Description

Have you always wanted to learn how to use Adobe Lightroom Classic CC to enhance your images? Then you've come to the right place.

Adobe Lightroom is perhaps the best and the most popular editing software, especially amongst beginner photographers.

And in this course, you'll learn about everything you need to know about getting started with this amazing software, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR HAVE NEVER USED LIGHTROOM BEFORE.

In this course we start from scratch and slowly build up towards the more advanced stuff.

The best part is that you are given access to all the images in this course so you can edit along as you watch the videos. This makes your learning extremely practical.

We cover all the important panels, functions, tools and settings that can really help in totally transforming your images.

We start off with a Basic Editing section where you'll start to get warmed up as you learn about exposure and color manipulation. Here you'll be seeing the usage of the basic editing panel, Hue Saturation Luminance (HSL) panel, cropping, vignetting, lens corrections, histogram panel, white balance correction, noise removal, sharpening using the details panel, etc.

.We then move towards the advanced section where things will get more challenging as we'll start to learn about localized editing using the tools like spot removal tool, adjustment brushes, auto masking, graduated filters, radial filters, etc. You'll learn about how to selectively edit your shots, like only smoothening the skin in a portrait without affecting the other parts so it looks realistic. Similarly you'll learn how to remove distractions in a landscape shot, work only on the skies, etc. Even cool editing techniques like selective coloring are taught.

You'll also be learning about how to stitch panoramas from multiple images, editing HDR images in a realistic manner, using the Transform panel to change perspective and get rid of distortions.

Then we'll move on to some of the important functions and tools in Lightroom that make your life as a photography easier, like synchronizing your edits to multiple images, adding watermarks and using presets.

By the time you complete this course, you would feel like you have the most powerful weapon in your hands as a photographer, which is the ability to not settle for a dull looking straight out of the camera shot. You'll know that no matter what kind of shot you got from your camera, you have to power to completely transform it using Lightroom. And this will actually make you a more relaxed photographer when you are out there shooting.

Editing is an art in itself and an empowering one. And there isn't a better and a more beginner friendly editing software out there than Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.

Hope to see you inside the course.
