Spend a day working with one of the most elegant file management tools, the Lightroom Library. The Library is the heart and soul of Lightroom. Understanding it's power and flexibility is the key to success with the program.
You will learn how to properly import, apply metadata, organize, keyword, search, collect, and export your files for any purpose. Lightroom has some key concepts that will be explained in detail, as well as procedures for maintaining the catalog.
The class will provide in-depth coverage, not just an overview, and will be hands on as you work on your laptop with your files. There are a lot of hidden gems within the Library that this class will illuminate.
We will also touch on some of Lightroom's other modules including Slide and Print.
Participants need to bring their laptop computer loaded with Lightroom 3 to class. If you do not already own Lightroom 3, a fully functional trial can be downloaded at www.adobe.com.

The most flexible way to capture information in a digital camera is in the RAW file format. It allows photographers to make better decisions about exposure, contrast, white balance and sharpness long after the file has been recorded in the camera. While viewing the image on screen and using a histogram for precise evaluation, photographers can optimize their files before they begin the final edits in Photoshop.
This is a hands-on workshop taught on students own laptops with either Lightroom 3 or Adobe Camera RAW installed.

Have you have ever wanted highlight and shadow details to look their best in the same image?
HDR is the technique that allows photographers to overcome exposure and dynamic range issues and build images with incredible range and detail.
