Lightroom to Photoshop and Back Again- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2019-03-31 08:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Hunt’s Photo, Providence, 571 N. Main St, Providence, RI, 02904, United States
Hunt’s Photo Education often promotes the idea of using Adobe Lightroom for most basic editing, as the program’s interface for editing multiple images is fairly intuitive and is designed specifically for photographers. Lightroom can do quite a bit, but there are times when Adobe Photoshop can do a better job. But where can we benefit from using Photoshop as opposed to Lightroom?
Our course, Lightroom to Photoshop and Back Again, does exactly what the title says, by starting in Lightroom, then bringing images into Photoshop, and then sending them back to Lightroom. We will begin by making basic changes to the images in Lightroom, then bring them to Photoshop to fine-tune them and make the corrections that we either cannot make in Lightroom or ones that would be easier or better quality to make in Photoshop. Since Lightroom functions as an organizer as well as an editor, we will finish by bringing the images back into Lightroom.
In this course we will learn:
•When and why to use PS over LR
•What are Layers?
•Basic Photoshop workflow
•Removing objects
•Basic adjustments
•Adding text
We recommend bringing a laptop for this class with Adobe Lightroom CC Classic and Adobe Photoshop CC installed. Please be advised: Lightroom CC Classic and Photoshop CC are the only versions we recommend for this class. Please make sure they are both downloaded and make sure you can open them prior to arriving. Also, please be advised that Adobe Photoshop Elements and older versions of Photoshop have very different layouts and will not translate as well for this class.

Macro & Tabletop Workshop- Capture & Edit Edition- Hunt's Photo, Holyoke
2019-04-06 10:00 - 17:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Holyoke, 98 Lower Westfield Rd, Holyoke, MA, 01040, United States
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our Macro & Tabletop Workshop, Capture & Edit Edition! In this workshop, we will combine the fun of photographing macro and tabletop setups with editing and processing of images.
Too often we feel that our photography comes to a halt during inclement weather. However, there is ample opportunity to make use of our creativity while staying indoors. Many household items– cut flowers, books, antiques, jewelry, and glassware– all make for wonderful subjects while using natural window light. Every table in your house can become a landscape of opportunity with some imagination and creativity.
We will begin with a short presentation on macro photography, how to use specific gear, how to light, and how to compose macro photographs. We will then spend the next portion of our day creating a variety of still life set ups and unique macro scenarios using a variety of lights and light modifiers. We will then transition to the processing of images, working individually on your own personal laptops. We will finish with a brief critique of images.
We recommend bringing a laptop with Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop installed for editing.
This workshop is recommended for anyone who wants to get more creative with their photography, both in camera and in post-production!
Approximate schedule for the day:
10am- Introductions, presentation on macro, gear, lighting, settings, etc
11am- Photographing of macro setups
2pm- Short lunch break; quick cleanup of macro setups (Attendees are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch and take a short break during this time) After lunch, we will work on post-processing of images.
4pm- Review & critique
5pm- End of day
Please note: Depending on how many attendees we receive, we may hold this workshop at a different nearby location with more space, rather than in the store. We will detail this in our reminder email a few days prior to the event and will not be far from our Holyoke store.

2019-04-09 18:00 - 20:30 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
How do we edit an image to make the best print possible? Which images work for print and which do not? What paper should we print on? How should we edit for each paper? In this roundtable class, we will work with your images, discuss and process them, and discuss the printing process. We ask attendees to bring in three images on a USB drive (RAW, if possible) that they may want to print. We will review the images and choose one to edit in Adobe Lightroom and then send it to print.
Attendees are also welcome to bring their laptop to work on the images during class for submission. We will gladly assist on any editing you would like to do.
Attendees will leave with one print, 12×18 in size (printed on 13×19 paper) and a bit more knowledge on the process of editing and printing, not to mention the knowledge of how to take the photograph better in the field for next time.
This is a class that you can take as many times as you’d like. Since you’re constantly working with new images, you’re always working out new challenges!
In the class, we will have a variety of paper options to choose from, including Moab Fine Art papers. (The cost of an 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
Come see your images, printed vibrantly in a large format!

Capture to Print featuring Sunrise at Marginal Way & Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, Maine
2019-04-13 05:00 - 14:30
Printing your photos will make you a better photographer. The first step to creating a great print is by understanding how to create a great photograph in the field.
Capture-To-Print is an intermediate workshop that focuses not only on photography, but also editing and printing! Half photo workshop, half editing and printing, we will take you through the whole process–from Capture to Print— to demonstrate what is important in the field, how to effectively process photos, and why printing is a necessity.
We will begin at Marginal Way & Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine for sunrise. We will emphasize how to get the best results in the field for the best end result, including focus, exposure, and more. At 9am, we will break from shooting and make our way back to the classroom at our S. Portland location, about 45 minutes away. We will reconvene at 10:30am. (Attendees are encouraged to get breakfast in the meantime.)

Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop on their computer or a comparable program. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time. Shortly after noon, we will view these edits, critique, and discuss them with the rest of the class while also creating 13×19″ prints.
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a photograph. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.

