Adobe software is virtually the same on the Mac and PC platforms. When taking this class at an ONLC center, it will be taught using PC hardware with Windows software. Minor Mac keyboard and interface differences will be highlighted by the instructor.
When taking this course from home or office, students can use either PC or Mac hardware to attach to the hosted Windows-based Adobe software.
In this class, you will learn to use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop together to dramatically speed up your workflow and decrease editing time. You will learn when to use each program and how to transfer images back and forth. Lightroom works essentially as a database or catalog of all of your images. You will learn how to import, organize, correct, and add creative color effects in Lightroom using global and local editing tools, and how to merge multiple exposures and create panoramas.
You will also learn to use Lightroom to handle high volume organization of images, including how to manage your entire post-capture workflow, including offloading content from your memory card to your computer (or external drive), assessing, rating, tagging, organizing, searching, editing, sharing, and outputting images for various uses.
In Lightroom you can make non-destructive changes - Lightroom keeps track of every edit you make in the Develop module. In effect, you have unlimited undos forever. Changes are applied when you export a copy of the image, in this way your originals are always accessible.
In Photoshop, you'll learn practical techniques for combining photos, pro-level retouching, creating precise selections, masking, turning a photo into a painting and pencil sketch, and adding creative blur effects.
Photoshop excels when you need to make precise selections and targeted adjustments to your images. Use Photoshop to select and mask detailed areas, and to remove and reposition objects. Photoshop is also used for enhancing photos with text or other non-photographic artwork. You will learn the skills needed to use Photoshop for design, illustration, and 3D and video work.
Whether images were created in Photoshop or Lightroom, in this class you will also learn to manage output for various types of projects including slideshows, books, fine art-style signed print layouts, other types of print templates, and how to set up output for social media and web galleries.
Our Creative Cloud classes upgrade to the latest CC version as soon as new training materials are released from Adobe. Typically new content is available within 2 to 4 months of a software release.
Students should have experience with Photoshop and working knowledge of the skills covered in Core Skills: Level 1. Specifically, you should know the work area, be able to do basic photo selections and corrections, as well as understand layering, masks and channels.
