Have you ever marveled at photos produced by the likes of David Meunch?   Do you wonder how he produces such impressive photos?   This class is intended to show you some of his Adobe Lightroom techniques.

 The real power of Adobe Lightroom starts with an understanding of how to brighten and enhance the colors of specific objects or areas in your Nature photographs without affecting the remainder of the photo. This could include birds, mountains, skies, or setting suns. When you fully understand how to use Lightroom’s adjustment tools and filters, your photography will start to capture the beauty of what you experienced. Best of all, you will be surprised to see how easy it is to use these tools.

 This tutorial is intended for those who understand basic development in Lightroom.  It will introduce you to the powerful local editing tools, Radial Filter, Adjustment Brush, and the Gradient tool and will show you the advanced features for masking, which is available in each of the tools.
