Develop Your Inner Shutterbug with OLLI
Post-Processing Your Photos
Mondays, August 5 - 26
1:15 - 3:30 p.m.
Peoria Next Innovation Center
Post-processing is a technique used to transform your digital photos from what was captured in a camera either to be closer to what your eyes actually saw or to alter the image artistically. In this study group, we'll learn about a variety of post-processing techniques, ranging from simple photo enhancements to major photo alterations. Our discussions and tips will help you give a personalized, unique look to your photography. Most of the discussions will involve Photoshop, an image-editing software. It is recommended, but not required, that participants have a laptop with the software.
$45 - facilitated by Coke Mattingly, photographer and frequent class instructor and learning trip guide.
Register online
or give us a call at (309) 677-3900 to sign up for this informative and fun study group.

Bradley Ranks Number One in Finding Employment
Finding a job after graduation isn't always easy, but choosing Bradley can help you lock in one. The career site
Zippia ranked schools based on students finding employment after graduation and Bradley is #1 in Illinois.
Bradley has several nationally known programs including engineering, game design, and health professions; these industries are growing, and the jobs are in high demand. Bradley offers what the economy needs, and students are prepared with both the classroom knowledge and the soft skills that employers say is lacking these days.
Bradley has a 93% placement rate (5-year average) which means those graduates reported finding employment or chose to continue their education within six months of graduation.
