Adobe Photoshop Lightroom : Introduction
Developed by photographers for photographers, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom allows professional photographers to manage, adjust and present large volumes of digital photographs.

This one day Adobe authorised course is designed to ensure you harness the potential of Lightroom to dramatically improve the way you manage digital images, from raw capture to creative output.
