Adobe Lightroom Classic CC: Print, Slideshow & Web Module

Explore Lightroom's external editing panel to send a photo to Photoshop CC, choosing to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments, a copy of the original, or the original file.

Explore common image file formats—JPEG, TIFF, RAW, DMG—and how color depth affects file size, illustrated by saving the same image in color and black and white at max quality.

Understand how light becomes raw data in a camera, why raw files are proprietary, and how formats like DNG and TIFF enable universal compatibility via the image sensor.

Contrast raw and jpeg to explain that raw yields higher quality but requires more system resources and storage, while jpeg enables faster processing for eight bit colour depth printers.

Compare raw, dng, and tiff formats, and explain camera proprietary data and compatibility challenges. Recognize dmg as a universal lossless standard with 16‑bit color and interoperability for Lightroom and Photoshop.

Explore how color spaces define color ranges, comparing Pro Photo RGB, Adobe RGB, and sRGB, and note that monitors may display colors only within the Adobe RGB space.

Compare color spaces using Color Sync to visualize size differences between Adobe RGB, sRGB, and CMYK, and learn why Adobe RGB often encompasses CMYK for print.

Explore Lightroom external editing by exporting to Photoshop CC in TIFF with pro photo gb color space and 16-bit depth for optimal tone, print, and web output.
