Tutorial Videos

As part of the educational series, there are numerous tutorials assembled by Mark in addition to the classes, group leadership and so forth. This is one of the videos designed to help other photographers provide more efficient photo processing to their clients. This video focuses on the use of an external midi device to easily navigate and make changes to images on Adobe Lightroom.

This video was prepared as part of a sports photography lecture in which some of Mark’s techniques and skills were presented to less experienced photographers.
