Joe Brady will explore both basic and advanced image editing techniques. During this session, he’ll focus on the new editing capabilities offered in this upgrade - in future sessions, Joe will explore the new modules and Lightroom file organization.

One of the new additions to Lightroom 4 is its ability to soft-proof. Now users can choose their printer profile and see what effects it will have on the printed image. I'm really looking forward to checking this out.

Here are some topics photographer Joe Brady will cover:
