EVENTS TEMPORARILY POSTPONED

In response to the developing coronavirus situation in the UK, Exeter Phoenix is currently closed to the public. This is a temporary measure and we are taking this on a month-by-month basis. The vast majority of events will be rescheduled for later in the year. We are following government advice and acting in the best interests of our visitors and staff.

Unprecedented closures like this will be hugely damaging for charities like Exeter Phoenix and many other sectors. We’re reliant on our community to provide over 80% of the cost of running Exeter Phoenix each year. After seeing several members of our community reaching out to ask how they can help, we have provided a number of suggestions for how you can support Exeter Phoenix here >>

*Subject to a £1.50 ticketing system charge. We don’t charge this to make a profit. Find out more >>

Introduction To Adobe Lightroom Classic

One Day Course

SESSION DATES:

• Thu 9 Jul: 10am – 5pm

Lightroom Classic is software for the professional and keen amateur photographer, helping you organise, edit and share your photography. It also allows for a cross platform interaction with other programs such as Adobe Photoshop. Lightroom Classic will help you take control of a large collection of photos and edit and manipulate them.

This is non-destructive software ideal for working with RAW images. It will enhance your digital photos and help with noise reduction, colour balance, cropping, sharpening and converting to black and white. This course will offer an overview of the library and develop modules for the complete beginner.

The workshop will teach you to:

• Navigate your way around the software

In the Library Module:

• Import images and introduce you to the tools and commands
• to get your projects started.
• Edit images in the pure sense of the word, deciding which pictures to keep and which to remove altogether using the Select tool.
• You will learn how to rate pictures using the star rating system.
• Metadata basics
• Keywording
• Exporting files

In the Develop Module:

• Cropping, colour temperature, exposure, contrast, noise reduction, spot removal.
• Working on images where you can see a ‘before’ and ‘after’ on the screen simultaneously.

Individual needs will be catered for where possible. All courses are taught on Apple Mac computers and skills learnt are transferable to PC. We highly recommend attending our Introduction to Apple Mac course if you are new to Apple Mac before attending any of our digital courses.

Workshop attendees get 10% off all food and hot drinks at the Café bar.
