Introduction to Adobe Lightroom 2

For our January Suggest-A-Workshop topic, Steve Laskevitch, founder of Seattle's Luminous Works Training Center, and author of the Photoshop CS4 Photographer's Handbook (which includes several chapters on working with Lightroom 2), will be presenting an introduction to working in Adobe Lightroom 2.

What is Lightroom?

Some photographers use it as an image management tool, taking advantage of Lightroom's database nature. Others use it to quickly post photo galleries to the web (their own site or Flickr, perhaps). Still others for presentations.

In this brief overview, we'll take a peek at those uses. Then we'll look into what is to many the heart of Lightroom 2: image development. We'll have a look at setting (and understanding) white balance, controlling highlights and shadows, grayscale "conversion", toning, and more.

These workshops are demonstrated using Lightroom 2 on Mac OS X, however the learning applies to PC Lightroom users as well.

Participate via the Web or In-Person in Seattle:

Our workshop/webcast format combines a live Seattle workshop with a simultaneous online webcast. We've provided a short video above describing how this works.

How it works: A live audience of designers participate from our training room in Seattle. Web attendees participate at the same time through an easy webinar connection. Web participants type questions using the webinar interface -- and the instructor answers live, just as he answers anyone in the room attending in person.

What Time Does The Workshop Start?

The workshop/webinar is 90 minutes long. People attend these workshops from all over. Here are the start times for time zones in the United States:

  • 12PM - Eastern (New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Florida)
  • 11AM - Central (Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas)
  • 10AM - Mountain (Denver, Phoenix)
  • 9AM - Pacific (Seattle, Los Angeles)
  • 7AM - Hawaii

For international participants, or to confirm for a specific time zone, here is a link that shows what 9AM in Seattle translates to around the world: What time is 9AM in Seattle?
