Lightroom Basics
Taking Your Photos from Drab to Fab!

Do you love taking pictures? Maybe you're just starting out on your photographic journey and are frustrated with the appearance of your photos: they just don't have the pop that you see in others' photos, or they are a little dark and flat. Or maybe you've been taking photos for a while and you're looking for a quick and easy way to edit them. Enter Lightroom! Most images can benefit from some form of editing. Sometimes a few minor changes are all that's needed to bring out the natural beauty that already exists in your shots.

As a professional photographer and longtime photography enthusiast, Wendy Tienken has long been using Lightroom to quickly and easily enhance her images, whether they are family portraits or images of her daily life. Wendy is a Getty Images Contributor and has contributed guest posts on Shutter Sisters.

This class will show you how making a few MINOR adjustments to your photos in Lightroom will make a MAJOR difference in their appearance. Follow along as Wendy takes you step-by-step through editing photos with common challenges. Download the exercise files and you can practice your new skills on the same photos used by your instructor. You will then be ready to take your own photos from drab to FAB!

In this class, you'll learn how to achieve the following in Lightroom:
  • Set up a catalog
  • Import photos
  • Use the Library module
  • Read a histogram
  • Achieve correct white balance
  • Crop a photo
  • Fix photos with exposure problems
  • Add a vignette to a photo

Important information about Self-Paced Projects at Big Picture Classes!
Self-Paced Projects are instant download classes that allow you to participate at BPC anytime! These classes are different from our interactive workshops. There are no starting or ending dates -- you may enroll at any time. This flexibility also means, that there will not be the level of teacher and student interaction that we enjoy in our workshops. You will receive handouts to print and an audio file to listen to, but there are typically no message boards or chats.

Even though these classes offer less interaction, you are not alone! If you need help, email us at admin@bigpictureclasses.com. Enjoy!
