Have you struggled to get organized? Thought that you could find images quickly only to learn that you need to spend 20-30 minutes to locate an image? I will show you how to get organized, how to grade and reduce your image volume to only those images you will ever use.
Then I will show you how to edit at an expert level, using all the power of Lightroom to maximize your images. Including all the new masking functions and selection functions. There simply is no better way to edit images and manage them at the same time. Do I still use Photoshop? Of course I do, but I will say that all of my images go through Lightroom adjustments first.
This class will take you to the next level in photographic editing not simply show you how to use Lightroom.
Class Review
As an almost 80-year-old retired catholic priest, I was not sure I could pay attention for the three-hour Classes (one each week for 5 weeks) that Doug Hansgate would use to upgrade 10 participants’ abilities to advance their skills in using the recently upgraded Lightroom Classic’s possibilities. In fact, during the fourth session, I doubted whether I had taken in enough information and had serious thoughts of not completing the course. Shortly after that doubt I turned on my computer, opened Lightroom Classic and in a very short time, I was squealing with excitement and delight when I realized that I was now able to edit photos using some of the skills that Doug taught us during the classes and precisely the ones that I have longed to use. I highly recommend taking his Lightroom Classes Course and frankly I can’t wait to take the Adobe Photoshop Course that he will offer soon. Rev. Gerald Burns
Doug, thanks for the excellent 5 week program. It was an excellent complement to the Photo Guild --where one is more free-wheeling and the other more disciplined and structured. Together, they have advance my technical and creative skills immensely. Bob
I wanted to thank you for the excellent presentation last night, and I am happy that I am doing this course with you. Your LRC Library discussion last night was amazing and answered some questions and raised many more. I think the sign of a good presentation. Dr. Foster
Over some years, I've muddled through Lightroom, cataloguing, editing and enhancing photos as I could while reading articles and watching videos on topics as needed. There was never time to complete a series but I was at least comfortable that my photos were safely stored for further attention in the future. In Doug Hansgate's Lightroom Workshop, I discovered that although I was somewhat on the right course, I had not put my fragments of knowledge together to have any idea of the extensive scope of file management and development tools to make the most of the photos I already had. Knowledge gained from Doug's professional experience in where and when to apply the features of Lightroom, where not to spend time and effort and a solid sense of post-production objectives was very valuable. Instead of blindly working through what I knew of Lightroom, I can now use it with the facility I had hoped for but could never find in books, articles or videos. Scott
