Lightroom

[JuliaM]

I just downloaded the free trial version of Lightroom to try to clean up some photos I took at a SciFi convention that had some bad lighting - everyone looked like either they were seriously jaundiced or were auditioning to be Oompa Loompas.

I found a tutorial to help clean up those strange color issues but was wondering what else I can do with Lightroom. I do plan on buying it because I know there's going to be more Oompa Loompa pictures in August but would like to be able to do more with it.

If you are like me, and you learn better seeing it actually happen versus reading about it on a website or in a book, I can highly recommend this course. She goes over every module in detail and makes it easy to understand. I loved every second of it.

If you don't mind reading (or neither want to spend the money nor wait for Lesa to offer that course live again) there's a nice set of tuts here. She's using LR4 instead of 5 but I still learned the basics from that. It's a good start.

I love love love Lightroom, and it can do so much stuff! Good luck.
