Many times these images need some post processing help to bring out all the details. Join commercial photographer and author, Alan Hess who specializes in concert and live-event photography as he works through some of his night and low-light images using Lightroom and Color Efex Pro 4. He will cover the steps involved in processing photos from the RAW image all the way through the finishing touches in Color Efex Pro 4. Click here for more information about Alan Hess.
