Host: Darrel Priebe

Details: Darrel Priebe demonstrates the techniques in detail that you can use to create a backscreened print in Lightroom, and then overlay color prints and text on top to create a dazzling composite image. In this intermediate to advanced Lightroom presentation on Zoom we will start with a few pictures assembled with an eye for creating a multi-photo composite that tells a story of beauty and love. Using Lightroom modules in a creative manner, we will blend our images in ways that most photographers think can only be done in Photoshop. The result will both surprise and delight you!
