We offer a comprehensive Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Training course

Traditionally software for digital imaging serves two purposes:

1. applications for cataloging and organizing your photos
2. powerful applications for editing individual images.

Photoshop Lightroom does both, it is a powerful way to organize, export, print and develop RAW images – the default file format for most modern DLSR cameras.
Photographers use the RAW file format to capture image data in its least processed form. Most consumer cameras compress or slightly tweak a photo as soon as it’s shot, and RAW skips this step. The file sizes of RAW images are larger and the photos don’t look as “finished,” but working with RAW files also offers more control over the final product.

Lightroom is designed to make it easy to quickly organize all your image files, RAW or otherwise, highlighting, ranking and tagging the ones you like. You can also apply enhancements and corrections to the photo before exporting it to another application or directly to the web or print.
