Dogwood blossoms and sunset reflections, Yosemite. I used the Color Range and two Brush components in Lightroom’s Masking Panel to select and lighten just the dogwood blossoms in this photograph.
On Saturday, January 8th (10:30 a.m. Pacific Time) I’ll be hosting a live webinar where I’ll pick two or three images from members of our Education Center and show how I would process them in Lightroom – with special emphasis on using the new Masking Panel.
This webinar will only be open to members of our Education Center. If you’re not a member yet, you can become a member by purchasing one of my Lightroom courses. My latest course, Lightroom’s Masking Panel: In Depth, is only $15 until midnight on Friday, when the price goes up to $20. And my other two courses (Landscapes in Lightroom: The Essential Step-by-Step Guide and Landscapes in Lightroom: Advanced Techniques) are also on sale for 15% off until Friday (click “Have a Coupon?” and enter the code MASKING15 to get the discount).
If you can’t attend live, I’ll record the session and post it in the Education Center for members to view. Members can also submit photos for possible inclusion in the webinar.
This live Lightroom processing webinar is something I’ve wanted to do for awhile, so I’m happy to finally have the opportunity to make it happen. In my Lightroom courses I try to give practical examples with a diverse range of photos, show my thought processes for approaching each image, and encourage people to think about how they might approach processing them. But the more examples — and the more diverse they are — the better, so this webinar seems like a perfect way to expand on what I teach in the courses.
I hope to see some of you in the webinar!
