Digital Photography II: Managing Workflow and Archiving

© Mark Berndt
Spend less time in front of the computer editing and processing your work – and improve your images at the same time! This class helps you create an understandable, efficient and repeatable digital workflow. Use the power of Adobe Bridge CS3 and Adobe Camera RAW to organize, edit, process and present your images.
In the morning we’ll demonstrate a step-by-step process for downloading, verifying and backing-up your shoot; and then organizing and editing your images using Adobe Bridge CS3. In the afternoon we’ll concentrate on the power of CS3's Camera RAW processor for intuitive single image and batch processing of RAW and jpeg files. Apply exposure, color-correction and other enhancements to images in the processing stage to present color-corrected work as contact sheets and web galleries with the click of a button. A simple solution to the long-term file archiving concludes the day.
This course demonstrates an essential and unavoidable component of digital photography – workflow – and as such is strictly computer driven. Students are required to be proficient on either a MAC or PC. The lecture will be given using an Apple Macintosh computer with Adobe Bridge CS3 and Adobe Camera RAW.
