Description
This class will cover:
- Bridge / Camera Raw / Photoshop workflow with emphasis on simplified photo processing in Camera Raw (or Lightroom’s Develop Module)
- Raw photos, and why it makes sense to shoot Raw
- Importing photos from your digital camera the smart way
- Using Adobe Camera Raw to efficiently adjust Raw photos and JPEGs
- How and why to use Smart Objects in your photo workflow
- The best techniques for correcting your photos in Photoshop
- Non-destructive editing using Adjustment Layers
- Fine-tuning your photo editing with masks
- Working with editable Smart Filters
- Master sharpening
- Adobe now bundles Lightroom with Photoshop in the Creative Cloud Photography Plan. This class can clarify how to add Lightroom to a Photoshop workflow for photographers, and why you would want to do so. We will use this depending upon the group’s interest level.
Presented in Adobe Creative Cloud, but most of what is taught will apply to earlier versions of the program.
What To Expect
Moving to Photoshop from other software solutions is a detailed and time-consuming task and this workshop does *not* cover how to do that in detail as the variations and individual needs are endless.
Requirements
BDA provides Mac workstations for in-class use that are available on a limited basis. Students are also welcome to use their own computer with the latest version of the Creative Cloud installed. Adobe offers a free 7-day trial of the Creative Cloud. (When registering for this class, please make a note whether you will need a BDA Mac or if you will bring your own laptop.)

Who Should Take This
Amateur and professional photographers, who have a basic understanding that Photoshop has advanced and detailed power and functions for editing images and photographs, are ready for this class. If you are totally unfamiliar with the idea/concept of digital image or photo editing, take Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop first. That class is a great overview of Photoshop’s uses.
