Digital Photography: Post-Production

NC1071-01

This intensive seven-week class develops students’ skills and agility in digital photography post-production. Using Adobe Lightroom Classic, Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop, students learn a streamlined, professional workflow that takes images from camera to finished product. Learn the basics and beyond of powerful, industry standard software and systems, from file management to basic processing to advanced creative editing methods. Topics covered include navigating the Lightroom Classic interface, customizing Photoshop workspaces, importing and organizing images, harnessing the power of metadata, tonal and color adjustments, advanced color correction and grading, retouching, generative/AI tools, targeted local image adjustments and masking, and exporting images for web, print, and photo books. Examples of photographic images from the historical canon and contemporary photography are explored in relation to students’ own work. This, in conjunction with critiques / feedback sessions focused on students’ own digital imagery, promotes development of critical language and image assessment skills.
