CLASS OVERVIEW
Sometimes you need a little strange. Maybe you have an image that can’t be salvaged using traditional photo editing, or maybe you’re just in the mood for some off-road creative exploration. Whatever the reason, Lightroom and Photoshop are both well-stocked with tools that get as artsy-fartsy as your heart desires. In this session, we’ll explore methods to convert your photos to non-photographic art, from pencil sketch to oil paint and beyond. It’s not normal, but it’s FUN!

LIGHTROOM CLASSIC VERSION INFO
In Lightroom Classic Version 11 and Later, Adobe introduced a new way to make selections and masks in the Lightroom Develop Module. If you’re using Lightroom Classic 11 or Later, we recommend purchasing New Masking Magic in Lightroom Classic 11 in addition to this product to get up to speed on the new masking tools.
