During a session
I'll share my screen so that you can see what I'm doing every step of the way, as I take you through my unique workflow, start to finish.
We can use an image of yours or one of mine, whatever you prefer. I'm happy to give a detailed critique of your images as well. I'll explain what I'm doing and why, and you can ask questions along the way. At the end of the lesson, you will receive a copy of the recorded session and the file with layers intact for further review on your own time.
All you need is:
Adobe Lightroom or Camera Raw for basic edits
Adobe Photoshop for advanced edits
Zoom or Meet (with microphone for screen sharing).
