Lightroom has grown from a cataloging application with basic editing capabilities to an advancing post-processing program capable of tackling a huge range of creative needs. If you are new to using Lightroom and feeling like the full gamut of features is a bit daunting, check out this fantastic video tutorial that features an experienced pro showing you 59 Lightroom terms and tools you will need to know in order to get around the program.
Coming to you from Nate Torres, this awesome video tutorial will show you the ins and outs of 59 Lightroom terms and features. While you do not need to have every term committed to memory, Lightroom is a more intricate program than many people realize, and it can be easy to overlook some truly useful functions that can make your work more efficient and enable new creative approaches. As such, in addition to learning these tools and the basics about how they function, it is good to get in the practice of keeping an eye on new features as they come out. In fact, occasionally, advancements are so significant that they will rewire your editing workflow and maybe even inspire you to return to old images to give them a new look. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Torres.
I have a soft spot for all those professionals out there who feel they don’t fit the mold. Queer, neurodivergent or unique in some other way, they know what it feels like to not belong to the dominant culture. They choose careers that allow them to be of service to others. Lawyers who provide immigration services to LBGTQ individuals, doctors who treat the elderly who cannot advocate for themselves, environmental policy makers…whatever the content of their careers, they strive to contribute in a meaningful way.
