DAY 1: June 1, 2026

8:00am Lightroom Classic vs. Lightroom: Which program is right for me? with Rob Sylvan

These two programs have been developed side by side for years now, and they are equally powerful tools for editing your photos, but what sets them apart? There are several Adobe subscription plans that include both programs in them, but the interfaces and core workflows are different enough to warrant serious consideration before you make a decision. In this session we'll discuss the key features and functionalities of Lightroom and Lightroom Classic to help you decide which program is the right one for your needs. We'll also explore how they can be used together to get the best of both worlds. In this class you will learn:

- The core strengths each program has to offer

- The types of photography workflows each was designed to support

- The most important things you need to know before you get started with either one

- How to configure them to work together for added flexibility

10:00am Do You Still Need Photoshop? with Matt Kloskowski

Lightroom has come a long way, and a lot of what used to require Photoshop can now be done without ever leaving it. In this class, we’ll look at where Lightroom is enough, where it’s not, and how to know the difference. Some of the key areas we’ll look at are:

• When Lightroom can handle all of your editing (and when it can’t)

• The few situations where Photoshop still makes a real difference

• How to keep your round-trip workflow simple without overcomplicating it

2:00pm Landscape Editing with Anthony Morganti

A strong landscape edit does more than make a photo look colorful. It helps bring the viewer back to what you saw, felt, and noticed when you pressed the shutter.
In this class, we’ll walk through a complete Lightroom landscape editing workflow. We’ll begin with the basic global adjustments, then move into selective edits that help shape the image. You’ll see how small changes to light, contrast, color, and detail can make a major difference without pushing the photo too far.
The goal is not to create an over-processed image. The goal is to bring out the best parts of the scene while keeping the edit believable.
In this class, you will learn…

By the end of the class, you’ll have a simple, repeatable workflow for editing landscape photos with more confidence and control.

4:00pm Next Level Importing with Jared Platt

The most overlooked step in your workflow is the first one.

Most photographers treat importing as a necessary chore — click import, wait, move on. But the import process is where your entire workflow is either set up for success or quietly sabotaged. Every session you've spent hunting for files, re-doing adjustments, or scrambling to find a backup traces back to decisions — or missed decisions — made at import.  Done right, importing is where your photos get automatically organized, your first round of adjustments gets applied, your backups get triggered, your files get synced to your devices, and your culling process begins — before you've touched a single slider.

 

In this class, Jared Platt walks you through a complete, professional-grade import workflow from the ground up. You'll learn how to use import presets, automatic develop settings, file renaming conventions, folder structures, and backup triggers so that every session starts clean, organized, and already partially done. You'll also learn the most common import mistakes photographers make and exactly how to avoid them.

 

This class is appropriate for intermediate Lightroom users who feel like they're always playing catch-up in their workflow. If you've never given much thought to your import settings, expect to walk away and immediately change them.

 

Tools covered: Primarily Lightroom Classic, with import workflow coverage for Lightroom Desktop.

In this class, master portrait retoucher Kristina Sherk walks you through removing everything from rogue exit signs to that one stray hair on your subject's forehead, all with a single brush stroke.

6:00pm Bonus class with Clifford Pickett

Road Warrior: Tips and Tricks of a Full-Time Travel Photographer and The Lightroom Workflow That Makes It All Work. 
In this session, Cliff will take you behind the scenes of life on the road as a full-time travel photographer. The early mornings, the long days, the constant movement, the reality of capturing thousands of images, storing them, organizing them, editing them, sharing them and keeping them all safe. 

To make this all possible, Cliff built a complete ecosystem using Lightroom that quietly takes care of everything in the background. Automatically. From the moment images come in, they’re organized, keyworded, sorted, surfaced, shared and backed up.  All of this triggered with the press of a single button.  Keeping it simple, streamlined and portable.  All your images.  All the time.  Available from anywhere.  This is what it looks like to a have a workflow that actually works for you.  

Cliff will show you how this whole system works, the setup, the gear, the tips and tricks, all shaped by real experience on the road.

- Life on the Road - The Real Constraints

What actually changes when you’re shooting full-time: limited space, power, time, and how those constraints shape every decision you make.

- The Gear you can rely on

What makes the cut, what doesn’t, what actually works and what you really need.

- From Card to Catalog - The Critical First Step

How images are ingested, structured, and prepared inside Lightroom so everything downstream just works.

- All of your photos.  All of the time.

How to capture and carry your entire catalog on the road.  Making sure all of your photos as avaialble all of the time.  While keeping them safe.  No compromises.   

- Smart Organization That Works For You

How images are automatically sorted, grouped, and surfaced without digging through folders.  They surface themselves.  

- From Lightroom to the World

Using smart collection, super smart collections and published services - all connected - to deliver images instantly and automatically from anywhere. 

- Lessons Learned

Real-world mistakes, lessons learned, and advice for what actually works after years of doing this full-time.

DAY 4: Thursday, June 4, 2026

8:00am Lightroom Print Module: Beyond the Printer with Piet Van den Eynde

Many photographers ignore Lightroom’s Print Module because they think it is only useful when they want to print at home. But hidden inside that overlooked module is a surprisingly powerful way to create beautiful layouts, proof sheets, cards, social media graphics and ready-to-send files, regardless of whether you own a printer or not.

In this course, you will discover how to turn the Print Module into a practical creative tool. You will learn how to design clean, professional-looking layouts, save your favourite designs for later, and avoid the common frustrations that make prints come back too dark, too dull or simply not as expected. You will…

• Learn the differences between Lightroom’s 3 Layout Styles

• Build a Facebook cover photo layout to showcase your best images

• Create original birthday cards straight from your Lightroom catalog

• Discover the simple solution to the most common printing frustration: why are my prints so dark?

