Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - (Latest Version, at present version 3)

Lightroom is probably the best software available for gaining the very best image from your RAW File and also from your JPEG file.

During a Lightroom workshop I will take you through the important Library and Develop Modules, showing you all of the ways in which I find Lightroom invaluable. If it interests you, I can show you the rudimentals of the Slideshow and web modules (which I use for my own website galleries).

So much can be achieved now, in Lightroom that file time in Photoshop becomes much briefer.
