The Fine Art Print

March 19-21, 2010 **Date Change**

November 12-14, 2010

For the digital photographer: Photoshop can appear to be a dauntingly complex program, but most photographers' needs are deceivingly simple-they just want to make good looking prints from their images. This workshop is an in-depth look at the process of making high-quality fine art prints. We will conduct a comprehensive exploration of the digital image workflow, from maximizing the quality of the digital original, to massaging pixels to perfect tone, color and sharpness (with Photoshop layers, histograms, levels and curves, proper masking and use of filters).

We will also cover the best digital burning and dodging techniques, and discuss output in various media, including how to get consistent color-matching in prints. You will be able to practice all of the techniques on your own images, and will leave the workshop with finished prints. We will experiment with a variety of printing papers, subtrates, and print sizes. Our digital lab includes a variety of Epson printers with capabilites upto 24 inches wide. Our presentation will be refreshingly straightforward and practical.
