620. The Digital Photographer’s Workflow This new class has been created in response to requests from those wishing to understand and improve their digital workflow. Whether a hobbyist or professional photographer, a smooth and organized workflow is essential in the effective management and editing of a digital photographic library of images. This 6 week class covers the complete workflow, beginning with camera set-up, importing, organizing and editing using Adobe Lightroom, specific editing within Adobe Photoshop, and finally exporting and optimizing images for output, whether for printing or web. Over the years, Adobe Lightroom has become a stand-alone and powerful program, forming the industry standard in managing, editing and exporting image files, and forms the backbone of this course.
