This course teaches the digital workflow Kevin Landwer-Johan has developed over many years. It will give you the confidence to choose your best photos and identify the ones you will never use.
Using Adobe Lightroom, you will carefully go through the processes of:

– Culling your photos
– Comparing and choosing your best photos
– Refining the selection method
– Finalizing your selection

This course also teaches you the essentials of his workflow developed over many years, beginning in the 1980s when he first started working in the newspaper photography department. The instructor teaches you how to overcome the difficulty of recognizing and selecting your best images through clearly defined steps.
