What to bring:
- Your laptop loaded with Photoshop. If you are paying the monthly subscription fee for Photoshop *$10 a month, then Lightroom is included in that bundle. We can talk Lightroom if that is something the class is interested in. Lightroom is how I first edit all RAW files from the camera.
- Patrice will provide the images for all students to work on together from processing the files to editing them as jpegs in Photoshop.
If you have a different version of Photo Shop, or another photo editing software, I welcome you to join this class. Though some of the features of Photoshop may not be the same, you will be able to follow along to learn the basic tools of editing photographs.
This will be a hands on class and we will be working individually and together to learn how to take the images from a RAW state and the workflow designed to edit, and prepare the file to ultimately present to a client, or print. This class size is limited to 5 attendees, so there is plenty of opportunity for one on one assistance.
