Getting Started

Understand why what you see on your monitor may not be what you get in print and other output), and what you can do to control this. Laura makes seemingly complex and intimidating topics like color management, monitor calibration, color spaces easy for everyone to understand and to work with successfully. Learn Laura's output workflow, from Library to Develop to output.

Printing

Learn to use Lightroom's Print module to design single and multi-photo layouts, including contact sheets, picture packages and creative collages. Add text and save your designs for use with other photos.

Print like a professional to your own photo printer or export your designs and have someone else print them, or share them online. Learn how to tackle common printing problems.

Finally understand size, resolution, JPEG quality, printing with profiles, sharpening and other important printing topics that every photographer should master, whether you do your own printing or send photos out to be printed. Learn how to determine how large you can print your photo and still get great quality results, and how to set your printer settings for best results.

Book

Design beautiful physical photo books and PDF e-books using Lightroom's Book module. Set page background colors and graphics, add extensive professionally formatted text, vary page layouts using Lightroom's huge single and multi-photo page-layout library, create custom pages, learn to quickly auto-layout your book, and much more. Learn how to export directly to a photo book publishing company, and how to export to PDF for showing off on your iPad, by email and more. Reuse your book designs with new photos.

Slideshow

Create slideshows with Lightroom's Slideshow module to play from within Lightroom, or export to PDF or video (great for posting on YouTube, Facebook, etc.) Add title slides and text to your photo slides, change background color and gradient, add music, refine your slide layouts and more.

Web

Lightroom's Web module allows you to create web pages to show off your photos. Laura helps you to assess whether it is right for you, and then teaches you how to design both flash and HTML galleries (and what the advantages of each are), and how to upload them to your website - you may have one and not even know it! Learn how to save your designs so you can efficiently reuse them with new photos.
