worth your time.

This round is for the working photographer: sharper Photoshop decisions, cinematic retouching, and getting more out of your raw files. Their sessions are below — plus a tip you can use on your next edit, and a look at the classes everyone’s clicking on so far.

Kirk Nelson

Photoshop Craft & Portrait Editing

A teacher’s teacher who makes Photoshop make sense — big on doing the work right in camera first, then finishing it with intent.

Teaching: “The Photoshop Decision Tree”, “The Cinematic Edit: Five Steps to Better Portraits” and “My Favorite Photoshop Tool is My Camera”

Try This

Stuck deciding how to fix something in Photoshop? Ask what the problem actually is — tone, color, or distraction — before you pick a tool. Naming the problem first turns twenty possible techniques into two.

Lisa Carney

Retouching & Commercial Finishing

A commercial retoucher with a long track record — equally at home finishing a portrait entirely by hand or putting Firefly to real client work.

Teaching: “Cinematic Portrait Finishing in Photoshop (No AI)” and “AI-Assisted Portrait Retouching with Photoshop and Firefly”

Try This

Chasing a cinematic look? Push your shadows slightly cool and your highlights slightly warm, then stop. Most of what reads as filmic is that one split-tone relationship — not a stack of effects.

Serge Ramelli

Landscape, Raw Processing & Tone

One of the most-watched landscape educators anywhere — known for turning flat raw files into images with real depth and mood.

Teaching: “AI Masking: Get the Best Out of Your Raw Files” and “Ansel Adams’ Zone System, Reimagined for Today”

Try This

Before you touch a slider, decide which part of the frame you want the eye to land on — then make everything else a half-stop darker. Direction beats correction: an image with one clear bright spot reads as intentional.

The Keynote with Scott Kelby & the Adobe team — Tuesday morning, and where everyone starts.

Scott’s 20 Favorite Photoshop Tricks — twenty things you’ll actually use, one after another.

Brooke Shaden, “How to Edit Like a Painter” — taught live, and unlike anything else on the schedule.

Lisa Carney, “Cinematic Portrait Finishing (No AI)” — every move made by hand, start to finish.

Serge Ramelli, “Ansel Adams’ Zone System, Reimagined” — an old idea that still fixes modern files.
