Well in these days where we are still mostly staying home, one of the photography related things we can do is to maintain our equipment. Here is a tutorial, posted on Mirrorless Rumors, titled “The Best (and Worst) Ways To Clean Camera Lenses”
It seems like a lifetime ago when Richard Smith did his last Boot Camp on Lightroom where he went over how to use the powerful Range Mask Slider in Lightroom.
It is a tool I use on almost every image. Here is a tutorial by Chris O’Donnell, posted on his web site CreativeRaw.com, Titled Enhanced Processing with the Range Mask in Lightroom

While Colin uses Photoshop for this lesson, most of the adjustments can be done in Lightroom since Camera Raw in Photoshop is exactly like the Develop Module in Lightroom

I’ll finish this month off with a series of tutorials that cover all the bases in Photoshop. There are 24 tutorials in the series, all by Colin Smith. It’s called “Photoshop basics, Photoshop fundamentals”. Here’s a link to all the videos.
