October Meeting – Lightroom and HDR

Lightroom is a great way to organize your images and your workflow. Join Gene McCullagh as he walks you through processing your HDR images using Lightroom as your base of operations. We’ll explore things like LR Enfuse, Photomatix, HDR Efex Pro, and Photoshop. Learn how to organize your bracketed shots and keep track of your HDR image from start to finish no matter which applications you use throughout the process. Even if you aren’t a Lightroom user, many of the examples will be immediately applicable to Bridge, Photoshop, or whatever you use to process your HDR shots.

See you there!

We’ll be starting up in October

We usually begin meeting again in September but this year, due to some technical difficulties, out first meeting will be in October. So stayed tuned. We are putting together some interesting programs for you!
