Easy Digital Imaging

Brochure Description

A new digital camera for Christmas? So exactly how do you get all those images onto your computer, edit them, remove any unwanted red-eye, or just give them a little tweak? It doesn’t have to be difficult – or expensive. Learn how to use FREE online software. Also how to share photographs with friends using on-line services. This is a good follow-up course if you attended our First Steps Digital Camera class in the autumn.

What will I learn during the course?

The course will explore just how easy it is to download and edit digital images. In addition to basic techniques such as cropping, and adjusting exposure, the course will also explore how to handle some of the common problems such as red-eye, un-sharp images and re-sizing of images. We will also look at ways of sharing images with others, through on-line services such as Jalbum.

Are there specific requirements for joining?

Owning a digital camera is the only pre-requisite, as you will be working on your own images.

How will I learn?

Chiefly hands-on, but with practical guidance on the features offered by photo editing software, and digital printing services.

How will my progress be recorded?

Personal portfolio of edited/unedited images.

Will there be homework? If so how much/how many hours?

No, but try to practice what you have learned each week.

Will there be additional costs?

(In the case of a recommended book, we suggest that you do not buy this until after the first session of your course in case the course does not run or the tutor changes)

No – but suitable reading and on-line sites will be suggested.

Do I need specific equipment or clothes?

Please bring your camera, images (on memory card or USB stick) & USB cable. Make sure that your camera battery is fully charged before you come.

What can I do next?

A further 5 week course will be arranged if sufficient people wish to carry on.
