2022 Lightroom. Introduction to Lightroom Classic ( LrC ).

Adobe Lightroom classic- part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud Membership for Photographers is an industry leading application for both processing and storing your images. We will review:

• Best methods for importing your images , whether they are from a fresh “take” and still on your memory card or already in folders on your computer.
• Navigating the program.
• Why convert your RAW files to Adobe DNG digital negatives.
• A catalog for each job or one master catalog? Which bests suits your working method?
• Improving images using the Library controls- exposure- color balance, tint- shadow and highlight recovery.
• Best use of “clarity” control.
• Create a hierarchy of Keywords to help you find images and conducting searches
• Creating Collections of images- independent of where they are stored.
• Exporting images- ins and outs of renaming and the standards for file sizes. File types and their uses.
• Moving back and forth between Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
• Publish services and backing up your work.

Covering this much ground in 1.5hrs is simply not a workshop- but a tour of the basic skills needed to make this application useful in a professional’s or advanced amateur’s image processing workflow.

In Part 2 on a future date, Richard will survey the latest features added to recent releases of Lightroom Classic.
