Lightroom Video Tutorial: Portrait Sharpening

Have a new video tutorial on how to do portrait sharpening in Lightroom, which sometimes requires a different process than just a general image sharpening, because you may not want the effect to be global.

Watch it and let me know what you think. As always, if there is something specific you would like me to cover in Lightroom, let me know in the comments.

Lightroom Tutorial Before & After

In this 3rd installment, watch as I fumble around, my computer inexplicably slows down, I grab the wrong after image, and I have several seconds of dead air. Do you like train wrecks?

Come on, would you have it any other way?

In this Lightroom tutorial, I take you completely through the editing of an image, from start to finish, as we touch on a lot of the major adjustment tools in Lightroom. The develop pallette, adjustment brush, gradient tool, vignette, the spot removal tool (which for the life of me, I couldn't remember the name of!) and a preview of the sharpening mask.

My 2nd Lightroom Tutorial!

Hey everyone!

And tonight we have another video Lightroom tutorial. This is another take on making collages in the Lightroom Print Module. Create a collage that can be used for business collateral, such as gallery posters, a concert poster for a client, postcards, etc.

Come listen and watch as the little dog barks, the big dog gnaws a bone, I make up a new word, and see if you can spot the MAJOR spelling error! Hopefully, the sound is much better on this one, let me know.



Maybe 1 of these times, I'll do this after a few New Castles. It could only be better. ;-)

And don't forget, if you joined us for the Dia de los Muertos event at Live Oak Memorial Park, post your images HERE!

My first Lightroom video tutorial!

In my last Event Workflow Class, I showed the students how to create photo collages in Lightroom. As it was my very last class, I ran through this rather quickly, as I had a lot of ground I wanted to cover. So I made a video tutorial. I really had no idea I could even do this, so consider this first one a "proof of concept" for me. Yes, it's kinda weak, rough around the edges, and there are some slip-ups. But hey, it's my first, and I got it done, and they will get better. Besides, would you really have it any other way?

In this first tutorial, I show you how to make a several image overlay in Lightroom like I did here. It's almost like working with layers in Lightroom. This seemed to be a big hit in my class, but perhaps I went through it to quickly, so here it is, available to you to watch, pause, and play along. Tell me what you thought below. Video after the jump
