You will learn practical and professional post-production techniques through Adobe Lightroom. However, this course will give you confidence in image editing even if you're a complete beginner to post-production, there is something for everyone! Advanced editing in Adobe Photoshop, showing you how I achieve my signature style for my images! Let me show you how to enhance your images with Adobe Photoshop with advanced editing techniques, showcasing breathtaking before - after image comparisons.
Module 1: In the first module, we will learn the basics of Lightroom, how to import, catalogue and create subfolders inside of Lightroom. One of the most beneficial features of Lightroom is the ease of your workflow and organisation created inside the program.
Module 2: Inside module number two, we will explore the develop module, starting to explore the editing features of Lightroom. Inside module two, we will discover what each slider does directly to the image. Module 3: Module number 3 we will begin to edit the landscape and travel photography images.
Through ALL 15 lessons, we will uncover something new and unique to the pictures. In fact, many of the most powerful features are buried away and easily overlooked. Section 1 — Lays the foundations to help you work quickly and effectively in Lightroom. The features covered here are often ignored, yet they can make it much easier to edit your photographs. Section 2 — Provides detailed guidance for all the adjustment tools.
Use this section to develop your skills, and then later as a reference. Section 3 — Explains how to make selective adjustments to your images.
Creating selections is one of the most valuable editing techniques you can develop. Despite this, surprising few people can do it well. This section will guide you through creating detailed and complex selection with ease. Section 4 — Helps you develop your Lightroom workflow.
There are a metric ton of tutorials and web pages online devoted to helping you understand the Develop module , but right now I just want you to focus on two simple things: Cropping and Exposure. One of the most basic edits many people do, is to trim them down so just the important parts are in the frame, and get rid of things along the edge like trees, trash cans, bystanders, and the like.
To do this click the square icon under the colorful graph called the Histogram , or use the keyboard shortcut R and you will see a nifty overlay appear on your image that you can use to crop it down how you want. Use the corners of the rectangle overlay to crop your picture down so it contains only what you want, then when you are done press the [enter] or [return] key to see the results.
Remember what I said earlier about Lightroom being nondestructive? It might look like you have just removed part of your photo, but the original is entirely untouched, and remains fully intact on your computer. What you are actually editing here is a placeholder — a preview of what the final image will look like — not the actual image itself.
But your original file remains uncropped on your computer — Lightroom only shows how it will look if you apply this setting. The other common edit that people make to their images is adjusting the brightness, often to fix an image that is too over or under-exposed. Once again you will notice the changes you make reflected on the picture you see, but keep in mind you are not actually editing the original photo. Your instructions to crop, brighten, or otherwise change the picture are being stored in the Catalog file, while the original remains untouched.
At this point you can go ahead and experiment with all the other options, tools, and sliders you see in the Develop module and take note of how they alter your photo. This is again where the cooking analogy may come in handy, since this step is similar to putting your cake, casserole, or quiche, in the oven so it can bake. You still have the original ingredients on your counter and in your pantry, but once your timer beeps you will have an entirely new creation based on the recipe you used.
In Lightroom you edit photos instead of making pastries or pies, and the Export step is when you put them in your virtual oven to be processed. Hopefully by now you are getting a little more used to this sort of thing when using Lightroom, but if not just focus on a few specific items on this screen. On the left side you will see a few presets for exporting your photos, depending on whether you want to print them, email them, etc. Once you get the hang of the Export box you can create your own presets for saving pictures with specific parameters that you choose.
Then find and adjust the following:. As long as you did the last part, Lightroom will open a Finder or Windows Explorer window showing you all your new images, and where they are on your harddrive.
