How to Share Photos to Social Media from Lightroom

Interview with Pro Photographer Brian Ach

In the new episode, we chat with photographer, educator, ...
How to Use Lightroom Mobile while Traveling
One of my photo workshop participants wrote with a question: She’s going on a trip and wants to use her iPad and Lightroom Mobile just for the trip, without syncing her existing photo library to the device. Is it possible? In my latest article for CreativePro, I explain how to use the iPad as a ...
PhotoActive Episode 38: Levels and Curves with Nik Bhatt
The new episode of my PhotoActive podcast takes a detailed look at using Levels and Curves controls to adjust tones in photos. I first learned how to edit using levels, so for me, although I’ve written about them and used them, curves have never been intuitive. This episode was a real eye-opener. Kirk McElhearn and ...
