Domestika Basics · 7 courses included

If you want to develop and retouch your photos like the experts, Adobe Lightroom has all the features you need to achieve professional results. According to photographer and Adobe certified expert Daniel Arranz, it's an essential program for his work, as it gives him the power to develop, edit, and correct details with maximum precision. Learn to retouch your photos for any format without sacrificing a pixel of image quality.

In this seven-course Domestika Basics, Daniel Arranz teaches you how to use Lightroom 11.4 from scratch. If you'd like to learn more about retouching, discover Daniel's tips, tricks, and techniques in his previous course Adobe Photoshop for Photo Editing and Retouching.

In the first course, Daniel gives you an introduction to Lightroom and covers fundamental concepts such as what a RAW file is, color space, bit depth, and how to import and export images.

Move on to learning how to read an image's histogram in the second course. Then dive into developing photos as Daniel explains how to adjust basic settings and use the all-powerful color curves.

In the third course, discover how to correct lens distortion and adjust perspective before taking an in-depth look at color and tone, as well as how to save several different versions, or Snapshots, of an image.

The fourth course is all about masks. Find out how to create them manually first, then automatically using artificial intelligence. In the fifth course, go a step further with more advanced concepts, such as how to use multiple masks in the same image for increased precision.

Now it's time to make magic with HDR! In the sixth course, see how to capture a wide spectrum of tones (dynamic range), make panoramas, apply Super resolution, and adapt photos for on-screen viewing and printing.

In the final course of this Domestika Basics, look at how Lightroom compares to Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. By the end, you'll have a powerful command of this versatile software and know how to develop and retouch photos like a professional.