Advanced Printing Techniques- Printing in Adobe Lightroom- Hunt's Photo, South Portland
2019-04-20 10:00 - 13:00 | Hunt’s Photo, South Portland, 220 Maine Mall Rd, South Portland, Maine, 04106
For ages, darkroom printing was an art form that was destined only for those that had a darkroom. Now they practically give digital printers away, and what darkroom techniques were sequestered to your basement can now be duplicated in a corner office.
But Digital Printing, while simple in concept, has a myriad number of curiosities and questions associated with it. Among the issues printers run into are color correction, proper exposure, ability to utilize multiple papers, understanding how to edit for print, how to print in black and white, and why and when to use certain tools. In this course, we will answer these questions, as well as refer back to some of the more basic elements of digital printing, including ICC profiles, monitor calibration, and more!
This class is for anyone that has set up their printer and understands some of the basic concept of printing, but is having issues producing consistent results, or wants to go further in understanding how to achieve the best printing results! We love printing, and we want to share that love of printing with you! You do not need to own a printer, but it helps. We recommend Canon or Epson.
While the time is limited, we invite you to bring one or two potential images with you (on a memory card or thumb drive) that may be used in the class for demonstration. RAW files are recommended.
For more basic techniques in printing, our Intro to Digital Printing course is recommended.

Capture to Print, ft. Roger Williams Park Zoo
2019-08-10 10:00 - 18:00

Half photo workshop, half editing and printing, we will take you through the whole process–from Capture to Print— to demonstrate what is important in the field, how to effectively process photos, and why printing is a necessity.
We all want to take excellent quality photos of wild animals in their natural habitat, but those habitats are not always easily accessible. And when in that situation, do we have the ability to make those split second decisions on what to do with our camera? Zoos are an excellent opportunity to hone those skills with the real thing. Zoos also provide different challenges, including fencing, windows, and more. If we can overcome those challenges, the result can be stunning, especially in print form!
We will begin at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island for a morning of photographing the animals, specifically emphasizing how to set in the field for the best end result, including focus, exposure, and more. At 1pm, we will break from shooting and make our way back to the classroom at our Providence location. We will reconvene at 2pm. (Attendees are encouraged to get lunch in the meantime.)
We will then transition from photographing to editing, which will include discussion of certain techniques. Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop on their computer or a comparable program. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time. Shortly after 4pm, we will view these edits, critique, and discuss them with the rest of the class while also creating 13×19″ prints.

Capture-To-Print is an intermediate workshop that focuses not only on photography, but also editing and printing! Half photo workshop, half editing and printing, we will take you through the whole process–from Capture to Print— to demonstrate what is important in the field, how to effectively process photos, and why printing is a necessity.
On this version of Capture to Print, we will have a late afternoon/sunset photo walk covering three of Portland, Maine’s most photogenic lighthouses. We’ll start at Bug Light Park to photograph the beloved Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, also known as Bug Light, before we head a couple of blocks over to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, on the campus of Southern Maine Community College. Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is also the site of Fort Preble, a military fort which was in use from 1802 to 1906. We’ll explore the many opportunities this location offers, and then head another few miles west to Cape Elizabeth to capture the sunset at Portland Head Lighthouse. Portland Head is located on the grounds of Fort Williams Park, an old military fort dating back to the Spanish American War. We will explore the grounds and various vantage points on the lighthouse, and end up in one of the classic spots for sunset.
The next morning, we will then transition from photographing to editing. Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop on their computer or a comparable program. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time.

Editing Using Capture One- Exposure, Layer, Color Grading, & More- Hunt's Photo, S. Portland
2020-01-18 10:00 - 14:00
Capture One is one of the most popular and professional photo editing softwares on the market. It’s a complete photo editor that allows for extensive color editing, the ability to work with layers in an image, tethered shooting, and more in a fairly easy-to-use package! Capture One also boasts extensive camera and lens profiles for many brands, emphasizing not just Canon and Nikon, but also Fuji, Sony and others.
In this course we will learn:
•General program layout
•Basics of exposure controls
•Layers- what they are, how and when to use them
•Color editing tools
•Spot Removal Tool
•Tethering basics
Come join us as we explore this fascinating program!
Why choose Capture One vs. Adobe Lightroom? This program can be seen as an addition to or replacement for Adobe Lightroom. Capture One’s interface focuses on processing of images without having to create catalogs of images, allowing one to focus primarily on what’s important in images: Exposure, spot correction, color, and more. Capture One’s biggest advantage over Lightroom is its robust color processing capabilities, which allow one to work in a straightforward way to properly render color. Capture One is also one of the few professional photo editing softwares that is available to purchase, rather than Adobe’s leasing with monthly payments. But rest assured- We’re not biased! Our instructors have both Capture One and Lightroom!
We recommend bringing a laptop for this class with Capture One Pro 12 installed. Please be advised: Capture One Pro 12 is the only version we recommend for this class. Please make sure the program is downloaded and make sure you can open it prior to arriving. Note:The other major version of this program, Capture One Express, does not offer the same editing capabilities (specifically the inability to work with Layers). We are happy to work with you in a 1-on-1 environment, as this class will likely not be suitable for Express.

