This document provides information about the Indy Photo Club including upcoming events, tips for photographing models, and a basic Lightroom workflow. It discusses setting up a mobile photography studio on a budget, editing photos in Lightroom by adjusting tone, presence, and details, and using tools like spot removal, filters, and adjustment brushes. It encourages collecting and rating images, using collections to organize, and backing up photo catalogs.
Lightroom Rapid Editing System by Viktor ElizarovPiotr Kulczycki
Viktor Elizarov is a travel photographer whose goal is to help you to become a better photographer by stripping down all of the unnecessary complexity and fluff that surrounds photography.
This presentation aims to give an overview of my post-processing flow in Lightroom. I like Lightroom a lot because it gives me a lot of help in organizing, sorting and viewing my photos in addition to serving 95% of my photo-editing needs, and even simplifying online publishing. I don’t claim to be an expert, but some of my photographer friends have asked for help in learning LR, so I put this together as a beginners’ guide for them. This first revision does not have examples yet, but I may decide to put in a lot of examples for a later revision. I hope this helps you get started with Lightroom.
The PowerPoint slides used for a training workshop on the use of Adobe Lightroom for the organisation, manipulation and sharing of images for protected area management professionals.
College websites, in particular, often feature stale stock photography, which is a pity in such a photogenic campus. A series of training workshops were run in early 2016 to give amateur staff photographers a grounding in both technical skills and creative composition. The project team worked with the Marketing Office to produce a short pack that covers the basics of photography and also tips on how to showcase NUI Galway events creatively. This also includes guidelines (correct dimensions for College webpage banners, for example) on how to process imagery for use on the web and for print.

The presentation from the UND GaPS workshop, Learn Digital Photography. Unfortunately the animation of the slides does not work here, so on some slides only one image will be visible- all the text is still there however.

10. *Where to Start?
*Pick where to store your catalog
*Defaults is “Lightroom 5” main Pictures folder. C drive
*Recommend external HD for desktop or laptop
*You need to backup your catalog
*Another HD, online service – DO IT
*Create folders – I store my edited images on a different
drive
*How will you name them? I use camera file and date
11. *Workflow - Capture
*RAW vs JPEG
*Great Images in are better in Lightroom
*Proper exposure
*Correct White balance
*Do NOT over expose
*Better images take less time to process, you will appreciate
it if you are shooting a wedding!
12. *Workflow - Import
*Adding images to Lightroom is called Importing
*Insert Memory Card – LR reads this first
*Import all (even bad images) or select images you want!
*What do you want LR to do with it once you import it?
*Do you want to leave photos where they are…or
* Move them to a new location?
*Apply presets to the imports is an option
*Add your existing photos to Lightroom
*Just select the folder and sit back!
*Add MetaData is is your image fingerprint
13. *Workflow - Import
*Lightroom Workspace or Interface
*Press J to Cycle Through Options
*Other Options Flag, Stack or Star
*Rating images saves time!
*Delete poor images NOW
*Loupe Mode
*Largest Mode – Great for editing
*Survey Mode
*View many images at once. Great when they are similar
*Compare Mode
*Compares two images in great detail. Choose before moving on
14. *Workflow - Collections
*I love Collections – Use them!
*Collections are a way of grouping images without moving them
around your hard drive
*Collection Sets (Main Folders) Collections (Sub-Folders)
*Smart Collections – You create the criteria, it stores them for
you – 3 star or better, etc.
15. *Workflow – The Develop Module
*Work top down in the basic panel - Tone
*Check Histogram
*Clipping Indicators – Turn them on – Shortcut – the “J” key
*Skip Cropping now-maybe-unless you will edit for an exact size
*White Balance - Auto, dropper or other
*Exposure – Do NOT over expose
*Clarity – Adds detail; Add a little for close portraits, a lot
for groups or building
*Highlights –Affect light area, move left to darken them
*Shadows – Affect dark areas, move to right to lighten
shadows under eyes
16. *Workflow – The Develop Module
*Work top down in the basic panel - Presence
*Contrast – Use if the image looks flat or muddy
*Whites and Blacks are for fine tuning – eliminate clipping
*Vibrance – Is a smart tool that increases the intensity of
muted colors and leaves well-saturated colors alone.
*Saturation – Bumps up intensity of all colors…and reduces
them all too! Be easy here.
*Remember Snapshot and History…use them!
17. *Workflow – The Develop Module
*Work top down in the basic panel - Cropping
*Cropping – If you need an 8x10 or 1x1 start here
*Select Landscape or Portrait cropping
