Lightroom 4 Workshops

Lightroom 4 has been a great success, and everyone is looking forward to Lightroom 5. We are running workshops for both. Lightroom 4 before Acadia National Park and Lightroom 5 that will be out of Beta before Colorado's Fall Colors. We already did one in Durham in the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle.

All the location information for the first two listed are at the links shown above when you get there and Click here for more information.

Many are already familiar with Lightroom. Some are switching from other programs because of the sophistication of this latest version of the program.

Whatever your reason for using Lightroom, it always helps to get a leg up, to learn the ins and outs of the digital asset managment aspects of this program, as well as to discover different ways to accomplish various imaging tasks.

Topics covered will include but are not limited to:
  • Suggested program preferences;
  • The various revised and new modules and panels and what they do;
  • The powerful organizational capabilities of Lightroom;
  • Assorted tools and presets, including ©, file renaming, & Margo's Tweaks;
  • Templates; and
  • Working in programs with plug-ins such as Silver Efex Pro (for black-and-white conversions), Color Efex Pro (for special effects), Photomatix and HDR Efex Pro (for processing HDR images), and Photoshop (for other tasks - stitching and Content Aware Fill, among others).

You will receive a packet on Lightroom that will help you move forward with this program and remind you of all the things you learned in this workshop.

Practical Items

These Lightroom workshops will be split into two half-days to alow you to absorb all the information presented.

The first half day will start on Saturday mid-day (see actually hours at the top of the page for each workshop) and will cover the basics of Lightroom 4 and its two principle modules, Library and Develop, suggested preferences, organization, presets, importing your images through Lighroom, converting RAW files to the dng format to take care of quick loading in Lightroom, copyright template, moving and renaming files and folders, collections, and other digital asset management tools available in Lightroom.

The second half day will be on Sunday morning. It will cover the powerful tools available in the Develop module, including the multi-task capabilities of the adjustment brush and graduated filter tools. You will also learn about the clone/heal, crop/angle, sharpen, tone curve, and hue/saturation/luminance tools, among a host of others, both global and local.

You will need to bring your laptop with the latest release of Lightroom already installed on it, and you should make sure your computer can handle it. These programs are memory and power hogs.

You will need:

  • Mac users
    • Multicore Intel® processor with 64-bit support
    • Mac OS X v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or v10.7 (Lion)
    • 2GB of RAM (We feel 4GB is minimal and 6-8GB is preferable.)
    • 1GB of available hard-disk space
    • 1,024 x 768 display
    • DVD-ROM drive (for installation)
    • Internet connection required for Internet-based services
  • PC users
    • Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor
    • Microsoft® Windows Vista® with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 with Service Pack 1
    • 2GB of RAM (We feel 4GB is minimal and 6-8GB is preferable.)
    • 1GB of available hard-disk space
    • 1,024 x 768 display
    • DVD-ROM drive (for installation)
    • Internet connection required for Internet-based services
If your computer does not have this capability, write us, and we will send you a link to LR3.

Locations
We will be running the workshops at the Bluenose Inn in Bar Harbor, ME and the historic Elk Mountain Lodge in Crested Butte, CO, so if you want to stay on for our workshop or just enjoy some added time for photography, you may want to make your reservations soon! Both of these areas are rich in photographic fodder. See the pages for Acadia National Park and Colorado's Fall Colors, both of which have links for accommodations, nearest airports, and other useful travel information.

Instructors
David L. Robertson

Our instructor for the Colorado workshop is David L. Robertson, a member of Viewpoint Photograhic Art Center in Sacramento, California, where he teaches many workshops on Lightroom, Photoshop, printing, and black-and-white conversions.

A photographer and multi-time alumnus of BCPA workshops, Dave has been accepted into a number of juried, international exhibitions as well as several solo and group shows.

He knows Lightroom inside and out, is conversant with both Mac and PC platforms, and has often helped others in our workshops while doing imaging on his own photographs. In fact, Dave will also be on hand to help people with Lightroom at our Summertime on the Maine Coast workshop. This, however, will not be a teaching Lightroom workshop, rather additional help with Lightroom, since Dave will also be one of our regular participants.

Dave's website may be found at http://www.DLRobertsonPhotography.com.

For the North Carolina and Acadia workshops, Margo Taussig Pinkerton, whom many of you know as The Barefoot Contessa, will be the instructor. Margo has taught many Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures Lightroom workshops, both private and group, since Lightroom 2 came out. You can read more about Margo on our Instructors Bios page.

Cost:  $250
with a 5% discount for those attending the photo workshop starting the next day.
