    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".

    • Intuitive sliders provide interactive global and targeted adjustments
    • Real Photo Database with ability to organize images across multiple folders and hard drives
    • Quickly find images anywhere by using built-in filters;
    • Easily add keywords to one or many photos
    • Automatically group your digital photos by family; grandkids, clients, year, portfolio, etc;
    • Easily create (one-click) PDF slide shows for viewing on any PC or attach to email;

    • One-click templates for easy precise print size, placement and color management!

    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.
