Hallmark Institute of Photography faculty and students participated in beta testing of this premier software prior to its April 2007 release.

Turners Falls, MA (PRWEB) May 20, 2007 -- Hallmark Institute of Photography proudly announces the integration of the newly released Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Software into its digital curriculum. As stated by Adobe, its Photoshop Lightroom Software "is the professional photographer's essential toolbox, providing one easy application for managing, adjusting, and presenting large volumes of digital photographs so you can spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the lens."

Since November, Adobe has been in communication with the faculty and students at Hallmark in refining the product prior to its release in April of 2007. Julieanne Kost, of Adobe, arrived at Hallmark during the week of the official release of the software to personally train our faculty in its use. In the weeks to come, it will become an important part of Hallmark's digital curriculum.
