Adobe Lightroom Syllabus/Schedule Overview

Lightroom lets you organize, adjust and edit, print and share photographs, all in one place. Lightroom is extremely fast—particularly when you are working on multiple images. Lightroom helps you keep your original files intact and allows you to tweak, set, or cancel any adjustments at any time. Works seamlessly with Photoshop!

Topics will include:

• File Organization and Workflow • The Lightroom Catalog – where it’s stored, why it’s important • The Lightroom Interface & the Metadata and Preferences panels • The Library Module – importing photos, keywords, smart previews, viewing and sorting and organizing photos • The Develop Module – understanding the Develop panels (Basic, HSL / Color / B&W), Detail, Lens Corrections, Transform, Effects & Camera Calibration. The Crop, Spot Removal, Red Eye Correction, Graduated Linear and Radial filters, and the Adjustment tools, includes basic editing techniques for specific image problems. • Generating Output – an explanation on using the features of the Map, Book, Slideshow Print & Web modules for post processing and sharing images. • An overview of Lightroom Mobile
