Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Lightroom is a powerful software for organizing, editing and sharing photographs. The cloud-based application allows photographers to synchronize photos across multiple devices: desktop, mobile, tablet and through the web browser. In digital photography workflow, it is easy to amass thousands of photos (if not more) in sort period of time. This online class, offered in real-time will cover efficient workflow for importing, sorting and organizing photos. A key focus of the course will be on creative editing of photographs through Lightroom’s non-destructive editing process. With Lightroom, photographers can quickly make custom black and white photos or improve images by selectively altering parts of them. The course will also include ease of sharing photos to social media, clients, family or friends. Lightroom’s batch processing abilities allow photographers to edit multiple photos at once saving hours of editing time, which will also be covered. After taking this course participants will be able to organize photos, edit them and share them on the go, whether they are at home working on a desktop or travelling with their mobile devices or tablets.
The course will be delivered online in real-time. Instructor will be available to answer questions through email and video conference during the duration of the course. Participants will require paid subscription of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
