  More Seminar Information
  Adobe Lightroom is the new paradigm in digital image processing and photo database managing. Forget layers, masks and curves; Forget hunting for photos "somewhere on your hard drive".

  A Few More Thoughts:
  The content for the workshop are based on Adobe's Lightroom. Now in version 2, this friendly but powerful, software is ideal for "the Family-photographer"; "the Photo-enthusiast" and "the Professional Photographer". The software manages your digital photos in a real photo database as well as processes them with state-of-the-art "non-destructive" adjustments. Using intuitive interactive sliders, your adjustments are displayed immediately. Lightroom is a totally different paradigm - this software replaces the steep learning curve and "bloodletting" that is Photoshop. If you do not have Lightroom yet, a full featured 30-day free trial is available for download from Adobe.

  Other Advanced Lightroom Features:

  • Localized editing with Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter - the new Local Adjustment Brush lets photographers fine-tune specific areas of an image to precisely adjust color, exposure and tonal range without affecting other areas of the image
  • Picture Pack- quickly arranging photos of multiple sizes on one or many pages with flexible and customizable templates to maximize paper and ink
  • template to streamline and assure repeatable results for print, web and slideshow
  • "Suggested" Keywords
  • Provides improved memory performance for dealing with large scale images.
  • dual-monitor support
  • Future Expansion capabilities: SDK further extend the Lightroom workflow.
  • Synchronize any or all folder
  • Intelligent algorithms automatically determine optimal sharpening for screen or print, producing crisper images faster
  • support 64 bit
  • Ground-Breaking Innovation in Raw Technology - raw technology gives photographers access to flexible camera profiles

  If you do not have Lightroom yet, a full featured 30-day free trial is available for download from Adobe.
