Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the essential software of choice for digital photographers on both Mac and Windows. This unique hands-on application experience is an intensive two-day workshop focused on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0, in which participants learn to download, organize, manage, develop, and present digital photography using their own laptops. Led by Jerry Courvoisier, a master teacher of digital imaging, this workshop ensures a smooth transition to the digital workflow. The cost for both days is $395 (US).

Jerry  emphasizes using Lightroom to its fullest potential by generating time-saving keywords and metadata searches, presets, and templates. Once images are processed, participants learn how to produce slideshows and web sites within Lightroom. We also study slide presentations and look at ways to integrate Photoshop or Elements for further image processing if desired.

Jerry shares his recommendations and strategies for making clear decisions based on how Lightroom benefits each participant’s personal approach and workflow needs. Under Jerry’s expert guidance, participants come to see why Lightroom puts deliberate focus on the word “speed,” for this program allows photographers to spend less time in front of their computers and more time behind their cameras.

The Lightroom tutorial exercises provided on the workshop DVD supply a broad assortment of images to work on, so you can continue to revisit the DVD when you finish the workshop. Jerry’s book Lessons in DSLR Workflow with Lightroom and Photoshop is a brilliant companion to this workshop.

“Jerry Courvoisier is, plain and simple, one of the best teachers of digital workflow and image management working today. He demystifies the digital world for both the beginner and the advanced user. For anyone shooting digital pictures, this book simply has to be on your shelf.”
