Who it’s for
Portrait shooters (beginner–intermediate) who want clean, natural, flattering edits straight out of Lightroom—without jumping to Photoshop.
What you’ll learn (Lightroom Classic / Lightroom desktop)
A fast, repeatable portrait workflow: from culling to export
Skin‑friendly adjustments: Texture vs Clarity, Dehaze, Colour Noise for smoother skin without plastic
AI People Masks: quick skin smoothing, eye & teeth enhancements, lip tint, hair pop
Colour control: HSL, Color Grading, Calibration for consistent skintones
Light shaping with masks: Radial/Linear gradients for face‑centric contrast and glow
Blemishes & distractions: Heal/Clone vs Content‑Aware Remove (and when to stop)
Local detail: eyes, lashes, catchlights, brows, hair, clothing
B&W portraits that punch (without crunchy halos)
Lens profiles + geometry to subtly flatter
Export presets for web, socials, and print (with sharpening that won’t wreck skin)
