What we cover

Six sessions,
one clear path

Each session tackles one specific area of editing — not a surface-level overview but a working understanding you can apply the same day. Sessions build on each other, but recorded replays mean you can catch up if you miss one.

1

Raw file foundations

How cameras actually capture light, what raw files contain, and why the same image looks different in Lightroom versus your phone's gallery app.

2

Exposure and tone control

Reading histograms without guessing. Shadows, highlights, whites, blacks — each slider explained with real before/after work on participant images.

3

Colour grading in Lightroom

HSL adjustments, colour wheels, and the difference between correcting colour and deliberately styling it. We cover how to make a look repeatable with presets.

4

Photoshop selection tools

Subject Select, Refine Edge, and masking workflows — practical scenarios like cutting out hair or isolating skies where automated tools fall short.

5

Portrait retouching

Frequency separation, dodge and burn, and how to retouch skin so it still looks like skin. We spend time on what not to do, which matters just as much.

6

Export and output

Colour profiles, resolution, sharpening for screen vs print, and file formats. Small decisions here visibly affect how your edits look when shared.

Session format

How each seminar actually runs

Sessions are held live via video with screen sharing — you watch the instructor edit in real time, then work through the same steps on your own files while the group is still online.

Questions get answered during a dedicated block at the end, not squeezed into chat. If something specific comes up during the week between sessions, you can post it to the group thread and get a response before the next meeting.

Questions

The ones that come up before people register.

Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop — a standard Creative Cloud subscription covers both. We work with recent versions but the techniques apply across releases from the past few years.
Most sessions focus on desktop editing workflows with raw files from cameras. Some colour grading and export concepts apply to mobile, but the core instruction targets DSLR and mirrorless shooters.
Live online sessions with screen-share demonstrations, Q&A time after each block, and recorded replays available for registered participants within 24 hours.
Each session comes with a short prep note — usually a set of practice images to download and open in advance. It takes under 10 minutes and means you can follow along in real time.
