PHOT 1310 - Adobe Lightroom



2 Credits
Adobe Lightroom helps photographers organize and manipulate their images. It works hand in hand with Adobe Photoshop and Bridge but adds many new options and features. This course will explore the power and features of Lightroom and how it can import, catalog, save and organize thousands of images and save the photographer a lot of time upfront in the workflow. Then Lightroom’s develop and print modules can modify, manipulate and improve digital images in a non-destructive manner. We will wraup this class with practice outputting images to web, to CD and to labs to create products and images for client viewing. Bring a few hundred images to class for hands-on practice during this class. Prerequisites: NONE
