Photoshop for Lightroom users

Led by Adrian Beasley

 

Lightroom excels at organisation, batch processing and intuitive editing.  However, Photoshop allows un-rivalled image editing at a much deeper level and is the tool of choice for many professional photographers.  Fortunately, Adobe has created an integrated solution allowing Lightroom users to use Photoshop as part of their workflow.  Photoshop used to be prohibitively expensive, now the Adobe Photography monthly subscription provides cost effective access to both, so why not get your money’s worth!

 

Join me on this workshop as an introduction to using Photoshop’s power within Lightroom and look at some of the reasons why Photoshop is still used today by professional photographers for retouching their images.

Agenda

• The difference between Lightroom and Photoshop

• Configuring Lightroom settings for Photoshop
