Adobe Photoshop can be a photographer’s best friend. This four-day workshop focuses on learning the basic and most essential features of Photoshop with the photographer in mind.

We begin by walking through options for workflow and exploring various tools for refining and enhancing images. Participants will master the basic tools (selections, retouching, image enhancing, and more) and menus of Adobe Photoshop and proceed to one of its most versatile, powerful and creative features—Layers (including adjustment layers and layer masks).

Working with digital capture, we explore the powerful ways to optimize your processing skills, imagery and vision that can only be achieved with the flexibility of the digital realm and Photoshop. Rick includes hands-on demonstrations, practical lab exercises, in-the-field photography in the Santa Fe area, and extensive time processing images in Photoshop to ensure a well-rounded experience. Ultimately, we produce archival digital prints that rival the finest traditional methods.

Rick knows once the learning and creative energy gets going we don’t want to stop, so evening lab hours are available to continue practicing our new skills and techniques, and to afford us time to create and work on personal projects.
