Before diving into the intricacies of Adobe Lightroom, it’s crucial to understand why we shoot in RAW format. RAW is like the digital negative of your photograph. It contains all the data captured by the camera sensor without any processing applied. This gives you more flexibility and control during the editing process, allowing you to adjust exposure, color temperature, and other aspects without compromising image quality.
We begin by importing photos from our local folder into Adobe Lightroom. This step ensures all our images are organized and accessible within the Lightroom workspace. We then create an Album for each set of images we import into Lightroom, this way our library continues to grow and remains organized.
In this chapter, we cover fundamental editing techniques such as adjusting exposure, contrast, color temperature, highlights, shadows, and texture. These adjustments help enhance the overall quality of your images.
Adobe Lightroom offers a wide range of presets that serve as starting points to achieve different looks and styles. We explore how to apply and customize presets to streamline our editing process and achieve consistent results.
Versions in Lightroom allow us to create multiple variations of the same image without duplicating files. This feature enables us to experiment with different edits and compare them side by side, helping us refine our creative vision.
Once we’re satisfied with our edits, it’s time to export the final images in a shareable format. We learn how to export photos as JPEG files, ensuring they’re ready for delivery or submission.
By mastering these chapters, you’ll gain essential skills in Adobe Lightroom that will elevate your photography to the next level. Experiment, practice, and enjoy the creative process!
