Tool Review Trail Introduction

We will isolate the tools we have in Lightroom and Photoshop, to be able to break up our workflows to improve them. We will search for the best, most efficient and easiest to use tools to do the job.

Photoshop

Photoshop tools are peak Photoshop. Developed more than twenty years ago thinking more about math than photography. They represent the best and the worst about Photoshop. They require knowledge, practice, and planning. If unchecked they can easily destroy your image.

Lightroom

Developed twenty after Photoshop’s birth Lightroom grants us with a much modern RAW environment, but even more a place semantically closer to photography: Even thought its tools do not share the flexibility and perhaps fantasy than Photoshop’s ones, they are continuously developed and maintained.

Please note

The following video previews are here to publicly give an idea of the direction I'm taking. To access these you need an active subscription to the Videocourse or Workshop.
