Lightroom Editing and Workflow Tutorial

Write instructions for yourself on your workflow process following along with my example.

The video below documents my editing workflow using Adobe Lightroom including:

  • Overview of Lightroom
  • Importing images and making contact sheets
  • Culling and rating images
  • Editing: exposure, creating depth, white balance, tone curve, HSL/colours and local adjustment panel
  • File Organisation and Backing up

In your visual diary, write instructions for yourself on your workflow include screenshots of your file organisation, photos in Lightroom etc. to show the process.

Screenshot before and afters of your edits.


Suggested template for reflection:
  • What did you learn from this task? (Use “I can…” as a sentence starter)
  • What did you like about this task?
  • What was difficult? (Use “I am struggling with…” as a sentence starter)
  • How did you solve problems?
  • Is your image successful, if so, why?
  • What adjustments (edits) did you do to your image? (include before and after and camera settings if available)
  • What else could you change if you had more time or resources?
