Lightroom 5 Workshop - In-Depth Training on Image Management & Organization

Through a Series of 3 workshops, Bob will train students on the post-processing tool for hobbyists and professionals alike - Lightroom. In this the initial workshop, the class will be trained on the overall benefits of the software. Specifically, this workshop will cover the LIBRARY Module including how to IMPORT and MANAGE your images and how to use the built in tools to quickly find any image.

Join Bob for this 3-hour workshop which will introduce students to Adobe Lightroom - the post-processing software that Bob recommends for most photographers. Lightroom is an excellent tool for managing your photographs as well as editing them. A well constructed Lightroom catalog will allow you to find any image you a re looking for within a minute or less.

While I love to write, I don't have the time or resources to write out lengthy software based handouts for these workshops, especially when several great resources already exist. This entire group of Lightroom workshops will be strongly based upon the recommended text. I urge you to both buy it, and bring it along to the workshop.

The Lightroom series is broken up into three separate and unique workshops. Participants are welcome to take one, two or all three. There are no pre-requisites to attending any single workshop, just understand that each workshop focuses on unique features of the software and there will be limited time to address off-topic questions.

You are encouraged to bring your laptop to the workshop.

Adobe provides a free 30 day trial download, so if you don't already own it, you can download the trial version on your laptop and bring it to the class. Please bring a variety of images to practice on during the workshop.

NOTE: Lightroom is currently being sold in Version 4.0. However, the beta of Version 5.0 was announced earlier this month. Indications are that it will be in production some time in June. If you do not currently own Lightroom I suggest you download the beta and wait for Version 5 before purchasing.
