You’ve taken the photos and want an all-in-one user friendly editing programme for managing and enhancing large number of images?
Unsure of a simple post-production digital imaging workflow process?

Unsure of when and how much to sharpen your image?

Digital photography is more than just capturing images in the camera; it is also about editing, enhancing and showcasing them on websitesr, Facebook and Instagram, iPad /iPhone or in print such as photobooks or framed fine art prints to hang on a wall. Designed specifically for digital photgraphers, Lightroom offers powerful non-destructive editing features that lets photographers import, sort, organise and enhance Raw and Jpeg images easily. A time-saving application for processing and assessing a few shots or multiple digital images. The benefit of Lightroom being non-destructive means that your original photos are protected - even for Jpeg files - unlike Photoshop (unless you are working in layers and large files). Therefore your image edits are always reversible.
This 4.5 hour introduction course is for photographers (Pc or Mac) who want an understanding of a professional photo / image-editing programme so they can spend less time at the computer and more time behind the lens. It combines Raw and Jpeg processing, photo management and image editing features (plus a lot more) all in one easy-to-use programme. It is also compatible with Photoshop should you want to do further complex image retouching to any of your edited images. Through demonstrations and hands-on tuition using your own laptop you will learn the key workflow techniques of this programme. From the initial image download step and processing Raw/Jpeg files, through the organise and image correcting stages to sharpening, resizing and saving files to output for print and screen.

"Thanks for yesterday's Adobe Lightroom workshop. It was a very well run course with an excellent balance between demonstrations and "hands-on" time. It was also great you spent the time to explain how Lightroom is rather different from other editing programs with its "structure" to ensure the initial set up for importing photos is correct which is so critical to the program and being able to retrieve photos as required. I have no hesitation recommending this course to others." J. Beuman
"Thank you for what was a most interesting and informative course. I learned so much and last evening I went over everything we did during the session. I really feel that I now have a solid base to build on my understanding of Lightroom." R Allen
"Thank you so much for yesterday's workshop. I really enjoyed your presentation with theory and hands-on. You get through a lot in 41/2 hours and you are very thorough and generous with the information." C Grattan
"Today I spent four great hours discovering some of Lightroom's photo editing magic. Our host/ teacher Sarah has the gift of passing on her knowledge in a way that's easy to understand and went out of her way to ensure our small group enjoyed the experience and learnt as much as possible in the time we had.
Thanks for your help Sarah.' P. Caswell
