Prerequisites:
You should feel comfortable acquiring digital images, either with a digital camera, using images scanned onto CDs, or scanning film prints. Basic computer skills, such as using a mouse, creating and accessing folders, and downloading and saving files will be briefly reviewed in this course, but should be familiar to you.
Requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
- This course can be taken on either a PC or Mac.
- This course is written using the Windows version of the software. If you have Mac, you will need to make standard Windows/Mac keystroke conversions which are included in the course material.
Software Requirements:
- PC: Windows 10 (64-bit) version 1803 or later.
- Mac: macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later.
- Browser: The latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred. Microsoft Edge and Safari are also compatible.
- Adobe Lightroom Classic version CC or an updated version of 6, such as 6.1 (not included in enrollment).
- Adobe Lightroom Classic. Please have Lightroom Classic installed prior to beginning the course. Lightroom Classic is periodically updated as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription service and we recommend you have the latest update installed. Lightroom Classic is not included with the course and requires a subscription with Adobe. Please note that this course is for Lightroom Classic, also known as Lightroom Classic CC, and not Lightroom CC, a similar but cloud-based version of Lightroom that is not compatible with this course. Version specifics can be verified from within Lightroom via Help > About Lightroom Classic.
- Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Software must be installed and fully operational before the course begins.
Other:
- Email capabilities and access to a personal email account.
Notes:
- You will need to download zip files and extract images for use in class. The course provides basic directions for this, but you should be comfortable with downloading files, saving them on your computer, and locating them for use. Both Mac and Windows users are welcome, but Mac users should be aware that the course is written using Windows. Mac-Windows differences are minimal and using a Mac will only require a few standard Windows-to-Mac conversions. The software runs nearly the same on both.
Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online.
