Editing & Post-Processing Day
The photograph isn’t finished when you press the shutter. Bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic (the free trial is fine) and we will build a simple, repeatable workflow — from import and culling to a finished print-ready image.
What you’ll learn
- A folder structure and import routine you will actually keep
- Culling fast: choosing keepers without guilt
- The five sliders that do eighty per cent of the work
- Local adjustments: dodging, burning and graduated filters
- Straightening, cropping and preparing files for print or web
- A gentle critique session on images you edit during the day
