What is image production and photo editing?

# data[].attributes.body
Photo editing is just as it sounds...you are changing something about the photograph or image. People tend to do this to make the image look "better." It may also be done to fix visual errors. Terms such as "airbrushing," "Photo-shopping" or "touching up" are often used to describe the editing of photos.

-The cloud storage lets you access your photos from anywhere, share photos with anyone by posting them directly to social media sites, share your portfolio, and share through Adobe Spark (included in the membership.)
-Step-by-step tutorials for any level of photography experience are available. You can be a beginner or a professional photographer/editor to use this program.

I would personally recommend this software use for middle school-age children and up. This is a more professional-type of software program, but it can be used by any age that can follow the tutorials.

*A picture says a thousand words! *

-Students can discuss what they see, what the image portrays, what perspective the photographer is trying to share with us.
-This software gives the students choice in what photos and images they are using. They have the freedom to change them however they would like. (i.e. lighting, airbrushing, sharpening, tagging, cropping, exposure etc.)
-Students also need to be thinking about how others may respond to the images they publish. It is important to keep that piece in mind in order to support your classroom community.

Adobe was founded in December 1982, by Charles Geschke and John Warnock. They have since created software programs such as Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Creative Cloud, Premiere Pro, and Lightroom.

This picture was edited using Lightroom. You can see how the colors have really lightened and the image is much sharper. He was even able to create a reflection of color in the water from the sunset.

Lightroom starts out with a free 7-day trial period, and then will charge you $9.99/month. You can sign up with just your name, email address and credit card information. I signed up as a “teacher” and now have my own account. You can also sign up as a "student."

Nobody should be able to access your account unless you do not log yourself out. You share your images personally and others don’t have the access to your creations.

This picture was recently taken by my brother in Italy. He used Adobe Lightroom to edit it and you can see how much more beautiful the photograph turned out!    ------------------>

Students can share their portfolios and post directly to media sites where they can then read/write/comment on one another's images. This helps form community in the classroom by allowing students to openly give and receive feedback on each other's work. Sharing these comments may open other's eyes to different perspectives they may have overlooked.

I think a school would benefit from purchasing this tool for students. From what I've researched, Adobe Lightroom gives the most amount of options for making changes, it isn't overly expensive, and the images turn out beautiful. It is important to keep in mind the privacy issue of having the ability to tag and search for faces...maybe that option should not be allowed within school?? If possible, settings may need to be changed to secure student privacy and information. Overall, this program receives my personal stamp of approval!
