EDITING IN ADOBE CAMERA RAW (ACR)                    

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

If you love photography, then you are in the right place! We’ll show you the BEST, EASIEST and FASTEST ways to edit and enhance all your favorite images!

Discover new imaging superpowers by mastering the tools in ACR - the engine at the heart of all Adobe photo editing software!

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is the powerful software engine for editing your photographs non-destructively. It is the foundation of LightRoom, Bridge, and even Photoshop when they are called upon to process Raw file types such as Nikon’s .NEF,  Canon’s CR2, Sony’s .ARW, and more than 300 others.

This course will deliver the core tips for professionally editing your images in a way that could never harm your photos. Photoshop is a destructive editor, nonchalantly tossing colors, data, & tones without hope of recovery. ACR avoids this terrible fate. Learn to batch process multiple files, batch preview, even rescue and fine-tune images better than the pros!

This course includes over 2 hours of on-demand informative videos with full lifetime access!!
