From Scan to Finished Image: Lightroom for Film Photography (JUNE 13/27)

You've just received your digital scans back from the film lab—now what?As you continue shooting, it becomes easier for your files to stack up—and harder to locate, organize, and fully utilize the images you care about. This hands-on workshop is designed to help you build a clear, efficient workflow so your images don’t just sit in folders, but become accessible, editable, and ready for print or presentation.While this class focuses on film photography, digital photographers are welcome and encouraged to attend. The core principles apply across both mediums: organizing your archive, streamlining your editing process, and turning your images into polished, finished work.
