Ever feel like you're fighting with Lightroom instead of creating with it?

  • Do you find yourself moving sliders back and forth, guessing what will work?
  • Have you tried presets that offer a quick "look" but fall apart when you need to make specific adjustments?
  • Do you know your images have more potential, but feel stuck in your current process?
  • Does the final photo rarely match the vision you had in the field?

In this session, I'll show you my approach:

  • A full tour of the Rethink Toolkit—the collection of custom-built presets, brushes, and masks I developed for landscape photographers.
  • How to build a solid foundation for any photo by choosing a starting point based on the image's actual dynamic range.
  • Specific tools from the kit that I use for targeted adjustments like dodging, burning, and fixing common color problems.
  • My techniques for adding atmosphere, like realistic light, fog, and depth, to make your images more compelling.
  • The key difference between a "preset pack" and a "toolkit," and how the latter gives you the components to build your own style.

About Me

My name is David Kingham. I built the Rethink Toolkit because it's what I needed for my own work. I was frustrated with the disconnect between my vision and Lightroom's scattered tools, so I developed a more logical system.

It's a step-by-step process supported by a specific set of tools that I now use on every image I edit. It has helped hundreds of my workshop students, and I want to show it to you."
