Using her own stunning images as the starting point, author, instructor and artist Julieanne Kost shares her working methods with students, starting from the initial idea for a photo project, continuing through planning and executing the shoots, and spending the bulk of the time describing the post-capture workflow: organizing the images in Lightroom, performing basic and advanced edits, off-loading images to Photoshop for special purposes, then packaging the project for publication and distribution as a book, slideshow, or web site. Students will reap the benefit of Julieanne's long and deep experience with both Lightroom and Photoshop as well as her refined artist's sensibility. The book deftly combines practical information about working with the camera and computer, but under Julieanne's guidance the practical is always presented in the service of maintaining and supporting the photographer's vision for the overall project.
- Popular and inspirational instructor and artist Julieanne Kost shares her secrets for producing a complete photographic project in Adobe Lightroom.
- She uses stunning photos from her own collection to show students how to get the most out of Adobe Lightroom.
- Book focuses on a single project, starting with the idea, taking the photos, organising and developing them in Lightroom (with a side trip to Photoshop), and presenting the result in print or on the Web.
- Book is part instructional guide; part showcase, and beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated.
