REPLAY: Lightroom Crash-Course for Underwater Photographers, with Erin Quigley (Sep 2024)
Click here to see all our webinars.
Taking photos underwater is very different from taking photos on dry land. Water scatters light, reducing sharpness and contrast, and also absorbs colours. For these three reasons, all underwater photographers should be spending a little bit of time post-processing their images. Revealing the true beauty of an underwater photo isn’t difficult if you have the right tools, but it takes specific know-how, which differ from standard topside workflows.
For this essential topic, our guest speaker was none other than the Underwater Lightroom Queen herself: Erin Quigley! 
By watching this replay, you’ll learn how to make the most of your underwater photographs, using the industry’s top photo editing software: Adobe Lightroom Classic.
If you’re still relying on Photoshop, or you’re not 100% confident in your editing skills, this webinar will help you work faster, smarter, and bring your underwater shots to life.

Topics Covered
What was meant to be a 2-hour session turned into a deep dive of over 2.5 hours—packed with practical tips, live demos, and insightful discussion. Erin covered so much ground that many attendees said they’d be rewatching the replay (with a notepad in hand!).
She shared expert guidance on file management, essential editing tools, and how to get the most out of Lightroom Classic’s latest AI-powered features—all tailored specifically to underwater photography.
As always at The Underwater Club, we wrapped up with a live Q&A, giving participants the chance to get their own questions answered in real time.
