposure blending. Last session of the class will be devoted to editing your images from start to finish.
Sessions will be recorded and available for participants together with the image files after the class.
