Join professional photographer and Breakthrough Photography Team Pro, Joseph Roybal for Lightroom Exposed: Enhancing Your Workflow on Saturday, January 18, 2020, 9am – 2pm at the Lone Tree Civic Center, 8527 Lone Tree Parkway, Lone Tree, CO.
In this Lightroom Post-Processing Workflow course we will really focus on how to dig into editing images at its purest and simplest form following a straightforward editing workflow that will be easy to understand and incorporate into your own process. We will cover general concepts beginning with how to look at an image identifying its focal points and how to draw the viewer’s eye to these creating movement throughout the frame by way of editing. We will utilize Lightroom’s tools such as Dodging and Burning, Radial Filters, Color Grading with HSL Sliders and Split Toning and their importance to creating color harmony in our final output as well several personal and more “secret” techniques I employ such as Light Sculpting, Inverting & Stacking certain effects to bring out so much more in your images than you might have realized possible.
You will also learn how to create User Presets that will greatly speed up your post-processing workflow – I’d like to think this one starting point I like to incorporate into my “Preflight Checklist” will help so much in creating a clean edit to begin with.
These presets and this workflow are from years of personal use in the digital darkroom and a workflow I find not only speeds up my editing process, but also makes it critically more effective and precise.
This course is intended for those who are familiar with Lightroom and have a general understanding of its layout, tools and overall format. We won’t be covering much in the way of importing or organizing as this course is more on how to get deep into what Lightroom can provide and building on your skills to work more efficiently and precisely in the program while simplifying and speeding up your workflow. As an added bonus or benefit to taking this course and even though we won’t really be working in Photoshop, we will setup Lightroom and Photoshop to properly communicate with each other making certain any time you open an image in Photoshop and save back into Lightroom you are not harming your image data. This is something I don’t think gets enough, if any, attention and it should as it is very important.
Images will be provided by Joseph Roybal where we will work as a group on a set workflow moving through these images at a comfortable pace. Please feel free to bring one or two images of your own that are similar in scope to those I provide. We will spend the first 2-3 hours working on those provided images and should time permit we will wrap up and break off into personal editing time the last hour or so, so each participant may ask questions that pertain directly to their own images.
This is going to be an incredibly fun day and packed with useful information you will be able to employ in your workflow by the day’s end and to start of 2020 with a new set of tricks up your sleeve.
