Lisa Carney
Pro-Level Editing on a Phone
(Lightroom Mobile + iOS Creative Apps)
Mobile editing has become a truly powerful post-production workflow.
In this fast-paced, photographer-to-photographer session, we’ll explore advanced editing capabilities on your smartphone by combining Lightroom Mobile with a lineup of iOS creative apps—from AI-driven masking and precision tonal shaping to pro-level color grading, cleanup, and bold experimental looks. We’ll also push into creative finishing, including adding lens flares, applying cinematic LUTs, and even incorporating type for poster-style or editorial-ready images. You’ll see practical workflows that take images from RAW to polished, gallery-ready results quickly, while keeping full creative control and a non-destructive mindset.Even Photoshop on mobile can be used for a few finishing touches!
(Amy's note: Lisa is more than a retouch artist, her photography is very cool! Check out her photography portfolio on her website.)

Chris Wooley - Cool Workflows and Time Saving Tips!
March 14, 2026
Website: www.Cwooley.com
This 90-minute Zoom session for Photoshop users who want to move faster, stay organized, and keep their edits consistent without losing control. You will learn how to turn Photoshop into a repeatable system instead of a never-ending series of tiny decisions. The goal is simple: fewer clicks, fewer “where is that again” moments, and a smoother editing flow you can apply to anything you work on, from portraits, landscapes, and composites to marketing graphics and print-ready files.
You will be taught by Chris Wooley, a Master Photographer and educator known for high-energy, technique driven training that focuses on tactics you can use immediately. Chris draws on real-world experience running a working studio, judging image competitions, and helping other photographers improve their craft. Expect an entertaining, demo-driven class with a bit of “here’s the smart way to do that” attitude, plus bonus features and newer techniques sprinkled throughout so you leave with a sharper workflow, cleaner habits, and a Photoshop setup that finally feels like it is on your side.

In this presentation, Bob shares a wealth of knowledge about the technical side of night photography—how to capture long exposures, properly set up a camera for star trails, and fine-tune your settings to get the best results. He teaches about composition, how to use foreground elements like the iconic red rocks of Sedona to create a sense of depth, and how to work with lighting to enhance your shots. Once captured your images processing and Bob will share some ideas on best practices.
Bob says, “I liken the capture of wonderful Starscapes to playing a four dimension board game. There needs to be an interesting foreground to place before the magnificent night sky. Multiple techniques are utilized to capture the elements which are then processed to make the final image.”
Bob Coates’ Milky Way workshops in Sedona, AZ, are a fantastic way for both beginner and experienced photographers to dive into astro landscape photography, AKA Nightscapes. Sedona’s clear skies and stunning landscapes make it one of the best places in the U.S. to capture the Milky Way in all its glory. Bob takes full advantage of the region’s natural beauty, guiding participants through the process of shooting the stars, moon, and galaxies above. Bob share ideas you improve your night photography whether you are just getting started or beginning to push the boundaries of the night sky landscape genre
