This course is for those who plan to master professional photo editing programs. Teachers of the School love people and good photos, so come along.
Learning to work in Adobe Lightroom
For the first seven lessons we learn the Adobe Lightroom program. It is used by retouchers to make primary color and brightness correction (what professionals call raw file development). It is also great for batch processing of reportage photos.
Learning to work in Adobe Photoshop
