Photoshop for Lightroom Users - Classroom

Photoshop (PS) is bundled with Lightroom (LR) in the immensely popular “Adobe Creative Cloud for Photographers” package offered for $9.95/mo. Most people embrace quickly the editing and file management tools in LR, but get quickly overwhelmed by the PS tools. This class will help change some of that!

Lightroom makes a lot of general editing and even some precision editing quite easy. But Photoshop is the ultimate in detail controls and doing more powerful and cleaner edits. During this basic class we will explain some simple tips and techniques that allow you to use tools like:

Cloning – Ever want to make something, or someone, go away? Like an unwanted power line in a beautiful landscape, strangers walking into your shot, or removing an “Exit” sign or other distraction. This is one my most used PS tool! Clone Tool makes things digitally go away.
Heal Tool – Sometimes you want a line, or a crease in a face or a floor or wall to vanish
Dodge/Burn – You can lighten and darken areas in LR, but in PS it is much more precise and controllable
Saturate/Desaturate – You can choose a small or large area to add or subtract color from gradually
Compositing – We show you how to cut out an item using selection tools like magnetic lasso and magic wand, etc.
Text Tool – Adding text such as titles to a photo can be quite simple in PS
Intro to Filters – There are LOT of filters in PS. I will show you a couple of my favs and introduce you to how filters and the filter gallery work
Neural Filters - PS introduced some AI filters that are incredibly powerful and useful.

These tools and maybe a couple more, time allowing, will help you start to understand the reason Photoshop is considered the reigning king of photo editing.
