About This Class
If you already know the basics of Lightroom and want to create more polished, professional-looking photos, this class is for you.
In this class, you'll move beyond basic adjustments and learn how to solve real editing challenges in both portrait and landscape photography. Instead of relying on presets, you'll develop the skills to analyze an image, identify what needs improvement, and make intentional edits that enhance its natural beauty.
We'll begin with portrait editing, where you'll learn how to correct lighting, retouch skin naturally, enhance eyes, and refine colors and details without making your images look overprocessed.
Next, we'll focus on landscape photography, tackling common problems like flat lighting, distracting elements, poor composition, and lack of depth. You'll learn practical techniques to transform ordinary outdoor photos into more dynamic and engaging images.
Throughout the course, you'll apply these techniques in a guided portrait editing project, following a complete professional workflow from image analysis to the final polished edit.
Finally, we'll explore Lightroom Mobile and discover how to edit efficiently on the go, apply presets, and create high-quality results directly from your mobile device.
By the end of this class, you'll have a stronger understanding of Lightroom's editing tools and the confidence to improve a wide variety of photographs using professional editing techniques.

NEW CLASS: Agile Project Management: Plan Releases, Lead Teams & Measure Success
Managing a single sprint is one thing.
Managing an entire project with changing priorities, multiple stakeholders, and long-term goals is something else entirely.
In this class, you'll learn how Agile teams plan beyond individual sprints by building release plans, improving estimation, measuring progress, and adapting their workflows to fit different projects.
You'll also explore when Scrum works well, when Kanban may be a better choice, and how experienced teams combine different Agile practices to create workflows that suit their needs.
