Learn how I use Adobe Lightroom for iPad to create unique images. With over 15 years of Lightroom experience, my workflow has dramatically changed. Over the years, Lightroom has replaced Photoshop as my primary photo editor. With the power that Adobe Lightroom provides me as a photographer, I can shoot, edit, and share amazing images with minimal equipment.
This course teaches you how to use Adobe Lightroom to edit and create the photos you desire. I walk through my entire workflow from start to finish touching on some of the more advanced Lightroom tools such as Tone Curves, Color Mixer, Color Grading, and Masking.
With many tools, sliders, and new terminology, it's easy to feel lost in Lightroom. Follow along as I share my workflow from start to finish while explaining which tools I use and how they affect the overall image.
Whether you are editing on an iPad, computer, or smartphone, the techniques you will learn translate to all types of photography.
