  Workshop Description:

Photography is more than just creating the image, in fact the image you have captured on your memory card or film is only the beginning.   A successful image is one that speaks to the viewer and relays the emotions and beauty of the subject as the reason for creating it.  We will discuss advanced Photoshop techniques that will take your prints from good to WOW!


What we’ll cover:

  • What makes an “Expressive” image
  • Previsualizing the finished print
  • The “Master File” philosophy of fine print making
  • Bit Depth
  • The Green Channel Technique for added “Pop”
  • Burning and dodging
  • Working with Layers
  • Working with Masks
  • File Handling and Backup
  • Resizing your image for the best prints
  • Advanced Interpolation techniques
  • Dealing with difficult highlights
  • Working with Raw files
  • Working with a lab
  • And much more
  • Plus Edward’s 20-30 page (Stuff is always added) workbook containing many of the techniques shown during the workshop.
