Lightroom Courses for Photographers

About this course

Participants work through Lightroom’s interface and key modules, using the Library tools to import, organise and classify images with keywords, metadata, tags and ratings. The Develop module covers adjustments to exposure, contrast, tonal range, colour, image noise and composition. The course also examines RAW and JPEG files, image resolution, file sizes and export settings. Teaching takes place on iMacs with Adobe Lightroom installed, with attention to preparing images for online publication and print.
