To free up more time for the business, marketing, and creative aspects of your photography, you must spend less time managing, organizing, and processing your images. One tool that can help you be more productive in these tasks is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
If you’re willing to spend a weekend learning about Lightroom, some experienced digital-photography pros can teach you how to convert your sometimes chaotic workflow into a faster, start-to-finish Lightroom workflow. The hands-on, two-day Lightroom seminars will be presented in cities throughout the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK this year.
In the US, each workshop will be presented by one of four award-winning digital photography experts: Jerry Courvoisier, George Jardine, Nevada Wier and Rob Sylvan

Instead of just talking about Lightroom, each instructor will use an experiential, personalized, and interactive approach to teaching.
“Participants bring their laptops with the current version of Adobe Lightroom installed and we dig in straight away with practical applications and time-saving tips,” explains Jerry Courvoisier, “We like to say that our student learn by doing, and walk away knowing.”
Courvoisier, who served as Digital Programs Director at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops for 14 years, believes the $295 registration fee is an excellent value for a serious, hands-on workshop. As he sees it, the two-day weekend workshops fill the gap between five-hour/talking-head sessions that cost $99 and week-long sessions that cost $1,000 or more. (Plus, a $50 discount is available when you register with discount code: LRWVIP.)
During each workshop, the instructor will show you how to use Lightroom to download, organize, manage, develop and present your photography. Specific topics include:
- setting up your digital camera
- choosing appropriate file formats for image capture
- downloading images from camera or hard drive
- sorting, rating, and editing images
- making global tone and color corrections
- sharpening your images (at input and output)
- presenting slideshows
- printing photographic images
By the end of the two days, you should know how to use Adobe Lightroom to its fullest potential by generating time-saving keywords and metadata searches, presets, and templates.
