This course covers best practices for managing digital photo files and introduces basic Adobe Lightroom editing skills. Professional photographer Steve J. Giardini will help you develop a practical computer file management strategy to protect and organize your files and make them easier to find. Learn essential editing techniques to turn digital photos into beautiful images! The course also includes a 4-hour photography field session.

Participants should bring their own computer to class, if they have one: laptops are also available for in-classroom use. Important: editing software is not provided. Students need an Adobe Lightroom subscription, or be willing to sign up for a free 7-day trial. Students will need a digital camera with interchangeable lenses; cell phone cameras are not allowed. A tripod is recommended for the field session, and students are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the field session.

All photo enthusiasts are welcome in this class! Students are encouraged to contact the instructor before purchasing equipment, if they are considering a purchase in advance of class.
