Lightroom Beyond the Folders
Lightroom has grown and expanded to become a multi-faceted creative tool for photographers. But many (if not most) photographers rarely get beyond using Lightroom for photo editing (PhotoShop Lite, if you will) and simply organizing their pictures in the folders already on their hard drives. Lightroom has so much more to offer. This workshop, Lightroom Beyond the Folders, will unlock the vast power of Lightroom to organize your pictures, help you find them and create meaningful (and valuable) collections, tame the chaos of images scattered across myriad folders, and show how Lightroom can become the image hub that helps you build picture value. We’ll also explore how Lightroom can connect directly with web sites and social media platforms. And why combining Lightroom Classic with Lightroom Mobile can be such a powerful combination. No other software on the market today combines so many needed tools as Lightroom. Learn how to put it to work in this workshop: Lightroom Beyond the Folders.
