Process and organize your digital photos: Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS 5 and 6 tailored courses, November - December, 2012
Digital photography has revolutionized the world of photography in just a few years. Immediacy, flexibility, real-time control of production are some of the advantages of digital. There is, however, a drawback: all the "laboratory" or post-production work is now up to the photographer, especially when one wants to get the very best of what digital can produce, thanks to RAW files.
These courses of two or three days are held on demand, for small groups of 2 or 3 people, or individually. They will provide you with a very strong basis if you are just beginning with Lightroom and RAW, or bring you many more insights on a real professional workflow if you are a more experienced user.You will also learn how to organize your digital library and your workflow logically.
From the raw file to the digital print or the web gallery, all stages of digital editing are explained to you by a pro photographer who edit, process and caption each year thousands of images, for very demanding clients, including the world's two leading picture agencies, Getty Images and Corbis.
(We work mainly with Lightroom 4 and Photoshop, but we can set a course on Capture NX2 or Capture One 7 if you prefer)

Lightroom 4 Workshop Description
Digital photography only makes real sense when using the full power of the digital negative, the RAW format. But RAW remains intimidating to the beginner, who generally prefers to shoot in jpeg, and thus loses the main benefits of digital (full control of color balance and exposure, for example). Also a just opened RAW digital file often looks very deceiving compared to the real scene. It is only a digital negative that needs to be enhanced and developed to reflect reality. Nothing like a slide, which is a finished image, for example.
A RAW workflow, well managed with Lightroom and Photoshop, is actually faster than a typical workflow in jpeg as parameters of development can be instantly applied to multiple images, then Lightroom will generate all the desired outputs, jpeg in most cases, for online printing or web galleries. (NB: we can also work with other development tools, on demand. We have good experience of Capture One (Phase One) and Capture NX (Nikon). But for consistency in training we cannot work with Lightroom and Capture One at the same time)
Our courses can been adapted to your specific requirements, due to small groups. You will not find this type of workshops easily elsewhere.
Our workshop hours are as follows:
9h-12h 30/ 12:30 am-14: lunch break together, usually at home, or small restaurant./14h-18h 30, with a coffee break in the middle.
A raw file (muted and bluish colors) developed in LR (Iceland)
