This is a specialized semi-private workshop that will use Adobe Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC. So you should have a little experience with one of these applications. You’ll learn to create a selection of best images and then develop and design a book with those photos using popular online applications. Start to finish, we’ll cover every aspect of creating a book using best practices with an uncomplicated approach. This class is for anyone who is ready to make gorgeous photography books.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Using Lightroom (Classic and CC) to choose the best photos for a book
• Creating a timeline for your storyHow to export photos for books: colorspace and pixel sizes
• Choosing a book size, cover and paper options
• Importing photos into the book design programUsing templates vs. custom page design
