RAW Power: Getting the Most From Your Photographs With RAW Files
Are you still shooting photographs in jpeg format? Up your game by shooting in RAW. This class will teach you how to use the RAW function on your camera, and how to process the resulting “digital negatives.”
You’ll learn the difference between RAW and jpeg files, and develop a workflow to optimize your RAW processing. Through exercises with provided files and time to practice with your own files, you’ll have hands-on opportunities to apply what you’ve learned. We’ll also cover free software options for those of you who don’t want to purchase Photoshop.
You will walk out of class with a basic knowledge of the process the pros use, and a few finished images to boot!
Please bring a laptop with Photoshop installed. You can download a free 30-day trial at adobe.com.
This class meets in the Digital Commons Dream Lab.

Instructor
John Deamond is officially an artist, or at least paid a lot for a degree that says so. Labeling himself an “autotype artist,” John deconstructs photography, investigating new methods of image-making that redefine the photographic. Educated at Parsons School of Design and St. Mary’s College of Maryland, he now works in an instructional support role at Montgomery College. His work has been shown in galleries and museums in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Baltimore, D.C., Las Vegas, Toronto, and California.
