Adobe Lightroom Classic CC Intensive: Two Day Class February 3rd & 4th @ LightSource SF, 1661 Tennessee St. #2W, San Francisco, CA 94107

This class is taught using the new Lightroom Classic CC desktop program. We will discuss the differences with the web based Lightroom CC application. If you are using an older version of Lightroom such as version 6, then most of this class will be applicable to you as well. We will cover some tools that don't exist in the older versions of Lightroom.

Part 1: The first day covers the Library, Slideshow and Web modules. You will learn how to design a logical file structure, build an efficient backup system, create an easy-to-use naming structure, and use “metadata” to simplify tracking images from program to program. Integrate image management into your workflow using  and learn how to implement an advanced keyword system for tracking the content of your images. We will cover the advantages of RAID systems, and how to properly maintain your offline storage.

Leverage the power of virtual Collections to organize your images. We will also cover the Slideshow and Web modules in greater detail, including the use of custom templates for unique and powerful automatic web design. Learn how to leverage Lightroom's auto generated online portfolios for personal or client review.

Part 2: The second day covers the Raw conversion and editing tools and Print module. We focus on maximizing the quality of your images in the Develop module, with a detailed explanation of each tool set, including advanced selective control with the Adjustment brush. Learn how to set-up batch processing, round-trip editing of images from Lightroom into Adobe Photoshop CC, and working with virtual copies of your original files.

• Complete explanation of the Develop module; every tool, every slider.
• Round trip editing with Adobe Photoshop and external plugins.
• Batch processing and custom export options.
• Introduction to the Book Module and integration with Blurb publishing.

And that's just for starters. Join me for a great class exploring these new features.
