CLASS OVERVIEW
It can happen to the best of us. Whether shooting or editing, prepping for a contest or a trip, the planets suddenly move out of alignment and we F something up. It matters not if you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, rookie mistakes are errors caused by a lack of experience, a lack of attention, a lack of care, or any combination of the three. In this session, we’ll evaluate and mitigate the most common boneheaded moves that will tag you as an amateur.
LIGHTROOM CLASSIC VERSION INFO
In Lightroom Classic Version 11 and Later, Adobe introduced a new way to make selections and masks in the Lightroom Develop Module. If you’re using Lightroom Classic 11 or Later, we recommend purchasing New Masking Magic in Lightroom Classic 11 in addition to this product to get up to speed on the new masking tools.
