No .raw format please because Adobe Photoshop has to be customized in advanced to handle raw files. Files can be stored on a flash drive or online. Also bring a pair of headphones with a standard headphone jack that can be plugged into the computer (not imperative, but might come in handy with the final topic if you want to watch a YouTube video).
Materials provided at the workshop:
