Lightroom Class DC
What is Lightroom?
Adobe Lightroom Classic is now the best software to use for organizing and editing images. It is adept with both RAW and JPEG files, as well as numerous other file types. It is efficient, straightforward, and very friendly to use.
Two important modules are the Library where the organization is done and Develop where you can edit your files. In the Library you import files, delete those you don’t want, rank others based on quality, add keyword tags for searching and group files within collections. The Develop module lets the user process files to improve tone, color, sharpness and fine detail either globally or selectively.
The software ensures that your files always remain in their original form by using a catalog approach with the data—nothing is ever changed permanently. Lightroom keeps track of the folder locations for your content and annotates the files with metadata that tracks changes.
Lightroom Classic is designed to ensure optimal usability and function for photographers in need of an effective tool to manage their photographs.
Why is it useful to learn?
The reasons are numerous, but the biggest factor is that Lightroom Classic has become the most important software for amateur and professional photographers everywhere. It is easy to learn, extremely effective, and just about essential for individuals with a lot of photos to keep track of.
Further, it’s a no risk proposition; Adobe offers a free trial on their website so you can test it out and see if it suits your particular needs. We work typically on student laptops organizing your files. An iMac can be brought to class instead of a traditional laptop.
