3 FREE Videos About Understanding Light and Exposure.

My EXposed workshop came out this summer and has been a rousing success. It’s the best work I’ve ever done and I’m thrilled that it’s really changing how people understand and use their light. It’s full of game changing stuff.

Many of you already have EXposed, but for those who don’t I wanted to share. I posted three free excerpts from EXposed, looking at some powerful tools like the Zone System, directing light and more.

Be warned though. Once you see how useful the things we’re studying here are, you’ll probably want the entire series. You can get that too, as a download or DVD on the right here on Seim Effects.

Enjoy, Gavin

FREE Lightroom Workshop Series – 6+ Hours of Training Videos.

by Gavin Seim: Hey folks. I’ve decided to share some archives and post all the recordings from my LIVE Lightroom Power workshops. These cover nearly every critical facet of Lightroom, in order, from start to finish. Last year I hosted this online series and it went well, so I figured you would enjoy them.

Bear in mind these were live shows, so there’s questions and small interruptions mixed in. If you want faster more structured lessons, check out my studio recorded, LR Ninja Series. It’s chapter divided by topic and polished like my other video collections – Either way, whether you use LR already or are just getting started, you’ll get something from these videos.

I’m adding all five videos below. Also direct links should you want to bookmark them to watch later. Each is about 1.5 hours long. Note, that these were recorded using LR3. But while a few features have changed, the significant tools and concepts behind using LR are the same.

This is a total freebie. If you like what you see please share check out the the homepage for my editing collections like Power Workflow 3 and my other workshops like EXposed, a new video series about light that is seriously like nothing else you’ve seen. Check out the trailer below and get the download it here or DVD here. But without further adieu, lets hop to Lightroom videos. Enjoy… Gav

Free LR Workshop – Gavin Seim’s Lightroom Essentials, LIVE

Sometimes mastering basics is the toughest and most foundational part of learning a your software. I do offer a complete LR training series called LR Ninja, but I had this live recording from a webinar I did last year and thought I would share with you all. It’s the complete workshop covering LR Essentials and is about an hour and a half long.

Be aware that since it was live it includes the quick breaks, questions and the like. It was made in LR3 so some minor things are different, but most things work exactly the same. In this workshop we cover Catalogs, Basic Tools, Grid Editing and more. Dive in and enjoy. You can also open it in YT and watch in HD. Start using LR today, or brush up with some new techniques. And if you want more structured and advanced workshops check out LR Ninja.

Enjoy… Gav

Elegance Brushes, Essentials – A Free LR4 Presets Pack

by Gavin Seim: Sometime back I made a little pack of brush presets for Lightroom and it got download over 25,000 times. With the release of Lightroom 4 and it’s new develop tools, I decided it was time to revisit brushes. I started over and made a brand new pack of  free brush presets for LR4. There powerful new tools in LR4 brushes, including white balance, better softening, better tone control and more. If you still use LR2-3 check out the old brushes.

This FREE Essentials pack has six brush presets that cover, well the essentials. For some of you that may be enough. But for the rest..

 

..This time I went further. I made the The Elegance Brush Collection. A complete pack of more than 20 LR4 brushes that cover everything essentials to creative tools like the warming brush, a highlight brush, the HDR brush and lots more. A simple elegant, reasonably priced brush toolkit for those of us that want more and to support my work. You can see a complete list of all brushes and the first 6 that are in this free pack on the product page.
