Content Credentials/Authenticity

I keep coming acorss Content Credentials/Authenticity ( CAI / C2PA ) discussed on the web and I understand Lightroom has support for this, not sure about Classic. Maybe only a short topic for a Q&A session covering 1) what is it? 2) why would I use it? 3) how do I use it in Lightroom […]

Lightroom on iPad

I recently updatd my iPad to an iPad Pro that has a decent amount of processing power. It would be good to get Ben’s expertise on how to use Lightroom on the iPad: how to store local files, cloud files, editing tools and sending to Photoshop on the iPad. I know Lightroom on the iPad […]

High Key post processing

Hi Ben, I could not find high key using search so I think High Key images would make a good topic, brief intro into how to capture the photo exposure wise, then detail on how to post process in Adobe Photoshop. I have seen several different methods on the web so thinking there must be […]

Migrating to new Keyword set

Hi Ben a topic I think would be good to cover is how to migrate from one keyword set to another. What steps would be required to ensure tagged photos retain their keywords when migrating to a new Keyword set. I would like to do this as my current keyword set is not ideal and […]

Could you use it to replace Lightroom Classic? I use hierarchical keywords e.g. for my wildlife photos I have full classification family genus specues etc. […]

Texture blending

I was thinking this could make a great mini series of workshops 1) How to create your own textures e.g. using brushes and layers or taking photos of interesting textures 2) How […]

HEIF file format

Hi Ben, my new mirrorless camera has the option for HEIF photos and videos. Maybe it is a suitable topic for a Masters Academy lesson. E.g. what is HEIF format, the benefits (does it have wider color gamut?) and disadvantages, how to process HEIF photo and video formats in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Neutral Density Color Balancing

Hi Ben, neutral density filters are a useful photography tool, however they all cause a color cast to a varying degree. I was thinking of using curves in Photoshop to correct this rather than trying to find a suitable gray sample point in Lightroom. Could you take a sample photo with and without the ND […]

Lightroom Denoise Deep Dive

Hi Ben, your lesson on the new Lightroom features including AI Denoise was interesting It made me want to understand more and I believe there is merit in a lesson dedicated to noise reduction in Lightroom. Like many wildlife photographers I take a lot of high ISO photos so noise reduction is a key part […]
