Shoot to Edit: Photography Post-Production Demo & File Management (what to do)
Details
This is a workshop/demo that I haven't run for a few years but I get lots of requests/questions about what to do with your files after you take the pictures?
On Sunday, February 2nd, you are invited to a lecture and demo where I will cover the three topics of:
- File management - how to name, preview, cull and select your images as well as how to catalog and store them.
- Using Lightroom to further sort and do baseline processing on and do a "Lightroom finish" with the image.
- Then I will take the image into Photoshop and show how further we can go with Photoshop that Lightroom can't do (and you'll see how you can easily spend a lot of time working on one image).
I will start the session by photographing someone (perhaps a model) with lights and then go through the entire process on one or two images.
You'll get to see the tools I suggest and I'll be happy to explain each step of the process, but this is not a workshop, as there will not be enough time for you to follow along on your computer. I suggest you bring your computer if you want to try something later, but come with a pen and note pad to take notes
Both Lightroom and Photoshop are capable of creating stunning portraits (headshots) and I will do a complete Lightroom edit, followed by a Photoshop edit. Even though both are capable of finishing an image, you'll find you can do a lot more with Photoshop if you have the time.
During this session we'll cover:
• Brief lighting and shooting demo.
• My workflow of how I cull (reduce) and select images for editing.
• Importing into Lightroom and a basic Lightroom edit.
• Advanced Lightroom edit.
• Exporting out of Lightroom.
• Basic editing/starting point in Photoshop.
• Cleanup, exposure, color, skin.
• We'll see adjustment layers, blending modes and layer masks (selections) in action.
• Use of key plugins.
• Several ways to finish the image.
•We may also talk about beauty retouching as an bonus add on, and talk about editing hair and skin.
This is a demonstration, meaning you don't have to bring your laptop, but you are welcome to bring it and try a few concepts later.
Note: This demo assumes that you already know your way around your computer and have some knowledge of Lightroom or a similar photo viewing software.
Images will be posted on the group.
