Effortless Editing with Lightroom Information

How to Effortlessly Edit Your Photos in Less Than 15 Minutes (Even if You Have Hundreds of Photos to Edit)

• What if you knew you could edit hundreds of photos in minutes, not hours… would you find the task less daunting?
• My name is Josh Dunlop, and here’s something few people know… You can edit your photos in Lightroom, 10x better than you can imagine now, just by following a simple process.
• Pictures so striking and vibrant that others might accuse you of outsourcing your processing to a professional. You don’t need a PhD in computer science, and you don’t need expensive training.
• And I’m going to prove it to you.

Take a look at this…

I took this picture before discovering what I’m about to share with you.

As you can see, it’s a decent picture, and I was OK at editing, but it won’t win any awards.

Now look at this…

I edited this picture just a couple of days later. Same photo, same computer, same software…

How I Became a Great Photo Editor…

When I first started with Adobe Lightroom, I was a lousy editor.

I was reluctant to process my photos in the first place, and I had a ton of preconceived ideas about what processing my photos meant…

• I thought it had to take hours to go through a single photoshoot. But the reality is there’s a quick and easy way to edit photos fast.
• I thought that the file management system in Lightroom was complicated and broken. The truth is it’s rather simple, once you have the right “roadmap”.
• I thought it was almost unethical to edit my photos. But it turns out I was letting them down by not processing the raw files properly.

I started with old-school film photography, so editing my photos always felt like cheating. But the truth is, great photographers like Ansel Adams understood the power of processing their photos better than anyone.

It wasn’t until I attended a private closed-door workshop with Lightroom Master, Casey Kiernan (a co-instructor of mine) that I was finally able to master Lightroom editing.

I took everything I learned from that workshop (and everything I’ve learned in the years since then) to transform my portfolio and produce the images that you now see on this page.

The process is simple, and so much faster than I thought it could be… And by learning how to edit my photos, my portfolio took a quantum leap forward.

Here’s what you’ll learn

• The exact workflow we use 100% of the time – (It’s a myth that you have to start at the top and end at the bottom!)
• The best way to fix skin blemishes in just a few clicks
• How to add life and detail to your raw files by using your histogram and sliders
• Why most photographers skip the lens correction… and how you can use this tool to your advantage
• The fastest way to edit all your photos at once
• The lazy man’s way to create panoramas without exporting to Photoshop or cropping
• How to save more time by creating and using your own presets
• Where and how to crop and straighten for maximum results (because YES, cropping is OK!)
• How to use a ‘surgeon’s scalpel’ to change individual colours
• The do’s and don’ts of vignetting and dehazing
• 5 simple edits I never skip (and you shouldn’t either)
• The hidden preview for your sharpening sliders that professionals always use
• The only background blur tool you’ll ever need and how to make it easy to use
• How to transform the perspective of your photo with the click of a button
• And much, much more…
