Part 1 – Library, Develop & Map Modules
Saturday, October 26th, 2013; 1-5pm
Never shoot jpg again. Explore the potential and power of the RAW file format image capture of your DSLR with Adobe Lightroom.
Learn how to import, organize and process the RAW images from your DSLR efficiently, creatively, and most importantly, non-destructively. This overview will show you the ins and outs of the Library, Develop and Map modules of Lightroom.
Discover the image that your camera really captures using the Develop module and how you can produce the picture you really saw with your mind’s eye when it was captured.
In the Library and Map modules you will see how you can sift through your collections of hundreds or thousands of images in many ways using camera metadata (the data captured with each and every image) and keywords in the Library.
See the power of GPS data with the Map as another way to discover images in your collection based on where they were taken.
Part 2 – Book, Slideshow, Print & Web Modules
Saturday, November 2nd, 2013; 1-5pm
Now that your RAW images are organized and processed, they need to live and breathe!
Images shouldn’t just live on your hard disk to gather digital dust, they need to be seen and even more so, enjoyed by others. Adobe Lightroom is the perfect tool for you to make this happen.
This class will show you how the Book, Slideshow, Print and Web modules of Lightroom work with your digital files so you can get them out of the digital closet to show off your work to others… as individual prints, digitally printed books, slideshows and web galleries.
