NOTE: This class will be taught using Adobe Lightroom. To get the most out of this class, you'll need to purchase or download a free trial of the program, here.

Now that you've taken your photos, what do you do with them? How can you use Lightroom to get the images onto your computer, keep them organized, and find them when you need to? Virtually every image shared online and in print has been post-processed after being shot. How can you use Lightroom to alter your images, from anything ranging to simple tone and contrast adjustments to more dramatic edits? When you’re done editing them, how do you share them with others? In this workshop, you'll learn to make the most of your images after you've shot them using the popular photo editing software Adobe Lightroom.

What You'll Learn:

We'll kick this class off with a video lecture, where I'll cover everything from choosing which images to edit, improving the tones, contrast, saturation and brightness of your images to finally exporting your images in an organized way.

I'll provide you with plenty of resources and guidance to lead you through your editing assignments. At the end of the week, share your final edited photos for feedback from the class. I'll do a final live Office Hours where I'll share feedback and answer any final questions before sending you off with your newfound photo-editing skills!

Mission Cheese, San Francisco, 4.16.11

What You'll Need For Class:

For this class, you'll need Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installed. The newest version (v 4.0) is ideal so that you can follow along with me as I show you demos, but any version will suffice. Please note that some of the features of Lightroom v 4.0 look and work differently than they did in previous versions, which could be slightly confusing! You can purchase or download a trial version here: www.adobe.com/Lightroom

In addition, make sure to have at least a small body of digital (or digitized) work that you can practice on!

I look forward to seeing you in class!
