Lightroom Develop ModuleAre you a photographer just getting started with Lightroom, or someone who has used Lightroom for a while and is struggling to master its real power? This workshop was created especially for you!

During two intensive, hands-on sessions, you will learn not only how to make every picture look its best, but also how to tie all the steps together into a fast, efficient workflow that you can use again and again.

Regardless of your previous experience or the kinds of photography you do, you’ll come away from this workshop with the skills to use Lightroom like a pro. If you're a wedding or portrait photographer, you will learn how to produce client proofs fast and prepare final files for printing by a lab. Nature photographers will learn how to perfect each individual photo in Lightroom and make fine art prints. And everyone will learn professional tips and tricks that will take your photography to the next level.

We will also cover in detail all the new features in Lightroom 3!

What other photographers are saying...

“Nat is a gifted instructor. Learning Lightroom from his personal instruction and book, and attending numerous field workshops, I can say without hesitation that Nat is the best photography instructor with whom I have worked. Nat meticulously plans lessons and workshops, he works tirelessly so that his students can get the most out of their time whether in class or in the field. He goes the extra mile by being available to answer questions and critique photographs. I enthusiastically recommend Nat.”
Tom T.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the personal instruction sessions I have had with Nat. Not only is he knowledgeable in the field of photography, he adapts very well to all skill levels in a group and makes sure he pays attention to the matters or questions at hand.”
Chanel P.

“I've taken both group and private instruction from Nat. He is an excellent teacher who makes complex technical subjects easy to understand and implement. He's gotten me up the learning curve so I can now use all of Lightroom's tools productively and easily. Participating in his workshops has helped me become a better photographer.”
Ron C.

“My workflow has changed tremendously, and for the better, since taking Nat's class. I now have more control over my editing process, which has become more streamlined. Thanks to some tips given by Nat, I now feel good enough to shoot entirely in RAW. I can't wait to delve deeper with more instruction.”
Sheba W.

“When I was looking for a guy who knew what he was doing when it came to improving my photographic workflow I knew that Nathaniel Coalson was the right guy soon as I met him. Nat is passionate in his love of photography and workflow ideology. Working with Nat has greatly improved my photographic workflow from the initial composition of the image through final processing. Nat's post-processing and image management techniques have improved my workflow to the point where I don't dread processing thousands of images from a trip anymore. This in and of itself is a huge benefit to me. I look forward to continuing my education with Nat in the future to continually improve my photography.”
James C.
