It’s back! A TWO FULL DAY Lightroom intensive boot camp. This will be a hands on, everything you need to know, deep dive into the single most important tool ever created for photographers outside the camera… Adobe’s Lightroom and Creative Cloud Suite. Laptops are required for this one as this will be a fully interactive experience. Students will follow along every step of the way over this two-day boot camp as Lightroom guru, Clifford Pickett, walks you through every aspect of the software suite, covering the essentials, workflow strategies, tips and tricks, importing, development, slideshows, Lightroom Mobile, printing, tethering, syncing, virtual copies, presets, targeted adjustments, noise, sharpness and everything in between. If you are serious about learning Lightroom, a first time user or an experienced veteran looking to harness the power of the new and improved Lightroom, this is the Workshop for you. For those who have not used or do not have Lightroom, it is available as a free trial for 30 days and students are encouraged to take advantage of this: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/ccppn?promoid=695P7RNX&mv=other.
