___________________________________________________________________________________ - Network event34 attendees from 6 groups hostingPresenting Wed 8/13 at 7 pm – A Basic Introduction to Lightroom by Lynne MassLink visible for attendees
Join Lynne Mass on Wednesday, August 13 at 7 pm as she demonstrates a Very Basic Introduction to Lightroom. With this introduction, you will be able to immediately edit your photos with or without the use of additional editing software because the basics of Lightroom are easier to use than some other software.
What is Lightroom? Adobe Lightroom is a cloud-based creative image organization and image manipulation software that provides everything users need to create, edit, organize, store and share their photos across any device. It is a photo editing suite for making basic adjustments, such as tweaking exposure and contrast, cropping, or fixing images by eradicating spots and flaws.
Lightroom allows for easy cataloging and searching for photos and gives you all the desktop editing tools you need to bring out the best in your photos. Punch up colors, make dull-looking shots vibrant, remove distracting objects, and straighten skewed shots. Easily organize all your photos.
You don’t have to take notes if you follow the presentation by downloading the handout. Click on the link below:
