August Workshop - Photoshop Lightroom 3.0

Tonight's Workshop: Post-production Techniques - Photoshop Lightroom 3.0

After you go on a photoshoot, you have all of these images, what do you do with them then? This session will focus on basic digital photograph workflow using the newest version of Lightroom. The session will cover the basic features and methods of using Lightroom to catalog, adjust and process your images after capture. We will also cover tips & tricks and some advanced techniques. Both Mac and Windows versions will be available.

Lightroom has many more features than can be covered in one session, but this will get you started in using Lightroom and understanding why this is an important tool for the photographer.

If you have a laptop with Lightroom 3.0 installed, you are welcomed to bring it and follow along. Time will be limited, so discussions of advanced features will be limited.

For those of you who have studenet IDs or children in school, you can buy copies of Lightroom 3.0 at student prices from JourneyEd.com for $89.95 plus shipping: http://www.journeyk12...


Most of us have a couple of shots that we are really proud of. It might be an incredible shot of a storm or it could be a portrait that just came out perfectly.

Unfortunately for many of us, these gold shots are few and far between. Sure, we can get the occasional brilliant photo, but we find it hard to put together time after time. Don't worry, most of us have the same problem!

The thing is that by taking your time with a few basic skills, you can greatly increase the chances that you are going to increase your average for getting that great shot. The funny thing is that none of these skills are particularly difficult.

Keep those shutters snapping.


Note: The $2 fee for the workshop is for administrative and supply costs.

    As the leader of the meetup workshop, I was very pleased with the number of people who came. I hope you walked away with some real nuggets of information. As you can see, there is a lot in Lightroom. To this point, we have covered basic importing and cataloging in the Library module. Maybe we can take on the Develop module another night. Look in the FIle area for the presentation from tonight.

    Thank you John for sharing your wealth of knowledge yet again. Unfortunately I missed part of the class due to a GPS malfunction. I' m so excited! I just received my LR3 in the mail, and can't wait to use it. Thanks again John for a wonderful and educational workshop.
  • Bill Rosenmund
    John's knowledge of his tools is equal or better then many pros and it showed in this class. The density of information was high as would be expected in a tool of this capability. John worked hard to keep everyone up to the same level of learning.

    Thought it was informative, and would like to see a more in-depth new workshop on Lighroom. Was my first Meetup with this group. Its a great group and plan to attend many more of their Meetup. Tom

    Great introduction to the Library Module. I learned a few things that I didn't know from just playing around with LR.
