All students will receive a pdf handout with tips, techniques and screen shots. It'll be your post-class companion when you're back at home editing your photos.
Note - At the class you'll bring your own laptop (desktops are fine too) loaded with Lightroom Classic. If you haven’t installed Lightroom, go to the Adobe website and choose the plan called “Lightroom” for $11.99/month. Install the Lightroom Classic version prior the class. (You can also choose a fully functional 7-day free trial.)
FYI - If you choose the Photography Plan for $14.98/month, in addition to Lightroom, you will get Photoshop too.
