Digital Darkroom with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

April 25th, 2009 lvs

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a program that was designed specifically for photographers. Lightroom has become the preferred method of working with photographs for many photographers because it enables them to catalogue, process or develop, print their images, and more, all in one powerful program.

Adobe Photoshop, by comparison, is a great program, but it was designed for people who use photographs, not necessarily for photographers. Photoshop itself is still very powerful program for working with photography but it was designed originally as a graphics program. Lightroom was designed from the ground up for digital photography and offers new approaches that are more intuitive and often more efficient for photographers. Within Lightroom you’ll be able to organize your photographs in the Library module, optimise them in the Develop module and publish them to the web, or to print. You will find all the photographic tools from Adobe Camera Raw in Lightroom as well as the organizing Power of Adobe Bridge at a third of the cost of Photoshop.

In this class we’ll cover all the tools available in this innovative new application.

Upon completion of Digital Darkroom with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom online course you will be able to do things with your images that even a skilled photo finisher with a well equipped darkroom would find difficult, time consuming, and often impossible!

Ron Lacy is the instructor of the Digital Darkroom with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom online course. Ron first got seriously involved in photography in the mid 70s when he bought his first 35mm SLR. Shortly after he set up his own darkroom to gain more creative control over the craft. In the late 90s Ron took the plunge into digital photography using a transparency scanner to digitize 35mm slides and now uses it almost exclusively and has become fluent in the digital darkroom techniques of Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. As well as the digital photography classes he teaches Adobe Photoshop For Digital Photographers. He co-wrote Paint Shop Pro 8 Zero to Hero, published by Friends of Ed, with fellow LVS instructor Sally Beacham and in the past wrote articles for About.com and PSPPower.com.

Ron makes his home with his wife, MC, in the country just north of Thunder Bay Ontario. Being semi retired from the heavy construction industry he has plenty of time to spend on digital photography. His other interests include sailing, scuba diving, photography and, during the very long northwestern Ontario winters, downhill skiing.
