I recently took the ultimate workflow class and thought it was great. I have used Lightroom for years but so I was surprised about the number of new insights I had with respect to Lightroom. Luminar is an interesting tool with some amazing features. But without the class I don’t think I would have ever figured out how to use all these tools effectively together. The class is well thought out and really insightful. I would highly recommend the class and hope that the school develops some follow on classes for more advanced processing with the workflow.

I loved everything about this class. Zoom was great…the next best thing to being there. I had a good knowledge about Lr, but I was weak in Ps and Luminar 4. No worries, this was reviewed in the class and repeatedly gone over. Nick presents the material logically and slowly so everyone had an opportunity to think about what they are doing and you have sufficient time to ask questions. Everyone’s questions were important and everyone was treated special. I can’t believe how much my editing skills improved. Without hesitation I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wanted to improve their post-processing skills.

I signed up for the on-line Ultimate Workflow Class with two points of hesitation: Would the on-line format work? . . . and . . . How could they possibly cover three complex programs in 6 weeks?
Really happy I took the class! The on-line experience was flawless; with an extra advantage of enabling students to work on images at home on their desktop – while Nick demonstrated via Zoom. Plus – no commute or hunt for parking!
The class reviews highlights of Lightroom and Photoshop; then spends the bulk of the time in Luminar. Luminar is a powerful new program with many of the Photoshop benefits (think layers!) in a faster/simpler/more intuitive format.
You’ll leave the class with a workflow for post-processing (When to use each program? How to sequence edits? How to ensure the three applications play nicely together?).
I learned new/practical stuff in every class – highly recommend for individuals who have been using Lightroom/Photoshop – and have started exploring Luminar. It will change how you edit!

Federica is an excellent instructor with consummate knowledge of how to incorporate LR, PS and Luminar into a workflow that can be used as taught or.customized according to one’s preferences. First rate course.

Ultimate Workflow is an exceptionally well-designed course. It weaves Lightroom, Photoshop and Luminar into a very thoughtful workflow – taking advantage of the best of each application. Federica Ghidelli has a great teaching style, and the on-line format works well.

Prior to taking this class i had a basic level of knowledge in Lightroom and Luminar, and no Photoshop experience. The segment on how to import and manage folders and use of keywords is a very useful starting point. The course significantly increased my understanding of all three programs and when to use each or a combination of all three. The online format works well. Highly recommend the course.
