Your project for the class is to apply the AI tools and techniques you’ve learned to create a stunningly edited portrait. This hands-on project is designed to help you practice and solidify your skills while showcasing your creativity.

Steps to Complete the Project:

Choose Your Photo: Download one of the sample images provided in the Class Resources section, or select a portrait you’ve taken yourself.
Import and Plan: Bring your chosen photo into Lightroom Classic. Take a moment to assess the image and decide which areas you want to focus on, such as skin smoothing, enhancing the eyes, adjusting the background, or refining lighting.
Edit with AI Tools:
- Start with AI People Masking to target and edit specific areas like skin, eyes, and hair.
- Use the Select Subject tool to modify the background while keeping your subject sharp.
- Experiment with Gradient Masks to create professional lighting effects.
- If your image has noise, apply the AI Noise Reduction tool to achieve a cleaner and smoother look.
Share Your Work: Upload your finished portrait to the Project Gallery to share with the class. Include a brief description of your editing process and the tools you used.

Project Deliverable:
Your final deliverable will be a beautifully edited portrait, uploaded to the Project Gallery. This can include:

A brief description of the photo and the specific edits you made.
Before-and-after comparisons (optional, but highly encouraged!).

Why This Project Matters:
This project will help you gain confidence in using Lightroom’s AI features, enabling you to edit portraits more effectively and efficiently. Sharing your project in the gallery will allow you to receive valuable feedback from your peers and learn from their creative approaches.

What You’ll Need:

Adobe Lightroom Classic.
A sample image from the Class Resources or your own photo.

Get Creative and Have Fun!
