Room 201, LSU College of Arts and Design Building.

We’ll recap such Lightroom Library module features of import/export, keywording/filters and Develop module features of presets (using/creating/sharing), toning, local adjustments. We’ll then move on to Photoshop covering an overview of the screen layout/menus, discuss several of the more common tools, and finish with layers/masking.

Although not necessary to have for the class, it will be necessary that you are familiar with where certain elements exist in your version. A checklist will be sent out prior to the class.
