Course Description

Your photographs are stored in folders on your computer, and many of these photos are without descriptive names or numbering. When you want to use photos for your website or share them with others, it can be a time-consuming process to locate the images you need. Sometimes those images need correction or enhancement, and once you do locate them you need to open an image editing program to make your desired changes. Microsoft® Expression® Media enables you to visually organize and catalog photos, and to use Media's tools to make image corrections. In this course, you will work with Expression Media to catalog images; sort, search, and view images; create a slide show; and edit photographs within a familiar Microsoft software environment. You will organize and enhance media.

Who should attend?

Current Microsoft Office users who want to organize and enhance their photos to make them web or print ready, and for individuals who may have some website creation experience.

What will I learn?

How to use the Media interface to navigate the catalog and set general preferences. Create a catalog of imported photos. Use annotations and metadata to organize and search media. Edit images and adjust the color of an image using Expression Media options. Prepare images to share with others.
