Welcome to Lightroom Essentials, the Develop Module.
3
00:00:13,264 --> 00:00:15,024
I'm Juan Pons.
4
00:00:15,025 --> 00:00:16,815
In this class I'm going to show you
5
00:00:16,817 --> 00:00:19,967
all the amazing capabilities of the Develop module
6
00:00:19,963 --> 00:00:22,843
from basic editing to making your images
7
00:00:22,865 --> 00:00:24,675
the best that they can be,
8
00:00:24,672 --> 00:00:26,572
and not only will I show you how to correct
9
00:00:26,596 --> 00:00:28,136
common issues with your images,
10
00:00:28,139 --> 00:00:31,409
I'll also show you how to express your creativity
11
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:33,360
with artistic effects.
12
00:00:33,385 --> 00:00:36,035
I'm a professional nature and wildlife photographer
13
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,616
and I've been teaching photography
14
00:00:37,612 --> 00:00:39,832
and leading photo workshops around the country
15
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:42,470
and around the world for over ten years.
16
00:00:42,474 --> 00:00:45,564
If you're into nature and wildlife photography like I am,
17
00:00:45,562 --> 00:00:47,422
you may want to check out one of my other
18
00:00:47,427 --> 00:00:50,427
classes here on Craftsy, "Photographing Wildlife".
19
00:00:50,432 --> 00:00:52,872
I've been using Lightroom since it was first released,
20
00:00:52,870 --> 00:00:55,210
and it quickly became my principal tool
21
00:00:55,212 --> 00:00:57,622
for developing and enhancing my images.
22
00:00:57,647 --> 00:00:59,897
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you
23
00:00:59,897 --> 00:01:02,687
as we work with some of my favorite images.
24
00:01:02,713 --> 00:01:04,623
I'll be using Lightroom 5,
25
00:01:04,623 --> 00:01:08,093
which works exactly the same way on both the Mac and the PC.
26
00:01:08,095 --> 00:01:10,415
If you're using a different version of Lightroom
27
00:01:10,413 --> 00:01:14,203
the concepts I'm going to teach you will still apply.
28
00:01:14,201 --> 00:01:16,191
You may just not have all the exact same
29
00:01:16,195 --> 00:01:19,305
controls and sliders as I'm going to demonstrate.
30
00:01:19,334 --> 00:01:22,344
This class is made up of seven lessons
31
00:01:22,347 --> 00:01:24,647
and as information builds as we go,
32
00:01:24,646 --> 00:01:27,206
I suggest that you watch them in order.
33
00:01:27,207 --> 00:01:29,897
However, all the sections will be indexed
34
00:01:29,897 --> 00:01:32,847
so you'll be able to easily jump between the sections
35
00:01:32,850 --> 00:01:34,500
using the Craftsy platform.
36
00:01:35,199 --> 00:01:37,469
This class is designed for students
37
00:01:37,473 --> 00:01:39,403
already familiar with Lightroom
38
00:01:39,403 --> 00:01:42,593
since we will be focusing on Lightroom's Develop module.
39
00:01:42,598 --> 00:01:44,188
If you're looking for a course
40
00:01:44,189 --> 00:01:45,769
on getting started with Lightroom,
41
00:01:45,765 --> 00:01:48,635
make sure to check out The Essential Guide to Lightroom
42
00:01:48,637 --> 00:01:50,217
here on Craftsy.
43
00:01:50,213 --> 00:01:52,843
Also make sure to check out the class materials
44
00:01:52,845 --> 00:01:56,135
for a list of my favorite Lightroom keyboard shortcuts.
45
00:01:59,384 --> 00:02:01,294
Let's get started on this first lesson.
46
00:02:01,298 --> 00:02:04,598
We will cover the nondestructive editing process,
47
00:02:04,602 --> 00:02:07,492
familiarizing ourselves with the Lightroom interface,
48
00:02:07,497 --> 00:02:10,877
and developing an efficient editing workflow.
