Master Photo Sharpening in Adobe Lightroom
What you’ll learn
-
Produce well sharpened photographs ready for screen or print viewing.
-
Evaluate photographs to produce an appropriate sharpening and noise reduction strategy.
-
Identify sharpening and noise reduction problems as well as understand how to avoid these.
Are you like most of the photographers who use Lightroom to process their images?
Typically, people fall into one of two categories:
- They accept the detail settings in the Detail panel, or
- They push a few of the sliders around, not really understanding how the software was designed to work
There are then a few exceptions. Those who understand how Lightroom works and who know how to deploy its tools. These are the people who can produce the best quality photography, and the quality will show.
Did you know the sharpening and noise reduction routines in Lightroom were designed around a professional workflow? If you don’t understand this workflow you won’t fully master the tools. In this course, I share this simple workflow together with the essential foundations of sharpening and noise reduction. Once you understand a few simple points you will be well prepared to learn about the different tools. You will understand how you should use them but most importantly when and to what levels.
The course is designed around a practical, example image which is provided for you to download. The intention is for you follow the videos, using the same image and then compare your results with my finished image (also provided). There is then a second full length example with which to practice. At the end of the course you will have an advanced level of knowledge, required to sharpen and apply noise reduction to photography.
The course is intended to for the intermediate level photographer who is comfortable importing and processing images in Lightroom.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intended for photography enthusiasts who wish to develop the quality of their work by applying a professional approach to sharpening and noise reduction.

This is a very good, straight to the point course which I will certainly recommend to friends. The instructions are short and precise, the author obviously knows his craft and the overall experience is great.
One or two additional examples would make this course fantastic.

The techniques taught in the course are great for taking your photography to a new level. I struggled with figuring out how pros (and some hobbyists) were able to achieve such pinpoint sharpness in their photos. Finally found a course that explains these techniques well.
Marlene Cohen –
The course is excellent. Great explanations which put into practice will greatly improve the quality of my photography.

Starting with very little knowledge in Lightroom, I now have a much better idea of how I can do to get better photos.
An exemple with a portrait would’ve been appreciate though.
The only thing that annoyed me was the fast circular movements with the pointer to show us where to look during the explanations.
In general, I am more then happy to have taken this course.
Stefano Amenta –
Overall it was a good course and I learned a couple of things.
I feel the worked example could have been even better with a more appealing landscape image instead of a building.

Inhaltlich gut, störend sind die fehlerhaften Untertitel (–> habe ich also ausgeschaltet).
Prima sind auch die beigefügten Powerpoint Dateien mit den Kernaussagen.

First class, clear and concise instruction, at a pace where I can digest. I have learnt so much from this course & giving me the understanding, that I so much craved. Thank you Robin

This built on knowledge I already had and was very useful. However a demonstration of the effects of the radial and graduated filter would have been nice and I couldn’t download the photographic resources for some reason as they were so large they would have taken ages.
Well presented though and pace was good.

I have been using Lightroom for quite a while but I havent previously fully understood what I was doing when sharpening and doing noise reduction. Now I have a much better understanding of these processes. But the initial Parts of the Workflow, Capture Sharpening are still somewhat ambiguous. Ah well will just have to practice and see what is best for me. Really loved the paint brush selective sharpening tips.
André Martins –
By explaning the concepts and applying them by examples, the course is easy to follow and may teach even seasoned Lightroom users new tips and tricks on sharpening and noise reduction.
Kyle Post –
I’m starting to sell my photo prints and have been avoiding learning how to better sharpen and apply noise reduction as I found it tedious and I didn’t really know what I was doing. This was just what I needed. It’s concise and to the point but with sufficient examples to enable me to put it to use immediately. Very well done!