It’s a complete photo editor that allows for extensive color editing, the ability to work with layers in an image, tethered shooting, and more in a fairly easy-to-use package! Capture One also boasts extensive camera and lens profiles for many brands, emphasizing not just Canon and Nikon, but also Fuji, Sony and others.
In this course we will learn:
•General program layout
•Basics of exposure controls
•Layers- what they are, how and when to use them
•Color editing tools
•Spot Removal Tool
•Tethering basics
Come join us as we explore this fascinating program!
Why choose Capture One vs. Adobe Lightroom? This program can be seen as an addition to or replacement for Adobe Lightroom. Capture One’s interface focuses on processing of images without having to create catalogs of images, allowing one to focus primarily on what’s important in images: Exposure, spot correction, color, and more. Capture One’s biggest advantage over Lightroom is its robust color processing capabilities, which allow one to work in a straightforward way to properly render color. Capture One is also one of the few professional photo editing softwares that is available to purchase, rather than Adobe’s leasing with monthly payments. But rest assured- We’re not biased! Our instructors have both Capture One and Lightroom!
We recommend bringing a laptop for this class with Capture One Pro 12 installed. Please be advised: Capture One Pro 12 is the only version we recommend for this class. Please make sure the program is downloaded and make sure you can open it prior to arriving. Note:The other major version of this program, Capture One Express, does not offer the same editing capabilities (specifically the inability to work with Layers). We are happy to work with you in a 1-on-1 environment, as this class will likely not be suitable for Express.

Online: Editing Essentials in Lightroom
2020-03-25 13:00 - 14:30, 2020-03-30 13:00 - 14:30
In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! (Hey! We wanted to do it anyway, this just sped up the process!) These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
You’ve taken a fantastic image and you understand the basics of editing in Adobe Lightroom. So what’s the problem? Have we made it good enough? Have we made the right steps along the way? How can we make it better? This class is all about editing one of your images.
Leading up to this class, we will ask for 2-3 images (RAW, if possible) from you in order to edit ONE of them in class. We will do this with each of our 6-8 attendees and in the end, we will have discussed a whole slew of topics that will (hopefully) make you a better editor!
We are constantly asked: Who should take this class? What if you’re new to Lightroom? Yes- because you’ll see the possibilities in the program! What if you don’t use Lightroom? Sure! We will be using Lightroom, but the concepts are very similar throughout other similar programs. What if you just use a cell phone or shoot only in JPEG? I don’t see why not! Just because you shoot in JPEG or with a cell phone doesn’t mean you can’t edit your photos. This is a great all-encompassing class, working out challenges for all levels!
This is a class that you can take as many times as you’d like. Since you’re constantly working with new images, you’re always working out new challenges!
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that you have signed up. About 48 hours prior to the class time, we will send out an email with the weblink for you to follow as well as information on how to access the class online. (It’s pretty easy, but we’ll walk you through it in a quick online video!)
At that time, we will also send you a link to upload 2-3 images.
Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Basic Digital Printing (Printing with Lightroom)
2020-04-01 15:00 - 16:15

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
The time has come to tame digital printing! With the low price of excellent quality digital printers, what was once an elite craft is now much more manageable for the average photographer. This course briefly covers the basics questions of printing, including editing suggestions, color management tools and settings, paper styles and finishes, printing recommendations, and troubleshooting on how to avoid those nasty pitfalls that can occur along the way. Whether you use Canon, Epson or HP, the concepts in this course remain the same.
This class also focuses on printing using Lightroom specifically. Being able to print from Lightroom allows you to complete all of your tasks specifically in one rather than multiple programs. Even if you do not own or use Lightroom, the concepts within this class are fairly global and these concepts can be translated to other programs. We will also discuss printing using these other programs.
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that you have signed up.

Online: Lightroom v. Capture One- Comparing the Programs (Free!)
2020-04-09 13:00 - 14:30
In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! (Hey! We wanted to do it anyway, this just sped up the process!) These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Adobe Lightroom Classic and Capture One are two major, but very similar, programs that allow you to organize, edit, process, and export images. So, which one do you go with? Well, for years it’s been a fairly easy choice, as the mighty Adobe reigns supreme over the editing world while Capture One has been a distant second. (And no, we’re not including Adobe Photoshop in this comparison, as it is a very different program.) Why is Capture One worth considering? Should one stick with just Lightroom?
This class is, of course, a Pandora’s box that we’re opening, because it begs the question of all editing software. However, these two top performing softwares are worth comparing for what the both have and do not have. We’ll spend the afternoon looking at a side-by-side comparison of the two programs and answer questions that attendees have about the two.
Come find out what you need to know about Lightroom and Capture One, and see where they stack up!
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that will include information about how to access the online class, including an online ID code that you will need to get into the class.
