Basic Digital Image Enhancement with Photoshop

This weekend workshop covers the fundamental Photoshop skills and tools used by photographers to enhance their digital images and create an effective workflow.

During two, six-hour days, Mitch explores the possibilities, limitations, essential shortcuts, and straightforward techniques for getting the most out of the digital photography process.

With this understanding, we then learn to edit, catalog, enhance, automate routine tasks, and create output presentations across multiple media, including print, web, and digital projections.

The workshop will benefit the beginner Photoshop user as well as the intermediate user in need of brushing up on skills or rounding out their Photoshop knowledge.

The Fine Art Digital Print

This workshop teaches the professional skills necessary to craft exhibition-quality prints with an Epson printer.

While modern Epson 'prosumer' printers are capable of producing high quality digital prints, they don't work optimally out of the box. The two-day weekend course teaches participants how to get the prints they envisioned out of their Epson printer. The focus is on printing with both color and black/gray pigment inks on coated and rag papers.

• Hardware, ink and media
• Color management concepts, monitor calibration and paper profiling
• Fine Art printing tools and color workflow
• Black and white printing workflow

Instructor: Mitch Soileau