49
00:02:10,874 --> 00:02:13,814
The reason I like Lightroom so much
50
00:02:13,812 --> 00:02:16,342
is because of it's nondestructive editing process,
51
00:02:16,347 --> 00:02:19,557
and what this means is that your original files,
52
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:21,826
your raw files that you took,
53
00:02:21,823 --> 00:02:25,623
are never edited or modified in any way, shape, or form.
54
00:02:25,648 --> 00:02:28,998
Any modification or adjustments that you make to your image
55
00:02:28,997 --> 00:02:31,277
are recorded by Lightroom
56
00:02:31,302 --> 00:02:35,072
and can be reapplied or replayed at any point in time.
57
00:02:35,092 --> 00:02:38,292
We're gonna cover the history feature in Lightroom
58
00:02:38,288 --> 00:02:39,648
in a later lesson,
59
00:02:39,648 --> 00:02:43,578
but if we look at this image down here of these river otters
60
00:02:43,603 --> 00:02:46,923
you'll see all the different steps that I took
61
00:02:46,921 --> 00:02:49,141
in my editing process with this image.
62
00:02:49,157 --> 00:02:51,537
You can see every single little step
63
00:02:51,542 --> 00:02:53,102
as Lightroom records it.
64
00:02:53,872 --> 00:02:55,042
As you can see
65
00:02:55,045 --> 00:02:58,645
nowhere in the interface is there a save button
66
00:02:58,645 --> 00:03:00,675
or a save keyboard shortcut
67
00:03:00,673 --> 00:03:01,923
and the reason for that is because
68
00:03:01,926 --> 00:03:05,646
Lightroom is continuously saving all those history states,
69
00:03:05,649 --> 00:03:09,559
so there's no need for you to ever hit that save button.
70
00:03:09,557 --> 00:03:13,047
Now one last thing I want to mention is about shooting raw.
71
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:15,120
I always recommend that you shoot raw.
72
00:03:15,119 --> 00:03:17,219
I know a lot of people like to shoot JPEGs
73
00:03:17,219 --> 00:03:19,289
because it stores more images on the card
74
00:03:19,288 --> 00:03:21,388
but raw is going to provide Lightroom
75
00:03:21,388 --> 00:03:23,068
with a lot more information
76
00:03:23,072 --> 00:03:24,752
and it's gonna allow you to make
77
00:03:24,756 --> 00:03:26,736
much better and cleaner edits.
78
00:03:26,732 --> 00:03:29,622
In the end, you're gonna end up with much better images.
79
00:03:30,263 --> 00:03:31,813
In order to get the most out of Lightroom
80
00:03:31,809 --> 00:03:33,359
and really work with it efficiently
81
00:03:33,355 --> 00:03:35,845
we need to understand the interface.
82
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:37,859
The first thing I want to talk to you about
83
00:03:37,856 --> 00:03:39,986
is the keyboard shortcuts.
84
00:03:39,986 --> 00:03:42,216
There are literally hundreds and hundreds
85
00:03:42,216 --> 00:03:44,196
of keyboard shortcuts within Lightroom
86
00:03:44,192 --> 00:03:47,562
and learning them is gonna speed up your use of Lightroom.
87
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:49,387
Now it's gonna take you a little while
88
00:03:49,390 --> 00:03:51,240
to learn all of these shortcuts,
89
00:03:51,243 --> 00:03:53,823
but Lightroom has a very handy and easy way
90
00:03:53,822 --> 00:03:57,042
to look up the shortcuts that you may want to use.
91
00:03:57,044 --> 00:03:58,274
Let's take a look.
