We will also explore the Develop module to maximize the quality of your images, including a detailed explanation of the new selective control with the Adjustment brush.

What’s a Histogram and the Magic of HDR

Examine the art of obtaining great exposures by shooting digitally and using image blending techniques to enable the digital sensor to produce images that more closely reflect what the eye and brain see. Using concepts learned in the morning Lightroom session, Dave Henry will demonstrate – on the screen – how to work with photos to minimize digital noise and get the most from elusive shadow detail. He’ll shatter the myth of “underexpose like we used to do with Kodachrome for best saturation” because digital capture offers much more control and flexibility than film ever did. Then he’ll tie it all together and show how to combine images, using the above exposure techniques, to create High Dynamic Range photos. This will be
the fastest and most information packed 2.5 hours you’ll ever experience.
