Local Editing with Seth Madell


Seth hopes to make this talk not only interesting but also approachable. The presentation will largely be "software agnostic"—that is, something you can do with virtually any capable photo editor. He will show examples using Lightroom, Photoshop, Capture One, and Affinity.

Following a brief slide show presentation, Seth will explore some local editing tasks live, using Affinity. He hopes to convince everyone that photo editing is definitely not rocket science, and that it can be accomplished fairly easily and with readily accessible tools.

Anyone who can click a mouse and drag a slider can perform local edits with the best of them. And, best of all, no math! Join the excitement with Seth and his Traveling Photo Editing Show! It's fun for the whole family.
