What you will learn in Lightroom?

Performing nondestructive editing.
Enjoy robust support for more than 150 camera raw formats, and experiment with confidence. Adjustments you make to images in Lightroom won't alter the original data, whether you're working on a JPEG, TIFF, DNG, or camera raw file.

Quickly download images from your camera to your computer. Automatically rename files, organize folders, and even add metadata to photos as you import them.

Create Multiple Catalogs, for your personal fine art work and a separate catalog for your business or family portraits. Archive a catalog for later use or to transfer to another computer.

Enjoy an elegant, uncluttered interface.
Ease the learning curve and be productive quickly. Task-oriented modules whisk you through typical workflow tasks by putting just the tools you need at your fingertips.
Work in the Library module to organize photos into collections, to browse, evaluate, and compare images, and to add keywords so that you can easily find your images.

Professional editing tools
Fine-tune your photographs with precise, easy-to-use tools for globally correcting white balance, exposure, tone curves, lens distortion, and color casts.

Jump to the Develop module to make global adjustments to photographs, including correcting white balance, exposure, tone curves, and color casts. Create a specific preset or download many presets developed for you by other photographers.

Assemble and output high-quality printed contact sheets and generate sophisticated online web galleries and slide shows for client presentation.

Students are encouraged but not required to bring their own raw or jpeg.
