Lightroom Group Meeting Notes (11/17/2014)

11/18/2014

1 Comment

 
Five folks (including me) attended the session.

We discussed quite a few topics, including:

  • spot removal brush
  • lens correction and perspective correction
  • cropping tool
  • local adjustment tools: linear gradient, radial gradient and adjustment brush
  • collections, including creating smart collections


We explored touching up a face with the local adjustment brush and spot removal in order to eliminate or minimize skin imperfections.

Plan to have folks bring photos to the next session to work on.

Please post comments in this blog on features or issues you want addressed in the next session.

Thanks!!

LIghtroom Group Meeting Notes (10/20/2014)

10/20/2014

We had six folks attend beside myself.

We discussed the survey results and decided the group wants to focus primarily on the Develop module.

We also looked at the Lightroom Blog on the website and the Lightroom Resources page which contains some PACT specific documents and a video instroduction to the Lightroom Library Module.  

Members are also encouraged to check out the Lightroom Links for a handy listing of internet resources available.  You can post recommended sites to be added to the list using the contact sheet at the bottom.

Most of the rest of the meeting was spent exploring the Develop module with special emphasis on the local adjustment tools. 

We also btriefly explored creating and applying a Develop preset, copying adjustments to multiple photos and syncing changes across multiple photos.  These topics will need to explored in more depth in later meetings

Next month I would like folks to bring in digital photos on a jump drive for us to work with.  Prefer the photos to be in RAW format, but JPGs will workl also.

Don't hesitate to post comments to this blog with any corrections, but especially with any recommndations for next meeting.

Happy Lightrooming!!
