Do you think Adobe Photoshop is too hard, or that it’s not needed to really finesse your photo processing? Let me help.
The precision and control you can exercise with your photographs in Adobe Photoshop can rise to the passion you bring to your photography. A photographer’s straightforward path through Adobe Photoshop need not be wide, deep, or overly complicated. It can be exactly the liberation your photograph needs to put the biases of your camera and the limitations of RAW aside and set your photographic aspirations free to hold the wonder you see.
As I've been using Adobe 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 Adobe Photoshop finesse.
This workshop is part of a series of classes concentrating on the tools within Adobe Photoshop critical to photographers. I will demonstrate how I use digital photographic editing tools with restraint and finesse. This class is designed to break down the steps to really understand the processes, and to work through difficult images.
Topics Include:
Selection Tools (including AI enabled tools)
Masks
Adjustment Layers
Curves and Tonal Editing
Color Correction
Image Aesthetics
These two days 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. This seminar is not about compositing or faking photographs. A number of images with various challenges will be worked through to satisfaction during the course of the workshop.
Software concentration will be mainly on Adobe Photoshop. Some previous exploration of Adobe Photoshop is recommended, but not required. Lab access is provided with access to color management tools.
