From Camera to Print: Digital Workflow

What do you do after you shoot your digital images? Do you leave the the images in your computer, never to be printed? Are your images disorganized and difficult to locate on your computer? Do colors or exposures need to be corrected, and you are unsure of how to begin? Do your prints never match your monitor?

From Camera to Print, a new offering this summer, will cover all of these topics and more, introducing students to digital image management. In addition, archival, large format color printing will be included! This class will use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a powerful and user-friendly program designed to make this process streamlined and easy. Robin Perlah, a college instructor and professional wedding photographer who uses this program daily for her photography workflow, will be instructing.



You can visit Adobe's website to download a free trial version of the program.
