Description

Welcome to my class: A Beginners Guide to Better Photo Editing in Adobe Lightroom.

In this class, I will be going over basic photo editing and how you can apply those edits in Adobe Lightroom. Each task we will cover in this class applies to all digital photography!

We will be covering tools and topics such as:

The Histogram
Shadows / highlights
Contrast
Sharpening
White Balance
Tone Curve
Exposure
Vibrance / Saturation

The goal of this class is to teach you the subtle art of photo editing. When editing properly, professional photographers go by the rule "less is more". The idea is to edit your photos, where the editing can't be seen.

Who's This Class for?

Aspiring / Novice Photographers
Novice editors looking to better hone their skills
First time Lightroom users
Lightroom users looking to learn a little more

Instructor's Courses

Hello, I'm Chad. I've been a freelance photographer & videographer for over ten years! Since doing creative work, I have been able to work for clients such as: NASCAR, Old Navy, various colleges / universities, as well as many towns and city tourism groups.

I have over the years slowed down my client work in order to pursue more personal projects and teach online. I have ran a YouTube channel (Chadeveryday) for about three years now and decided to branch out to Skillshare as well.

I have a blast meeting and talking to others who love photo and video work as much as I do. It's more than just something I love to do, it's a big part of who I am.

I hope I can help you learn some new things and have fun along the way!
