Description

Just as a carpenter decides which tools are necessary to build a house, a photographer needs to know which tools in Photoshop will accomplish the task. 

Photographers have different needs than graphic artists or web designers.  In this workshop we will approach Photoshop from a photographers perspective, not that of a designer or computer geek. Photoshop is one of the most complex and powerful image editing programs available today. Learning how to harness the power and the areas of Photoshop that are essential for the photographer is a challenge. You will go beyond the basics and into more depth.

You need to know the tools, where the menus are, how to create layers and adjustment layers. If you feel you are not comfortable knowing 15-25 % of what Photoshop™ has to offer, then this workshop will expand your knowledge into the remaining portions that are useful to photographers.

Starting with the raw file and working your way through all the refinements to your images we will cover Curves, Selective Color, using Adjustment Layers and masks to apply local changes.  You will take that initial raw file and turn it into a masterpiece! And you will also learn how to resize and sharpen images to obtain the finest output.
