How does it work
The keyboard layout is able to be changed to your operating system and usually opens to the current one, you then select the program and version you have. These are all above the keyboard. Below is the search bar if you are looking for a specific command. It then tells you what keys will help you out. But it gets better: press another key, like Shift or Space, and the display changes to tell you what each key will now do. It's all color-coded, too, so you know which key brings about what change.

 

Color Correction

Color correction is best described as Camera filters  cellophane that fits over the lens or the film while printing.

There is a term well fix it in post meaning after the photo is taken we can make it look better. The misconception is that you can fix anything but that is not true. You can only work with what you got. If you are missing a person or body part you can only get it back if you have another photo with that person from the same photo shoot. that is why taking many photos is always a good idea. 

The below site has some great reading on both uses of color in photographs during and after a photo event. It is a bit of reading but if you remember a colors class from elementary school you should be fine. 

Color Correction. This is a great site with both color use and color correction. 

If you don't want to read that is fine below is the exercise for color correction and it covers the same concept. Practice on your own photos as well I love to see student progress.
