What to Do When the Lighting Isn't Working for You
It’s an all-too-common occurrence: You head out for a well-planned shoot, but the light just isn’t cooperating. That’s when you need a little help from Adobe® Lightroom® to transform your less-than-perfect photos into the images you originally envisioned. In this class, Matt Kloskowski will show you some simple techniques to add sun, flare and light to your scenes, so you can take a flat image and make it shine.
SOFTWARE USED:
Adobe Lightroom Classic CC
Excellent workshop. Very articulate and specific as to how and why to use a specific tool. Matt communicates very well with very clear explanations. I highly recommend this workshop for intermediate and advanced users who use LightRoom..
Matt offers clear, concise instruction and has helped me salvage some otherwise bland photos!! I cannot thank him enough for this invaluable advice and detailed tutorials about how, when, and why to use some specific tools in LR. Most of his sample photos are of landscape photography, but he showcases the same applications to portraits (my jam!) later in the lessons. Easy to watch and listen to. Great course! I will not hesitate to purchase any of his other courses.
I do not enjoy post processing much, a lot because I can't seem to retain the information that I learn so I get so frustrated.. I really just like taking the photos. But that's not the real world in today's photography. Matt, I've watched you many times, both online and many, many years ago at photoshop world. YOU MAKE LIGHTROOM SO MUCH EASIER TO USE. EXCELLENT CLASS. Thank You. Suzanne D. (photog4fun)
There were a lot of great info and tips in this course. The only thing is that by the title I thought it would be more about fixing way overexposed photos or hot spots, that kind of bad lighting, Also wish there was a portrait aspect to it
Great class! It is short, sweet but still packed with good info and tips. I got way more value out of this course than $11 I paid for it!
Loved this class. It opened a lot of possibility to my use of LR.
This was one of the most useful classes I've taken on CL. Lots of great lessons for someone new to Lightroom.
Enjoyable class, with useful information.
Started off slow but Episode 6 was a banger! That RANGE MASK is genius! Loved how it was used on the butterfly.
I am happy I purchased this class. I learned many valuable tips that are fast and easy to use.
This is a great class. Matt is a fabulous teacher who explains things very well and in a very likeable manner. With only using a few sliders and basic tools in Lightroom, Matt is able to totally transform an image. I have lots of old photos I didn't think it was worth doing any editing on....now I'm sure I can save quite a few!
Great instructor, he knows his stuff. Clearly explained, very interesting class. Thank you!
I was able to get this class when it was on sale for $14. That was a steal. After spending some time with this class I went back through my photos and searched out photos I was getting ready to delete because of bad lighting. With all the tips and tools Matt gives in this tutorial I was able to save many of them. Great class!!!
Great job, Matt. This was very valuable. I learned interesting things that I will apply in my workflow. I avoided the classes you did for that other outfit in Tampa Bay. You did cookbook - use these settings and you will get exactly the result I got. I don't want to get your result. Now you are spending good time on the "why" behind things, and your class has become great. I highly recommend it.
I got my money's worth just in the first 3 parts! Fabulous!
Great class with useful tips that you can apply to every photo. Matt is a great instructor and makes learning how to use Lightroom and Photoshop a lot less intimidating!
I was really happy with this course. It was short and sweet but EXACTLY what I wanted. I so often find myself shooting in non-ideal light and unhappy with the results I get... Matt teaches out how get depth in your photos and make your subject pop. I am actually looking forward to going back and editing some of my favorite photos to make them even more special! Thank you!
Matt is a fantastic instructor who males it feel like a joy to learn. It was very interesting to see his take on how to fix uninteresting lighting. This course delivers on its promises and it's well worth the price.
Thanks again, Matt for your ever inspiring ways to get a better look at our photographs!
Matt Kloskowski is funny, humble, and totally knows his stuff! He doesn't just show you how to use Lightroom to fix undesirable lighting conditions, he walks you through various ways to recognize and work around them in camera/on-location, to make your post-processing even better. I am so flipping glad that I took this class when I did! My shoot last night started a half hour later than I needed it to, and the planning and processing techniques I learned here totally saved it! In fact, this class, combined with Caroline Tran's film class and Blake Rudis' landscape class made the shoot into more than I was expecting, even though everything went wrong on-location! I can't wait to show off my finished image. Thank you Matt for an awesome class!
