SUMMARY:Lightroom Classic Learning Center Series Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Let’s learn Lightroom! \nThis will be a series of at least 3\, most likely 4 classes that will build on one another. We will be working primarily with Lightroom Classic CC (LrC) – which is the most robust of the 3 different Adobe Lightroom programs. This is a subscription-based program that runs approximately $15/month\, and includes LrC\, the full version of Photoshop\, and Lightroom mobile\, cloud-based storage and more. There are options to how much storage you can get\, and whether you pay for 6 months or the full annual fee. \nIf you are a new user\, you can sign up online: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom-classic.html  or by calling this number to purchase by phone: 800-585-0774  \nNote: I do not receive any commission from adobe. I am only including the info here\, because\, this is arguably one of the most confusing processes you will ever go through in order to understand the differences in programs and plans\, and I want you to get the appropriate plan without wasting a ton of time. Also note: if you are currently subscribed to one of the other plans\, you can call them and easily get your plan changed. \nWho Are These Classes For? \nCapturing an image is only half of the creative process. The majority of all images can be greatly improved with some basic editing/post processing. And if you shoot in the RAW file format\, then you absolutely need to apply post processing to your images. Unlike JPG files-which have color\, contrast\, sharpening\, white balance and more settings all applied in-camera\, RAW files have nothing applied to them in-camera\, and require at least some measure of editing to make them look pop. If you believe that editing is wrongful manipulation-then these classes are obviously not for you:) \nOverview of series: \nThe lessons will take you from beginner to power-user in no time flat. Lessons will begin with an understanding of how LrC works\, what the LrC catalog is\, how to easily and non-destructively edit your images\, and the more advanced editing tools that are part of the program. It is my intention to also include a demonstration of the “Remove Distractions” feature that is in Photoshop at some point along the way. More specific details will be part of the description for each lesson. \nEach online lesson will be recorded\, and participants will receive a link to the recording to enable them to work through the material at their own pace. Practice files will also be included\, as well as a detailed set of notes \nTopics: Local Adjustments-Adding the WOW factor \n\nUsing shortcuts to speed up workflow\nRemove tool – difference between new Content Aware Healing\, Heal\, Clone tools\nMasking- the power of “local” editing-Select Subject\, Select Sky\, Select Background\, Select Object\nRadial Gradient\nLinear Gradient \nAdjustment Brush\nSelect People Mask\nAdaptive AI Portrait Presets\nRange Masks\nColor Mixer – Hue\, Saturation\, Luminance\, Black and White mixer\nColor Grading – adjusting color in highlights\, shadows and midtones\nLens Blur\nLens Corrections panel – removing chromatic aberrations\, lens profiles\nExporting images – saving edited changes\, exporting for social media\nAdding a watermark\n\nJoin us for Lesson 4 on Saturday March 29th! See event listing for details

SUMMARY:Mack Trucks Historical Museum Friday March 21\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:What year did the Mack Senior model debut? When was the first Mack diesel engine produced? When did Mack adopt the bulldog as its mascot?  If you’ve got questions – there’s a pretty good chance the Mack Trucks Historical Museum has the answers within their archives. The Mack Museum was born as a non-profit corporation in 1984 and commemorates Mack history through photos\, memorabilia and a collection of vintage Mack truck models. In addition to being the authority on all things Mack\, the Mack Trucks Historical Museum also restores and preserves vintage Mack Trucks and memorabilia for all to enjoy. \nContinuing in our Museum Photography workshop series\, join us as we take a photographic tour of one of the coolest and little known museums around. We will spend approximately four hours photographing some of the most powerful – and photographic trucks ever made. You will see everything from work trucks\, to fire trucks to everything in between-including MEGATRON\, from the Transformers movie! \nSpecial instructions will be given on dealing with exposures in high contrast scenes\, exposure bracketing\, creative control using aperture and focus point\, how to create high dynamic range images\, focusing stacking and more! This is a great place to shoot macro\, super wide and anything in between! You’ll be thrilled by all the creative compositions you’ll come away with and the fun you will have! \nThis workshop is geared for entry level and more advanced photo enthusiasts. No special gear is needed. A sturdy tripod is highly recommended\, as are lens hoods and a circular polarizer for each lens. Demonstration will be given on the post-trek zoom on how to merge bracketed exposures into High Dynamic Range Images(HDR) in Lightroom Classic\, and how to give your images a unique\, creative look through post processing. \nThis trek is on sale through March 18th. Cost of the workshop INCLUDES a pre-trek Zoom session where we will go over tips\, exposure settings\, lens choice\, etc. Admission to the museum and hands-on instruction during the workshop\, as well as the post trek image review via Zoom are all included in registration cost! \nIn case of inclement weather\, we will reschedule tentatively to Friday April 4th\, same time. 10:30am-2:30pm \nA minimum number of participants is needed to run this event. Please register early to confirm! \nLocation: Mack Truck Museum\, 2402 Lehigh Parkway South\, Allentown\, PA 18103 Use address below!!! \n(from website: Use GPS address 11 Grammes Road\, Allentown\, PA 18103)
