Too many people are intimidated by Photoshop or don’t understand its amazing power. This seminar is designed to get you up and running in Photoshop, through set-up, basic functions important to photographers, and straightforward workflows. Having used Photoshop longer than anyone he knows (except Thomas and John Knoll), Stephen Johnson been down the evolutionary paths of the software. He has contributed to to Photoshop’s development and consulted with Adobe on features and is an excellent choice to help out photographers needing to benefit from its control and ability to finesse your photo edits.
History
As I've been using Photoshop since 1989 (as Barenyscan XP) and teaching it since 1991, the opportunity to make a real difference for you is clear to me. And I can make a difference in overcoming fear and help build Photoshop finesse.
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 control and finishing. Color correction, careful tonal control, and preserving options into archive versions of your files will be our primary concerns. Software concentration is on Adobe Photoshop. A number of images with various challenges will be worked through to satisfaction during the course of the workshop. This seminar is not about compositing or faking photographs.
