Randall, Associate Professor of Earth Sciences at East Los Angeles College, will show you how to take better pictures and how to edit them using software.

Workshop Description

Do you have pictures that are muddy looking? Or perhaps some parts of your pictures are too bright, while others (often faces) are too dark? Have you wondered how you can improve your pictures?

This photography workshop will teach you how to take better pictures and how to fix them on your computer using Adobe Lightroom and other apps. We will also discuss when it is appropriate to edit your pictures, and when it might NOT be appropriate.

*CDLS does not provide access to Adobe Creative Cloud. Participants can either (1) use one of eight computers in the computer lab that has Adobe Creative Cloud already installed or (2) install Adobe Creative Cloud on their personal devices. UCLA students can install the Adobe Creative Cloud software on personal devices for free.
