New England’s best photographic education for the experienced photographer, as well as the emerging professional. NEIPP (New England Institute of Photography) is presented once a year for the purpose of improving photography throughout New England and beyond, for both the photographers and the consumers.
You will be inspired to continue to improve your craft, create new products and return to your studio with a fresh approach to your work.
Whether you have photographed hundreds of people, countless weddings, worked in a small studio, with large corporations, OR you recently purchased a professional level camera and want to learn how to turn your passion into a profession – NEIPP is THE place to be!
During 4 ½ days of instruction, you will learn new ways to work with clients, how to market, how to work with studio lighting as well as the existing light in your environment, how to pose for the most flattering images, and many tips, ideas and new friendships that will last your lifetime.
Study the art and science of photography, in a warm, friendly environment – with some of the best in the industry… a retreat for the mind and soul. Join us and see for yourself.
NEIPP 2018 will take place April 8 through April 12, at the beautiful Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, 35 Scudder Avenue, Hyannis, MA 02601. http://www.neipp.com/#!/page/482170/home
NEIPP isn't just about going to class and listening to a famous photographer tell you about how "they did it". You will spend your days learning how you can do it! Hands-on in the classroom and on location, intense and elightening instruction and developing a style all your own. You will be given tools, tips, and ideas to perfect your craft and improve your business.
The social contacts you will make both in the classroom and after hours in the lounge, hospitality room or lobby of the hotel will add value to your experience at NEIPP and beyond. NEIPP has an atmosphere which promotes making new friends and networking with people who share your passion for photography.
Expect to learn a lot and make new friends. And look forward to spring in New England at NEIPP for years to come.
COURSE FEE INCLUDES:
* Tuition for four and a half days of instruction in the course of your choice.
* Meals - Breakfast and lunch, two coffee breaks per day are provided. Wednesday dinner and party included.

Moving to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom from Nikon’s Capture
Moving to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom from Nikon’s Capture
I get asked this question a LOT. I do not use Capture so I only know what I read and give advice accordingly. But I have read and purchased previous tutorials from Jason, and they were good, so I am passing along his tutorial.
MOVING TO LIGHTROOM (PDF EBOOK)
Master Workflow and Image Processing in Lightroom 5
http://www.luminescentphoto.com/blog/eshop/guides-to-adobe-lightroom-photoshop/lightroom-guide/
coverI made the switch to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom from Nikon’s Capture NX 2 in 2012 and learned the hard way what and what not to do. Although I am a quick learner, I still made plenty of mistakes that cost me time and effort to correct. Moving to Lightroom is the book I wish I’d had when I changed my workflow environment. You will learn how to import, organize, and process your images in Lightroom, and I walk you through each step of the process. My goal with this book was to not only create a detailed guide to the image management and adjustment tools in Lightroom, but to also provide new users with the steps they’d need to take to prepare their existing images for import. If you’ve been working on your images in other workflow tools, the last thing you want is to lose your keywords, ratings, and image adjustments when you move to another tool. Once you move to Lightroom, I’ll show you how to manage your images and process them using non-destructive editing tools that deliver brilliant results. sample-pageIf you’re new to Lightroom or getting ready to migrate, this book is for you. Check out my Lightroom FAQs video to learn more about the Lightroom workflow paradigm.
Topics
Specifically covers Lightroom 5; applicable to Lightroom 4 and CC
How Lightroom differs from a browser-based workflow, and what it can do that regular browsers cannot
Preserve keywords, labels and ratings added by other applications, including Adobe Bridge, Capture NX 2 and Aperture
Import images edited in other raw converters
Add metadata to your photos in the Lightroom catalog
Use metadata filtering to find your images
Step by-step instructions on image processing
Match the look of your manufacturer’s raw software, like Capture NX2
Use the Adjustment Brush to create smart selections
Sharpen your images globally and locally
Edit your images via Plug-ins or Photoshop
When to use XMP sidecar files
Image export & Printing
Complete list of keyboard shortcuts
See a full list of subjects by downloading the Table of Contents below. Moving to Lightroom also includes a set of custom Develop presets and Adjustment Brush presets that you can install to use with your own images. Follow the installation instructions in the guide to use them in your copy of Lightroom.
System Requirements
Mac or PC with Adobe Reader 7.0 or later
Tablet capable of displaying PDF files*
