2 Upcoming Meetings: Friday, April 22, 2016, 5:30-6:30pm Burlington Library Conference Room NOTE CHANGE TO 4 TH FRIDAY Photo Class Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) by Lee Dygert Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate Useful for anyone camera type or manufacturer doesn t matter. ACR is a very powerful processing tool. ACR is the front end of processing that is used to process RAW images, before they are launched into the main program (Photoshop or Elements). Most changes I make to an image are done in ACR. I use Photoshop only as a touch up program. I will walk through the processing with ACR, using a few of my images to show how l process. The images will be projected on the screen so you can easily follow along as I work through processing in ACR. My hope is that each person can catch a few techniques that I use that would be new to them. I'm not an expert on everything in ACR what I have learned is self-taught.
