X-Rite Photo Marketing today announced its schedule of September 2012 Webinars that have been developed to address specific color management topics and are designed to appeal to both professional and serious amateur photographers.

Two free Webinars this month are designed to help photographers gain new confidence and to learn quick, easy and powerful ways to enhance their color workflow. Webinar attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the live trainers.

Tuesday, Sept. 11, 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET, Landscape Image Edits and Enhancements in Lightroom 4: Adobe’s new Lightroom 4 offers new options for editing and output that make this a must-have upgrade for Lightroom users. In this free webinar professional photographer Joe Brady will explore both basic and advanced image editing techniques in this new update and the importance of a solid color managed workflow to take advantage of them. During this session, he’ll focus on the new editing capabilities offered in this upgrade. In future sessions Joe will explore the new modules and Lightroom file organization.  One of the new additions to Lightroom 4 is its ability to soft-proof. Now users can choose their printer profile and see what effects it will have on the printed image. This makes monitor profiling and accurate printer profiles important for Lightroom 4’s workflow.

Topics will include:

• Why monitor color is important for Lightroom 4
• Image edits and batch processing including: global image edits; local color and light adjustments with Lightroom 4’s new options; retouching and composition; image sharpening, noise reduction and lens profiles, and preparing files for lab printing
