Most basic Photoshop classes are designed for people new to editing. They tend to cover lots of things Lightroom users already know how to do, such as tonal adjustments and cropping. Photoshop for Lightroom Users was designed specifically for Lightroom Classic CC users who are ready to add the additional power of Photoshop to their editing workflow. This workshop enables students to focus on the aspects of Photoshop they need to know without wasting time with concepts they already know don’t need to learn.
