Managing your Digital Image Workflow

Full-day course: 10.00 - 16.30

Aim

Is your collection of images disorganised and giving you a headache? Are you drowning in digital images and unable to find the images you need, when you need them? Do you find images you want to use but have no idea who owns the copyright? If so, this course will help you get your collection back on track.

Being able to manage a digital image workflow is a vital skill for both individuals and institutions in today's market place. On this course you will consider a workflow from the ground up. You will work with a series of images looking at the essential elements of managing them through their lifecycle. File formats including raw will be both discussed and used, and you will get hands-on experience of using applications including Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to both edit and manage your images. You will look at methods for sorting through and prioritising images, managing versions and learn how to use appropriate metadata to maximise the value of your collection. Ultimately you will be able to find the right images for a given scenario, and then produce image content appropriate for onscreen and print use.
