Who should take this Course
This course is designed for individuals looking for a way to deal with most of their digital images and take complete control of their digital post-production workflow. It is intended to give the participant the procedures and tools necessary to establish a solid workflow, in which you can import, organize, manage, edit and share their digital images at a fundamental level without being distracted by more advanced processes not initially required; but can be added later as experience is gained.
We'll be modifying our tried and true classroom workshop techniques, that we've been using with great success for years with our Photoshop workshops, to make it easy for you to learn Lightroom.
This course will help you bypass those frustrating moments of feeling lost as you try to learn a new program. We'll take you step by step through Lightroom so that you become confident in your ability to use it successfully. We'll help you use Lightroom to its full advantage and expedite your workflow, so that you'll quickly be back in the field making more photos!
If your goal is to have an easier way to manage your digital workflow, this course is for you!
The Basics Course
Many of our frequent travelers know our friend Tom Wester, who has traveled with us to many destinations and who has done on-the-spot Lightroom mini-courses to dozens of interested participants. Tom will be teaching this course, finally in a classroom situation! We are very excited about this. For many, Lightroom will be a welcome addition to their workflow making it easier to do all the daily tasks associated with digital imagery.
Lightroom is the premier software for managing and processing of digital images. It was designed for photographers with photographers in mind. Lightroom is built from the ground up for digital photographers and provides an intuitive interface to enable you to accomplish many of the post production tasks such as organizing and editing digital image files as well as getting them ready for output including slideshows, books, web, and printing. Lightroom uses the same RAW converter as Adobe Camera Raw and through Lightroom’s development tools you can make many of the global adjustments, as well as some targeted adjustments. You can also use these adjustment tools on TIFF, JPEG, PSD or DNG files and manage them from inside Lightroom as part of you digital image library.
All our Digital Photography/Photoshop courses here at Hoot Hollow were designed with the photographer in mind, and are fine-tuned to clearly present the information you need to know to master the software and enhance your photography.
About the BASICS Course…
In this course we'll teach you how to use all the features of Lightroom including Installing and setting Lightroom up to support your workflow, creating catalogs and file structures to improve your organization, the adjustment and editing tools as well as when and how to turn to external editors for adjustments that can't be made in Lightroom. The class will provide an overview of the Lightroom Software and how it handles digital images and how it differs from other processing software. It will address Lightroom’s menus and preferences, and provide recommendations for software setup. The class will progress rapidly into application. It will discuss LR Catalogs, what they are and what they do, along with how to decide many you need and where to locate them. The course will focus on the Library and Develop Modules, where the organization, management and editing of your digital image files takes place. Finally remaining Modules of Slideshow, Map, Book, Print and Web will be introduced and discussed enabling you the share the images of your choice.
Time Frame: Learning new software can be demanding mentally, and for photographers accustomed to being out in the field shooting images, time spent behind a computer might be drudgery. Our time frame will hopefully alleviate some of this, by providing plenty of time at the computer while still giving you, the photographer, some time to shoot or relax, or if you wish, to use the computer lab to your full advantage. Our formal classroom instruction will begin at 9AM and continue until noon, where we'll break for lunch (served at Hoot Hollow), and followed by an afternoon session that will continue to 5PM or so. There will be a break for dinner (served, along with breakfast, at your farm bed and breakfast, the Mountain Dale Farm), followed by 'open computer lab time' every evening back at Hoot Hollow. Our instructors are always at the Lab, so even during our open computer time in the evening we'll be helping and assisting you, as well as reviewing.
Our Format: The Lightroom Course is divided into several segments that will make learning fun and palatable and extremely productive. Our morning sessions will be devoted to lecture and demonstration, which will also include hands on practice by our students. Afternoon sessions will include instruction and practice time, although the exact format will be flexible to accommodate the needs of our students. Some topics are simple to cover and to demonstrate, and for students to practice. Others, we realize, are more complex and may require several small doses before the concept is fully realized. If you are familiar with how we run our Digital Complete Nature Photo Course you know our dedication and commitment to your understanding of our subjects, and we will follow the same philosophy and teaching methods of the D-CNPC in the Lightroom course.

Joe has worked with Photoshop for several years, mainly for creating sales promotional material and for web site use. Now, with the advent of digital cameras, he is using Photoshop nearly daily. He is a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.
Our Educational Commitment - a note from Joe McDonald
If you've read the above biographies, you'll see that all of us are dedicated photographers that are interested in sharing our knowledge and helping people. I've been involved in teaching my entire adult life, from teaching assistantships in graduate school to a six-year stint as a high school biology teacher before starting my career as a wildlife photographer and photo workshop instructor. I intend to make our Digital Courses every bit as successful, in terms of the knowledge conveyed, the quality of the experience, the intensity, and, just as importantly, the amiability and fun, that we've done with our CNPC and ANPC courses here at Hoot Hollow.
