edit photographs to remove unwanted objects
do basic portrait retouching
export their images for a variety of uses including social media

In addition, Mary Louise will share her recommended workflow including:

where to store camera files and finished images
how to quickly narrow down from all photos in a photo shoot to just those images worth editing now and how to quickly remove images that will never be used
the order in which to go through the editing process on an image
short cuts and lesser known key combinations that help guide your editing choices

Latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic

Note, no previous experience with Adobe Lightroom Classic is needed.

Participants are welcome to follow along with the instructor on their own computers, but given the online nature of this class, it is intended to be lecture oriented versus hands-on. Since the class is lecture oriented, it is not required that you purchase Adobe Lightroom Classic before the class.

Adobe Lightroom Classic can be purchased as part of Adobe's Photography Plan starting at a $9.99 per month subscription. This class uses Lightroom Classic (LrC), not what is currently known as just "Lightroom" Lr (after a variety of confusing name changes) which is a cloud-based version with a different user interface and functionality set. Please contact the instructor if you are unsure if you have the correct version.
