Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is the most multi-faceted tool in the image editing world. At its basic level, it is a Raw processor that plugs into Photoshop so you can edit Raw images before they go to Ps for processing. However, ACR can take you well beyond the basics and accomplish some pretty advanced tasks.  In this foundations course, we are going to take an intense dive into the world of Raw editing inside Adobe Camera Raw. We are going to discuss everything from the setup and interface of ACR to saving your images in mass and everything that happens in between. This is your one-stop shop for learning ACR from the ground up.

I have never been one to photograph people, but I have never been into Wildlife photography either. It seems 2021 has been the year of learning for me. That’s exactly what this Case Study/Course is all about.  I recently went to the Warbirds Photography Workshop to learn Portrait Photography in a B-29 hangar with my all-time favorite portrait photographer, Joel Grimes. I was an attendee, not an instructor, and it was liberating to put myself in the student’s chair and soak up all the knowledge I could from Joel.  I learned a lot, but what I learned was NOT what I expected to learn. What I expected to learn was a bunch of lighting jargon and equations for lights and light modifiers in a slightly impersonal setting.  What I got instead was a fresh look at lighting. Joel demystified it, made it SO simple, and was the most engaging instructor I have met in a long time.

The Best Blend Mode in the World: Linear Light
It’s not often we think of a Blend Mode as being the best thing since sliced bread. But, I gotta tell ya out of all Photoshop’s 28 Blend Modes, there is one that rules them all. There is one Blend Mode that can handle any task you throw at it with unprecedented results. It’s NOT Soft Light, it’s Linear Light!
For the last several months I have been documenting every task I have used the Linear Light Blend Mode with and the list is exhaustive! I found that I use it with everything from Noise Reduction & Sharpening to Color Grading and Dodging and Burning. Really, there is no other Blend Mode that is quite as versatile.
In this course, I will cover all the ways I use the Linear Light Blend Mode. I am 100% positive your workflow will change for the better when you start implementing the use of the Linear Light Blend Mode more often.

Masking in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom is not easy. You have a whole new interface with several new mask additions and they threw out the concept of the Adjustment Tools like bad bathwater. Several items have been rearranged and the whole Add, Subtract, and Intersect Mask thing… Forget about it!

Or should you forget about it?
Would that be the best idea for your workflow?

Absolutely not! The Masking area in ACR and Lightroom that came packaged with the Photoshop CC 2022 release is incredible! While there are several changes to the way we worked in the past, it is all for the better, I promise.

In this course, I will help break down some of the barriers you may have with the Masking tools. I will supply you with knowledge and some incredible presets that use the principles of my Zone System Express as their base.

After this course, not only will you be making better masks with the presets I have built, but you will know how to make your own and how to use this new feature to its maximum potential!
