Free-Edit Live & Online: Session 4 - Waterfalls

Join me for a free, interactive online editing session focused on waterfall images. This hour-long Zoom session offers a behind-the-scenes look at my editing process as I work on one or two previously unseen waterfall photos.

This is not a structured tutorial, but rather a live, freestyle editing session. I'll be working with images in real-time, making decisions on the spot. The techniques covered will depend entirely on what each image needs, giving you insight into a genuine editing workflow.

The session is designed to be casual, friendly, and relaxed. You're welcome to simply watch and listen, or actively participate by asking questions throughout the edit. At the end of the session, we'll have a brief Q&A to address any additional queries.

The Editing Process

I'll be demonstrating my workflow using various tools, including Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, as well as discussing some of the plugins and additional software I use to enhance my images. You may see how I prepare photos for both printing and social media sharing. While some familiarity with photo editing software would be beneficial, all skill levels are welcome to join and learn.

This session is open to all photographers, regardless of the camera brand you use. Whether you're new to editing or looking to refine your skills, you'll have the opportunity to pick up tips and techniques that you can apply to your own workflow.