92
00:03:58,356 --> 00:04:00,746
When you're looking at Lightroom and working with Lightroom
93
00:04:00,749 --> 00:04:02,159
at any point in time
94
00:04:02,172 --> 00:04:05,002
you can hit command or control question mark
95
00:04:05,006 --> 00:04:07,756
to bring up a handy little cheat-sheet
96
00:04:07,758 --> 00:04:10,578
of the most commonly used shortcuts
97
00:04:10,578 --> 00:04:12,418
in the module that you're in.
98
00:04:12,441 --> 00:04:14,821
In this case, since we're talking about the Develop module,
99
00:04:14,824 --> 00:04:18,254
these are the shortcuts that apply to the Develop module.
100
00:04:18,256 --> 00:04:19,696
If you were in the Library module
101
00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:23,449
and you hit command question mark or control question mark
102
00:04:23,445 --> 00:04:25,315
you would see the Library shortcuts.
103
00:04:25,314 --> 00:04:26,844
This is extremely handy
104
00:04:26,844 --> 00:04:29,104
and something that you probably want to reference
105
00:04:29,107 --> 00:04:30,607
at the very beginning.
106
00:04:30,607 --> 00:04:33,117
To dismiss this dialog box all you need to do is click on it
107
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,800
and make it go away.
108
00:04:35,348 --> 00:04:37,798
Now let's go around the entire interface
109
00:04:37,802 --> 00:04:39,242
and look at all the different elements
110
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,050
that encompasses the main interface to Lightroom.
111
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:46,271
At the very top the first thing that you see
112
00:04:46,272 --> 00:04:47,682
is the main toolbar
113
00:04:47,679 --> 00:04:51,019
and this main toolbar really serves as a visual indicator
114
00:04:51,016 --> 00:04:54,436
into which module you're in in Lightroom,
115
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:58,239
are you in the Library, Develop, Book, or Slideshow module.
116
00:04:58,241 --> 00:05:00,891
You can tell which module you're in because that module
117
00:05:00,896 --> 00:05:04,436
is highlighted or a little brighter on the screen.
118
00:05:04,432 --> 00:05:08,522
You'll also notice the center part of the screen
119
00:05:08,526 --> 00:05:10,946
where it actually shows you the image that you're working in
120
00:05:10,946 --> 00:05:14,516
probably the most important part of the whole interface.
121
00:05:14,539 --> 00:05:16,729
On the left side we have our left panel
122
00:05:16,732 --> 00:05:19,162
and I call this the selector panel.
123
00:05:19,164 --> 00:05:20,884
In here you have a bunch of different sections
124
00:05:20,887 --> 00:05:22,527
starting with the navigator
125
00:05:22,525 --> 00:05:25,065
and the navigator gives you a preview or a thumbnail
126
00:05:25,069 --> 00:05:26,979
of the image you're working with.
127
00:05:26,983 --> 00:05:31,573
It also allows you to select the magnification factor
128
00:05:31,577 --> 00:05:34,487
when you're zooming in to an image.
129
00:05:34,515 --> 00:05:37,115
Below that you have your presets and your snapshots
130
00:05:37,119 --> 00:05:39,359
and then the history.
131
00:05:39,384 --> 00:05:41,024
Below that you also have your collections
132
00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:42,698
where you can choose the images
133
00:05:42,696 --> 00:05:44,276
that you want to be working with.
134
00:05:45,687 --> 00:05:47,927
On the bottom we have our filmstrip
135
00:05:47,927 --> 00:05:51,517
which shows your the images that have been selected
136
00:05:51,513 --> 00:05:53,353
for us to work with.
137
00:05:53,351 --> 00:05:55,031
When you were in the Library module
138
00:05:55,051 --> 00:05:56,801
and you picked the images to work with
139
00:05:56,797 --> 00:06:00,197
the filmstrip will show you the images that were selected,
140
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,693
so you can move between them pretty easily
141
00:06:02,694 --> 00:06:04,784
by just clicking on the different thumbnails.
142
00:06:05,813 --> 00:06:10,013
On the right hand side, it's what I call the action panel,
143
00:06:10,014 --> 00:06:12,624
and this is where all the action happens.
