with Lisa Cuchara, M.Photog.M.Artist.Cr.
Lisa will demonstrate the use of Adobe Camera RAW (which is the same processor as the Develop module in Lightroom) to show how to expand your post-processing capabilities. Come learn how to make your images POP by processing your images in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). The ACR editor can be a very simple but extremely useful tool for both new and experienced photographers. There is more to ACR than just adjusting exposure, shadows, and highlights, for example, tone mapping for HDR, stitching panoramas, dehaze, masking, gradients, etc. Lightroom users will find that the ACR processor in Photoshop is identical to the tools in Lightroom’s Develop module. Both LR and ACR utilize "parametric image editing", which means edits are saved as instructions/parameters in an xmp "sidecar" file -- pixels are not altered making the editing " non-destructive" (you can edit or undo it at any time). Saving the edits as instructions/parameters means that you are not actually changing the image but rather you are changing the way the software interprets the RAW data. ACR can also be used as a "plugin" (since Photoshop CC 2014) which means that you can use the ACR filter on more than just RAW/DNG filetypes like TIFF and JPEG files - or on ANY layer in a Photoshop file and you can use ACR as a filter on images that are already open in Photoshop. Participants will watch me edit, will receive files to edit during class and can send in select RAW images for demonstration purposes.
