LIGHTROOM 5 Classes begin Thursday - October 24, 2013 Taught by ArtSquare photography instructor Thomas Ramsay This six-‐week course on Lightroom 5 is designed to empower you, whether as a passionate photographer or a dedicated family chronicler or archivist, to ef=iciently organize, manage, optimize, print, and share your digital images through the use of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software. The 15 hours of classroom training can take you to a whole new level of photographic expression while you seamlessly manage the storage, access, and sharing requirements of your digital image =iles. The Lightroom course is designed to help you
become pro=icient in using the functions, menus, and slider bars built into the software for improving or modifying your pictures, while simultaneously learning about the principles that lead to the optimal application of the tools. You will learn to “see” what can be accomplished artistically with an image’s color, brightness, sharpness, and composition, and know which tools to use to implement the tasks. You will understand how to apply metadata to each photo in ways that will let you rapidly retrieve and review pictures based on name, location, date, or even quality of the image.
You could then execute a search that would swiftly, for example, “Find and display all 3-‐to-‐5-‐star-‐ quality pictures of Aunt Helen with Uncle Bill and Cousin Mary, all in the same photo, taken in California from 1988 to 2003.” The =irst class in Session 6 will illustrate the functions of the two processors at the core of Lightroom, the Database engine and the Image Processing engine. Understanding this basic structure will support your learning the functions and controls contained in Lightroom’s seven interconnected modules. The remainder
of the course will cover each of those modules (Library, Develop, Map, Book, Slideshow, Web, and Print) in a logical work=low sequence. However you plan to use Lightroom-‐-‐to manage professional images, personal images, or scanned photos of family history-‐-‐this course will help you accomplish the requisite tasks ef=iciently, artistically, and with a sense of empowerment that no modern-‐day photographer should be without. Both a morning (9:30 AM) and an evening (7:00 PM) session of 2 1/2 hour classes are being offered.