144
00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:15,039
This is where you're going to be doing all your editing,
145
00:06:15,037 --> 00:06:16,877
all your manipulation of your images,
146
00:06:16,875 --> 00:06:18,695
and all the correcting.
147
00:06:19,158 --> 00:06:22,718
Now oftentimes I like to have the image
148
00:06:22,732 --> 00:06:25,652
take up as much of my screen real-estate as possible
149
00:06:25,657 --> 00:06:29,037
so I will minimize some of these different panels
150
00:06:29,037 --> 00:06:30,477
and elements on the screen
151
00:06:30,475 --> 00:06:33,875
so you can customize the experience to the way you work.
152
00:06:33,877 --> 00:06:35,657
So typically, for example,
153
00:06:35,653 --> 00:06:38,043
I don't like to have the filmstrip at the bottom
154
00:06:38,043 --> 00:06:40,083
because I'm usually working one image at a time,
155
00:06:40,107 --> 00:06:42,327
so I can click at this little triangle
156
00:06:42,329 --> 00:06:44,599
at the very bottom of the filmstrip
157
00:06:44,621 --> 00:06:46,301
to make the filmstrip go away
158
00:06:46,297 --> 00:06:48,117
and that gives me a lot more room.
159
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,610
If I, for example, wanted to get rid of
160
00:06:50,606 --> 00:06:52,656
the history panel on the left,
161
00:06:52,659 --> 00:06:56,289
I can click on that little triangle and make that go away
162
00:06:56,292 --> 00:06:57,822
and my image becomes even bigger
163
00:06:57,822 --> 00:06:59,332
so I can work on this image
164
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:03,066
while it's taking up a bigger portion of my screen.
165
00:07:03,086 --> 00:07:05,856
Now let me talk to you about some of the basic interfaces
166
00:07:05,853 --> 00:07:09,033
in Lightroom to make you familiar with those.
167
00:07:09,038 --> 00:07:11,918
The first one is the little disclosure triangles
168
00:07:11,921 --> 00:07:13,991
and these little disclosure triangles,
169
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:17,390
you'll see them on both panels on the left and on the right,
170
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:20,495
and they allow you to open up and close
171
00:07:20,491 --> 00:07:22,881
different areas that you want to work with.
172
00:07:22,882 --> 00:07:24,892
So for example, if I want to see the basic panel
173
00:07:24,891 --> 00:07:26,541
I can click on the little triangle
174
00:07:26,544 --> 00:07:28,364
and the basic panel opens.
175
00:07:28,367 --> 00:07:29,677
If I want to close that one
176
00:07:29,682 --> 00:07:30,952
I can click on the triangle again
177
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:33,491
and it will collapse and close itself.
178
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:36,583
Another item to pay attention to
179
00:07:36,606 --> 00:07:39,696
is all the built-in menus within the system.
180
00:07:39,698 --> 00:07:41,628
You'll see, when you see a word
181
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:45,248
that has two little arrows next to it,
182
00:07:45,245 --> 00:07:47,755
what that means is that there is a menu there.
183
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,169
You can actually click on that word or on the little arrows
184
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:53,150
and you'll get a menu with a number of different
185
00:07:53,146 --> 00:07:55,296
selections that you can choose from.
186
00:07:55,292 --> 00:07:57,222
So always be looking for those.
187
00:07:58,252 --> 00:08:01,082
Now let us talk a little about working with the sliders
188
00:08:01,084 --> 00:08:04,114
because sliders are gonna be the bread and butter
189
00:08:04,114 --> 00:08:06,014
of using Lightroom.
190
00:08:06,014 --> 00:08:09,694
There are three different ways of working with the sliders.
191
00:08:09,694 --> 00:08:12,214
You can grab the little knob on the slider itself
192
00:08:12,212 --> 00:08:14,912
and manipulate it by moving it left to right.
