Tuesday’s class focused on photo editing, using Adobe Lightroom. I only started using it at the start of this year for editing a photoshoot for a dancer friend of mine, and I think I like it more than Photoshop.

Photoshop feels like it deals in absolutes, and it gets very technical and there are so many things you can do with it. Too many for me, since normally I just want to fix up the lighting.

Lightroom’s functions are really straightforward, and just playing around with it is enough for me to develop my skills. Failing that, YouTube and Google are full of tutorials that I can use. I’m appreciating in this studio that I am given a lot of time to practice my skills, rather than faffing around for 3 hours on some theory that leaves me braindead after 15 minutes.
