Beginners Lightroom 121 Tuition - Online Via ‘Zoom’ Or In Person

Adobe Lightroom is becoming more and more popular with photographers for its combined organisation and post production capabilities. User friendly, it allows you to import, sort, rename, edit and tag your images, as well as make exposure and other image adjustments, all of them non-destructive. Plus, it can be integrated with Photoshop.

Tutor Andy Page, who has been using Lightroom since it first began, offers private tailored lessons, either in person or online via 'Zoom'. You may choose from 2 hour sessions, a half day (4 hours) or a full day (8 hours).

ABOUT YOUR TUTOR

He has been using both Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom since their very beginnings as part of his work in both design and photography. Andy remembers clearly the day he saw one of the very first Lightroom demonstrations prior to its official release. Instinctively he knew that here was revolutionary software created by photographers for photographers, bringing well established darkroom principles to the digital era. Since then he has become well versed in the use of its many features and Lightroom has now become his primary photo management and workflow tool.
