Hey Dartmouth peeps! I hope the first couple days of class are treating you well!
Everything is online this term, including the Digital Lab!
All workshops are online, and drop in office hours as well.
The full list of workshops and policies can be found on the Spring 2020 page, but I’m pleased to announce that the first workshop is this Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 on Darktable!
Darktable is an alternative to Adobe Lightroom, and is an open source photography software for both organization and editing of photos, for both raw and compressed image formats. We’ll cover the basic interface and how to use the editing tools and export images.
This is positioned at the beginning of the term so that students who may need to photograph their work in less than ideal circumstances can feel comfortable with an editing software that can help their images show off the work in the best light (pun totally intended)!
To attend the workshop, please email Jess at jess.smith@dartmouth.edu for the room number and password. Please have Darktable installed on your computer ahead of time, to facilitate learning during the workshop.
