Note:
If you are taking the online
section you may work
on either a Mac or a Windows machine. You will also need access
to image editing software that allows you to resize, rename, adjust
brightness and contrast, and save images as jpeg files to be uploaded
to the course shell. There are many products that will work including
Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture.
Demonstrations will primarily be created using Photoshop and Lightroom. Photoshop
and Lightroom are recommended.
If you are taking the in-person on-campus
section it will benefit you greatly to have access to
a computer at home with the software listed above. This section
is offered as hybrid class meaning you will participate in discussions
online, upload your assignments online, and receive essential
instruction online. You will have some class time to work on
the computer and there are computers available to you in Hyman
Hall; but previous students' experiences strongly suggests you
should be prepared to work at home.
