Tomorrow I will be attending the Kelby Training Live series with Matt Kloskowski’s Lightroom 4 Tour! I am excited to finally learn Lightroom the right way by a true subject matter expert in the Lightroom circle. Matt K runs the awesome Lightroom website, Lightroom Killer Tips. I have been wanting to jump in the Lightroom boat for quite some time now, but have been quite intimidated. I am stoked to learn it from good friend and subject matter expert Matt Kloskowski!
Have you ever attended a Kelby Training Live Event? If not, you should really look into one in a city near you. I went to one a little over a year ago, From Focus To Finished, with Ben Willmore and it was incredible! A whole day devoted to Photoshop from taking a picture to saving it when you are all done in Photoshop. Ben gave several hundred valuable tips and tricks that I still use today! As a matter of fact I learned a lot about hot keys in Photoshop from Ben. I am looking forward to seeing the same with the Lightroom Tour, and who knows, you may see some Lightroom tutorials here afterward!
Check out the Lightroom 4 Tour site to see if it is coming to a city near you!
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!
Intimidated by Lightroom? I kinda get that, because you do have to allow Lightroom to basically manage your photos and workflow in order to get the most out of it. That said, Lightroom is one of the easiest editing programs in the world to get started with, and you can probably accomplish about 90% of your editing without a trip into Photoshop (plus you can export directly from LR to Photomatix and back again with their free plugin). Also, it’s pretty tightly linked with PS as well, so even if you do need to go back and forth, it’s easy. That program has made more of a difference in how I process images that any other. Not to mention, if you convert to DNG upon import, you can save a bunch of drive space. You will not look back, I promise.
As a wise Sith Lord once said, join us and your journey toward the dark…um, I mean, light side will be complete.
How was the workshop? I’m considering taking it in Austin.
Awesome Henry! You will learn a ton! Well worth the price.
