Course description

Adobe Lightroom Classic (formally known as Lightroom CC (confusing isn't it?!)) is becoming more and more popular with photographers and is increasingly being seen as the main retouching program. Lightroom goes hand in hand with Photoshop and together sets the industry standard of image editing.
The software allows you to sort, rename, edit, tag, as well as make exposure and other batch image adjustments, non-destructively.

This course will take you from the setting up of this affordable piece of software, looking at importing your images, to editing and organising them. The Develop module is where you can correct and process RAW and JPEG files, as well as apply a range of effects, all covered in detail.

The course will also look at how images can be exported directly from Lightroom to websites, Facebook, used in album design or made into prints.
