Digital Workflow II

Designed to be used together, Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 create a powerful combination for working with photographic images. While Lightroom's impressive system allows you to organize your images and quickly make adjustments to each, Photoshop offers infinite editing capabilities that can take your images to the next level.

Perfect for those with some experience in Lightroom, this course will break down how to efficiently work with images between the two programsÐharnessing their differing strengths to take each image to its fullest potential. We will start out reviewing Lightroom in order to import our images and sort them for organization and efficiency. We will then look at some of Lightroom's more advanced developing techniques to adjust exposure, contrast, color, etc. of our images.

But why stop there? Bringing our images from Lightroom into Photoshop, we can take our images to the next level. We will look at tools exclusive to Photoshop including adjustment layers, smart objects, selections, layer masks, and compositing. From here, we can work on specific areas of an image, fine-tune, combine images together, and retouch with maximum flexibility. As the final step in our workflow, we will look at various new ways of outputting our images for printing, emails, slide shows, and websites.
