Our color perception of the world is a pervasive influence on our hearts, and our understanding of space and time. Making color photographs can build on those influences or merely record by habit and defaults. Controlling color after the fact can be a real technological challenge. This seminar explores the color we see, the way we record it, and the challenges of displaying, controlling and reproducing it.

Discussions will include making a photograph where color matters, interpreting that color from a Raw capture, fine-tuning that interpretation, building custom camera profiles (and editing them) plus building a color managed workflow from capture to printing. 

Let me help you with your photographic aspirations and help hold the wonder you see.

This workshop is part of a series of classes concentrating on the tools within Photoshop critical to Photographers. It is a great chance to explore digital photographic editing with Steve. Demonstrations of his use of editing tools, executed with restraint and finesse, will benefit all of your digital photography work. This class is designed to break down the steps to really understand the processes, and to work through difficult images.

This three hour seminar will be spent exploring the tools really needed by photographers for fundamental image color control. Software concentration will be mainly on Adobe Camera Raw (or Lightroom) and Photoshop. This is a part one of more classes following up on these topics.
