Description

Just as a carpenter decides which tools are necessary to build a house, a photographer should know which tools in Photoshop will accomplish the task. Photographers have different needs than graphic artists or web designers – Lewis will approach Photoshop from a photographer’s perspective. Learning how to harness the power and the areas of Photoshop that are essential for the photographer is a challenge. We will take you 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 offers, then this workshop will expand your knowledge of the portions that are useful to photographers. Learn the power of curves, how to use the History Palette for more than undos, sophisticated sharpening techniques, advanced spotting techniques, the power of adjustment layers. Learn to selectively apply filters, color corrections, and contrast controls without making time-consuming selections. We will also cover layer masks, channel masks, color management, and tips for making great prints.