In this class, you will learn to:

• Use the Color Grading panel to control shadows, midtones, and highlights independently.
• Build cinematic color looks inspired by movie poster work.
• Balance skin tones while applying a stylized color grade.
• Develop a consistent, repeatable color grading workflow in Lightroom.

10:00am Get Organized with Metadata with Jared Platt

Stop searching. Start finding. Your photos are one search away — if you set this up right.

You remember taking that shot. You know it exists. But now you're digging through folders, scrolling through tens of thousands of thumbnails, or hunting across multiple drives trying to locate it. That's not a storage problem — it's a metadata problem, and it's completely fixable.  Metadata is the invisible layer of information attached to every photo you take, and when it's working for you, finding any image in a catalog of hundreds of thousands takes seconds. When it's not, every search is a gamble.

 

In this class, Jared Platt will show you exactly how to build a metadata system that makes your entire photo library searchable and retrievable on demand. You'll learn how keywords, star ratings, color labels, IPTC fields, Smart Collections, and GPS data work together inside Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop — and more importantly, how to add that metadata quickly enough that you'll actually use it. Jared will also show you how to automate much of the process so your organizational system builds itself in the background while you focus on shooting and editing.

 

This class is designed for photographers who are already using any version of Lightroom but feel like their catalog is getting out of control. No prior experience with metadata is required — but by the end, you'll be using it like a pro.

 

Tools covered: Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Desktop, and select organizational plugins.

In this class, we’ll use masks to improve wildlife photos while keeping the edit natural. You’ll learn how to bring more attention to the animal, improve detail where it matters, reduce distractions, and shape the light around the subject.
Wildlife editing can go wrong quickly when the subject becomes too sharp, too bright, or too separated from the environment. This class focuses on practical edits that make the animal look better while still feeling like it belongs in the scene.
In this class, you will learn…

By the end of the class, you’ll have a clear workflow for using masks to improve your wildlife images while keeping them realistic.

3:00pm Presets and Profiles — Why You Need Both with Colin Smith

If you're still editing one photo at a time, Lightroom Classic's latest update is about to give you back hours of your life — Adaptive Presets, AI mask syncing, Auto-Sync, and the brand-new background processing for Denoise, Enhance, and AI adjustments mean you can keep editing while big batches crunch quietly in the background. In this class, master portrait retoucher Kristina Sherk breaks down her favorite batch editing methods, when to reach for each one, and which workflows survive the jump from a single portrait to a 50-image headshot session. AI hasn't replaced the need for a thoughtful editing eye — it's just made it possible to apply your eye consistently across hundreds of images with a single keystroke. You'll watch Kristi batch-edit portraits using face-aware Adaptive Presets that adjust intelligently to each subject, then see the same principles applied to landscape and event photography. You'll walk away with a repeatable batch workflow that turns your slowest, most tedious editing days into your fastest.

10:00am Traveling with Lightroom with Jared Platt

Lighter kit, faster edits, better photos — your complete on-the-road workflow.

Traveling with a camera means traveling with a problem: the photos pile up fast, the editing time doesn't exist, the backup situation is sketchy, and by the time you get home you're staring at a week's worth of unprocessed images and wondering where to start. Meanwhile, the photos you meant to share while you were traveling are already old news.  It doesn't have to work that way.

 

In this class, Jared Platt lays out a complete travel photography workflow built around the entire Lightroom ecosystem — one that lets you ingest, cull, edit, back up, and share images every night on the road without it eating your whole evening. You'll learn how to structure your travel kit for a lightweight but fully functional mobile editing setup, how to use Lightroom's cloud sync to keep your files safe and accessible across devices in real time, and how to get edited, share-ready images out to clients or social media while you're still on location. You'll also learn how daily photo reviews on the road actually make you a better photographer — because processing what you shot today sharpens how you shoot tomorrow.

 

This class is suited for both enthusiast and professional photographers who travel with their camera regularly and want a workflow that keeps pace with the trip instead of waiting until they get home.

5:00pm THE ART OF THE EDIT: Unlocking the full creative potential in your photographs with Clifford Pickett

Many photographs exist as pure potential, possessing all of the ingredients needed to become a beautiful image, just waiting to be revealed.   Photography is about more than simply capturing an image… it’s a creative process begins with a vision, continues through the moment of capture, and reaches its full expression in the edit.  What’s missing is a strategy.  In this session, Cliff will guide you through a powerful framework designed to unlock the hidden potential in your images. You’ll learn how to edit with intention, aligning every creative choice with your unique vision and style. Most importantly, you’ll discover how people actually perceive images, so you can craft edits that not only reflect your voice, but truly resonate with your audience on a deeper level.

- Cliff’s VISUAL ROADMAP:  An editing strategy grounded in human psychology designed to provide clarity in knowing  EXACTLY what to do when editing your photos, taking the guesswork out of the process. 
- The Preset Pathway - The anti-preset.  Cliff’s proprietary step-by-step system guiding you through every decision of the editing process, placing the full power of the Lightroom develop module at your fingertips and ultimately assisting you in creating your own look and personalized preset.  Capture and develop your own vision.  Effortlessly.  

- Live demonstration of Clfif’s vision-centric top-down editing process, focused on perspective and vision and psychological perception (the WHY) rather than a ground up (HOW) approach to tools and sliders. 

- Stop randomly moving sliders hoping it will improve your photos and start editing with a strategy and clear plan in accordance with your vision and a clear understanding of what actually makes a photo better.
