Digital Workflow & Image Processing
The Complete Lightroom Workflow – Video Tutorial Series (over 3 1/2 hours for only $29.95!)
Kurt Budliger
Adobe Lightroom has been a critical part of my imaging workflow—how I perfect my images—since its first release. Its functionality and interface are second to none both for the casual photo enthusiast and for the seasoned pro. And for a full-time professional photographer like me, it’s a life-saver. My videos provide beginning and intermediate Lightroom users the expert knowledge of the best practices necessary to make images shine. The first three videos establish critical assumptions and best practices on image capture and file organization; the next four dig into how to organize and edit images. Next we learn the tools in the Develop Module that bring out the best in any image—the adjustment brush, graduated filters, and other essential tools. My series closes with several videos highlighting workflow efficiencies and invaluable time-savers like presets and synching settings. And at the end, I show you three images as case studies, walking step-by-step through how it’s done. These videos are designed to be viewed in sequence, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t dip into them again whenever you need a refresher. I am pleased to be able to share my hard-earned knowledge with you. Happy Lightrooming!
