“I’m loving the new world that you have brought me into with your knowledge of Lightroom and raw files. You have massively reduced my workflow, setting me up with a far more efficient photo library.”

(Jon Nash, of Jon Nash Visuals, Brighton.)

We deliver training for photographers based on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 3. We offer half-day, one-day and two-day courses.

One-on-one training—we visit you

Available throughout the UK at your office, studio or home. We work with you wherever you usually work. We’ll be using your own equipment and your own images

Who’s it for?

• Professional photographers who need to settle on a proven digital image workflow that includes management of a large library of existing images.
• Emerging photographers who want to get to grips with image organisation, optimal image quality and print quality and build a well organised library early on.
• Serious, dedicated amateurs who want to work quickly and achieve great results, technically minded or not.
• We’re training photographers, not engineers and scientists—we keep things simple!

What does the training cover?

Every aspect of digital workflow, from capture to final output (fine-art print, online gallery, submission for publication or stock). We speak with you first and deliver content that’s useful for you, after we’ve heard from you about what’s holding back the quality or speed of your workflow or just the enjoyment you get from it . Call us on 020 3092 2907 or e-mail us and we’ll send you the complete list of topics by e-mail and discuss the emphasis you’d like placed on each.

What we need from you:

• An environment in which you won’t be interrupted too often.
• A chair for the instructor and a chair for you.
• A desk-and-chair arrangement that will allow both of us to get a good view of the computer display.

For best results, you should have:

• A recent Apple Mac or Windows PC with an Intel processor and 4GB to 8GB of RAM, at a minimum
• A copy of Lightroom 4 or Lightroom 3
• A source of your own images to work on. Ideally, some raw files should be included but we can take photographs to obtain raw files during the training, if needed.
• A digital SLR or similar.
• A card reader or USB cable to hook up the camera and the computer.

What we deliver

• Digital workflow training that’s based on what you need to achieve, at a pace you’re comfortable with.
• A very friendly, non-geeky approach. No rush, no techie jargon.
• A published Lightroom book. (There are several that we choose from, depending on your interest and preference.)
• We bring a MacBook running Lightroom and adapters to hook it up to a screen with DVI or VGA input.
