Setting Up Photoshop Lightroom: The Right Way from the Start

10:00 to 11:00 A.M.
We start the day with a live photo shoot, and then we take those images into Lightroom so you see the entire process from beginning to end.

Editing Your RAW, TIFF and JPEG Images like a Pro

11:15 A.M. to 12:15 P.M.
Lightroom lets you process RAW, TIFF and JPEG images using the same tools, but it's what you do in the Develop module that makes all the difference in the world. You're going to learn which tools to use when, which ones to avoid, and how to unleash the power of Lightroom 2's Adjustment Brush in your workflow. You'll see exactly what to do, and in what order, to work as efficiently as possible, and you'll learn the latest techniques in sharpening, adding midtone contrast, adjusting individual areas of your image, and the latest techniques for making your images look their very best.

Using Lightroom 2 with Photoshop

1:15 to 2:30 P.M.
Lightroom 2 lets you handle an amazing amount of image editing, but there are times where you're going to need to jump over to Adobe Photoshop for things Lightroom wasn't designed to do. In this session, you'll learn when and how to use Lightroom and Photoshop together for a seamless workflow that gives you the ultimate in power and speed. You'll learn exactly how these two applications work in concert to give you incredible creative potential, and doing serious retouching to adding special effects.

Showing Your Work To the Client

2:45 to 3:45 P.M.
Lightroom 2 has some very powerful tools for photographers to create online proofs and do client presentations, and in this session you'll learn the step-by-step process for setting up and customizing a professional presentation that highlights your creativity and the quality of your work. Plus, if you've ever wished you had a really effcient way to let your clients, friends, or family view your work on the Web, you'll be amazed at what you'll learn in this eye-opening session.

It's All About the Print!

4:00 to 5:00 P.M.
The printing features of Lightroom 2, make it arguably the best program for printing photographic images ever. In class, you'll learn exactly how to set up your system for printing success, and automate the whole process, so you can just sit back, print, and get predictable results that look exactly the way you wanted them to. We'll cover everything from setting up Lightroom's color management to configuring the print settings so you'll get quick, reliable results, while side-stepping some common printing problems. Scott wraps up the day by bringing it all together by showing you the full beginning to end process; you'll see it all, from a live commercial shoot in class, taking the images into Lightroom, sorting, process, proofing, and even outputting the print right in class. Seeing this real world workflow come together live in class really "makes it stick" and brings it all together to make this incredible day of learning a career-changing experience.
