What You’ll Learn:
- Develop Module Basics. We’ll begin by looking at the difference between RAW vs JPEG processing. We’ll start out by choosing a camera profile as a starting point and make virtual copies of our images. You’ll learn a bunch of Develop Module shortcuts as well as how to use third-party plug-ins.
- Image Adjustment Basics: Next, we’ll dive into photo editing beginning with a Basic Panel. You’ll learn how to adjust image exposure, contrast and clarity as well as tweak the vibrance and saturation. We’ll discuss how to remove fog and haze from images, adjust the shadows and highlights and blacks and whites, and how to effectively use Lightroom’s Clipping Indicators.
- Working with Color: We’ll go in-depth working with Color in Lightroom. You’ll learn how to set the white balance in an image as well as how to change color in an image. We’ll convert an image to black and white, add some interesting effects using split toning, apply selective adjustments using the Adjustment Brush, add a gradient using the Graduated Filter tool and learn how to use Lightroom’s new Range Masking Feature.
- Fixing Common Image Problems: To help you fix those pesky image problems, you’ll learn how to crop and straighten photos, remove spots and other image imperfections, and fix red-eye. You’ll also make lens corrections, fix perspective problems and even rotate images.
- Beyond the Basics: In this section, we’ll move into some of the more advanced Lightroom editing features. You’ll learn how to adjust contrast using Lightroom’s Tone Curve, adjust exposure using the Histogram and synchronize adjustments across multiple images. You’ll also learn how to revert back to a previous state of an image using the History Panel and how to save image states using snapshots. Then, you’ll learn how to merge multiple images into a panorama or an HDR image. Additionally, you’ll learn how to use and create Develop Module presets as well as how to soft proof your images.
- Adding Effects and Finishing Touches: You’ll end by learning how to add those special finishing touches to an image. You’ll learn how to add a post-crop vignette, add grain, reduce color and luminance noise and sharpen your images. We’ll also add a spotlight to areas of our image using Lightroom’s handy Radial Filter tool.
