LS 18: Lightroom Creative Workflow

Summary

In this session I share my editing workflow for two images, including my “composition-first” approach to editing which for these images centered around the dramatic light in the images. I covered sharpening tools and masking to selectively sharpen details, adding depth and dimension, especially for prints.

There were some great questions including why I rarely show my sharpening process in Lightroom. The simple answer is that I think of sharpening as less of a creative adjustment and more of a technical adjustment, so I tend to skip over them when thinking about the bigger picture of telling a story. However, sharpening is definitely important, so I will make an effort to share that regularly in the future!
