Capturing an image is only one step in the process of creating a piece of art with the system we call photography. Photographers must perform specific actions to capture an image – no matter what camera is used. Processing the image for various end uses such as print, web, or LCD display also requires certain steps be performed – just as film had to be developed, so too must digital images be processed. This class shows you how.
