Designed exclusively for photographers, the Adobe Lightroom programs gives us powerful editing tools in the Develop Module. Join Marie Joabar this Online Lightroom course and learn in-depth how to get the most from this amazing program!
In this course Marie will walk you though making global adjustments such as adjusting exposure, contrast, color, sharpness, noise reduction, and lens correction. Then the more powerful tools used for local adjustments such as cloning, applying red-eye or pet eye correction, the graduated and radial filters and the adjustment brush will be covered giving you the control to edit your photos and make them the best they can be.
The DEVELOP course is in-depth and includes instruction on just about every tool in the Develop module. Also discussed are best practices for using each tool. The course is broken down into easy to follow lessons and also includes videos which you can review and playback over the length of the course plus 90 days afterwards. Weekly at-home practice assignments will help reinforce the material.
Students have four 60 minute Live Sessions via Zoom with the instructor to answer questions, review content, and provide a demonstration. Students will also have the ability to submit questions and get feedback within 24 hours.
Note - Students will need a computer loaded with LR Classic. We will not cover the Lightroom Mobile version. If you haven’t already downloaded Lightroom go to the Adobe site and look for the $9.99 Photography Plan that gives you Lightroom Classic and Photoshop (make sure your plan includes "Classic").
If you are new to Lightroom, we recommended you take the Library course before the Develop one. The Library course lays the foundation for using Lightroom and having this grounding is helpful when working with any of the other modules. If your schedule does not allow for you to take that course first, you CAN take the Develop course but look for the next scheduled date for the Library and know that taking that will help you work through all that the Lightroom program offers.