193
00:08:15,874 --> 00:08:19,104
You can click on the number section
194
00:08:19,102 --> 00:08:21,412
where it gives you the value
195
00:08:21,415 --> 00:08:25,825
and type in a specific value, let's say point one,
196
00:08:27,682 --> 00:08:30,252
and hit return and it enters that value.
197
00:08:30,995 --> 00:08:34,225
But oftentimes what I find myself using is
198
00:08:34,225 --> 00:08:36,855
the third way to manipulate the sliders,
199
00:08:36,853 --> 00:08:41,103
and that is by clicking on the value itself
200
00:08:41,127 --> 00:08:44,807
and then using my up and down arrows on my keyboard
201
00:08:44,807 --> 00:08:47,417
and what that will allow me to do is
202
00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:52,113
increase or decrease that value in 1/10ths of an increment.
203
00:08:52,136 --> 00:08:55,466
So for example, in this case, you can see my exposure value
204
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,480
is set to .1 stops, if I hit my up key
205
00:09:00,501 --> 00:09:04,761
on my keyboard it'll go to .2, .3, and so forth.
206
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:08,440
Oftentimes I find this to be a much more effective way
207
00:09:08,436 --> 00:09:09,876
to work with the sliders
208
00:09:09,874 --> 00:09:13,004
because it is sometimes hard to be very precise
209
00:09:13,006 --> 00:09:15,026
as you move that little knob back and forth
210
00:09:15,023 --> 00:09:18,123
and get exactly the value that you want.
211
00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:23,610
The Lightroom interface has been specifically designed
212
00:09:23,613 --> 00:09:26,863
to help you develop an efficient editing workflow
213
00:09:26,891 --> 00:09:29,261
and an efficient editing workflow will help you
214
00:09:29,282 --> 00:09:33,132
with enjoying the process that much more,
215
00:09:33,157 --> 00:09:35,597
to be more consistent with your work
216
00:09:35,596 --> 00:09:37,346
as you work with multiple images,
217
00:09:37,342 --> 00:09:41,452
and allow you to work with your images much more rapidly.
218
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:43,006
Let's take a quick look
219
00:09:43,002 --> 00:09:45,792
at the editing workflow in Lightroom.
220
00:09:45,821 --> 00:09:47,911
As you can see here on the right hand panel
221
00:09:47,915 --> 00:09:49,925
we start with the basic panel
222
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:52,472
and we're gonna cover all of these things in later lessons
223
00:09:53,489 --> 00:09:55,759
but I encourage you to follow the workflow
224
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,030
as has been suggested with the Lightroom interface
225
00:09:59,030 --> 00:10:01,130
because it's going to make your process
226
00:10:01,130 --> 00:10:02,860
that much more efficient and faster.
227
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:05,190
And also it's gonna allow Lightroom to work
228
00:10:05,191 --> 00:10:06,921
that much faster with your images.
229
00:10:06,921 --> 00:10:09,151
I would encourage you to start with the white balance,
230
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:11,970
then work on your exposure, and your presence,
231
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:15,200
all these basic editing items.
232
00:10:15,199 --> 00:10:18,379
From there we're gonna do more advanced editing processes
233
00:10:18,382 --> 00:10:20,092
like adjusting your tone curve,
234
00:10:20,097 --> 00:10:22,417
working with hue saturation and luminance,
235
00:10:22,441 --> 00:10:24,401
even applying creative effects.
236
00:10:24,397 --> 00:10:26,697
And then near the end we're gonna be
237
00:10:26,695 --> 00:10:30,645
doing some sharpening and noise reduction.
238
00:10:31,842 --> 00:10:33,452
In our next lesson we're going to
239
00:10:33,456 --> 00:10:37,206
get to the heart and soul of Lightroom: the basics panel.
240
00:10:37,233 --> 00:10:42,233
(upbeat instrumental music)
