Difficulty of Using Adobe Lightroom, or Lack Thereof

Elise.Studio

Today, I taught a workshop about photo post-processing with Adobe Lightroom beta 3 to several Monash University student.
It was quite fun.

Most students never used Lightroom before, so we gotta go from the start.

I covered:
- Importing
- Flagging (Pick, color, star)
- Croping, Brush, Graduate Filter, Spot removal
- The basics of sliders on develop module
- Exporting
- Develop presets and Exporting presets

To my surprise, the whole thing only took less than an hour. I use 11 sample images to show stuff. Couple of landscapes and portraits.

Seems to me that people always tries to compare Lightroom to Photoshop. We had to explain the concept of ‘non-destructible image editing’ as opposed to layering in photoshop.

All in all, it was fun and I will record a screencast of the workshop on my mac later. Stay tuned.
