If you're a photographer who shoots Weddings, Portraits, Sports or Events, you need to know Adobe Lightroom.

In fact, if you shoot more than 20 photos or more at a time, Lightroom is an essential tool of your post-production process.

Lightroom is especially designed to make the work of processing unbelievably easy.

Because we believe so strongly in Lighroom and believe that every photographer should know have a grasp of this powerful software, we have made it even easier to educate yourself.

We have made it easier to learn Lightroom. We have made two one-day workshops: Lightroom Introduction and Lightroom In-Depth.


ALR is an invaluable cross-platform program for the photographer who wants it all – importing, storing, processing and managing large volumes of digital photographs through the use of metadata and keywords, all in a non-destructive manner. In creating ALR, Adobe worked directly with photographers to create a stand-alone program that is also very well integrated with Adobe Photoshop. ALR can also showcase your images as a slide show presentation, as well as creating stunning Web Pages. Although images may be on multiple hard drives, even when the hard drives are not connected, the user will be able to see all of the stored images.

ALR allows the photographer to take their RAW images and, in a non-destructive manner fully edit these images. You will always have access to your RAW files. This also means the changes can be saved as a small set of editing instructions stored in the image's metadata, along with captions and camera information.

In addition, using dual-monitor support and 64-bit technology, ALR can use your own camera profiles to match the camera manufacturer’s color appearance. In addition, a DNG Profile Editor is in the public beta stage.

Adobe Lightroom (ALR) 101

After taking ALR 101 a student will be able to import, sort, name and retrieve files using keywords and metadata. In addition, the student will learn how to use the Develop module that allows total manipulation of an image, all in a non-destructive manner. The student will have a firm knowledge of the Histogram and Curves, and how one would use those toos. In learning ALR 2.0, the student will be able to locally adjust areas within the image, making it less likely that one would need to use Adobe Photoshop. But, the ALR-Photoshop relationship is a strong one, and the student will learn how to seamlessly move from one program to the other and back again. In addition, the student will learn how to present images, as well as how to create stunning web-ready galleries.
