Adobe Lightroom

Overview

In this class, you will learn to use Lightroom and Photoshop together to dramatically speed up your workflow and decrease editing time. You will learn when to use each program and how to transfer images back and forth. Lightroom works essentially as a
database or catalogue of all of your images. You will learn how to import, organize, correct and add creative color effects in Lightroom using global and local editing tools, and how to merge multiple exposures and create panoramas.
You will also learn to use Lightroom to handle high volume organization of images, including how to manage your entire post-capture workflow, including offloading content from your memory card to your computer (or external drive), assessing, rating,
tagging, organizing, searching, editing, sharing, and outputting images for various uses.
In Lightroom you can make non-destructive changes - Lightroom keeps track of every edit you make in the Develop module. In effect, you have unlimited undos forever. Changes are applied when you export a copy of the image, in this way your originals are always accessible.
