‘A picture tells a
thousand words’
Storytelling photography is the art of
telling compelling and captivating stories
through pictures.
As for me, there’s no better
story shared than from the
people themselves.

Digital Editing Group
2024-02-19 20:00 - 22:00 | Melbourne Camera Club, 254 Ferrars St, South Melbourne, VIC, Australia
As the level of understanding of digital editing techniques varies enormously among members, we will aim to provide information to members at basic, intermediate and advanced levels in each meeting.
The focus is not on how to capture an image, but on what can be done with it in post-processing after downloading the images to your computer. Topics such as adjusting exposure and saturation, compositing, HDR and special effects will be just some of the areas covered. The digital editing techniques discussed will primarily be applicable to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, however these techniques are generally transferable to many other digital editing programs.
We will be looking at:
Lightroom vs Lightroom Classic – recent changes may make Lightroom more appealing to you.
Refining “Select subject” in Lightroom versions and Camera Raw.
Photoshop hidden tricks.
If time permits, a start to finish edit.
