What You'll Learn
Course Info
This 4-session introductory course, delivered in-person or via Zoom, will introduce the Adobe Lightroom software program.
Lightroom is a post-processing application that will help a photographer to organize, edit and share images.
In this course, you will learn organizational skills, including how to import, rename, sort, rate, keyword and search your photo library.
We’ll also look at the tools available to enhance the look of your images, using presets, adjusting colour, exposure, cropping and batch processing multiple images at a time.
Finally, we’ll explore how to share your images, by creating cloud albums, exporting for social media and print and most importantly how to back up your images for security!

- 4 Weekly Evening Classes, 6pm – 9pm Pacific Time
