Four meetings: Thursday evenings, November 8,15, 6-9pm, Saturday mornings, November 10,17, 9am-12pm

Cost: $275
Instructor: David Ulrich

Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop—all integrated parts of the Adobe Photoshop “family”—offer an unprecedented set of tools for editing and manipulating photos for expressive results. This advanced basic to intermediate-level class, which meets over four sessions, covers the chief features of RAW processing in Camera Raw and Lightroom and the multiple pixel editing tools available in Photoshop. Because it meets over multiple weeks, it offers an opportunity to ‘take home” the lessons, digest the tools, and apply them to your own work in a way that is not possible in an intensive, weekend workshop.

Week One: Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom controls for raw processing, global editing, noise reduction, B&W transformations, lens corrections, parametric and point tone curves, and powerful local editing tools. Workflow and import options. 

Week Two: Photoshop adjustment layers, content layers, and smart objects. Learn non-destructive techniques fully edit your photograph for highly expressive results, employ filters non-destructively, and integrate Camera Raw and pixel editing tools in a single Photoshop file.

Week Three: The incredibly powerful and versatile tools of layer masks, luminance and color masks, and layer blending modes.

Week Four: Get it clean; get it sharp; and get it sized and optimized for various forms of output. The power of content-aware editing, retouching, color spaces/color conversion intents, interpolation algorithms, and effective methods for sharpening different types of output.   

You’ll leave the class with a much better understanding of global and local Raw and pixel processing as well as learning about the full integration of Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop into your workflow.

Please review the basic toolbar and menu settings in Photoshop as well as the basics of layer management. You can review layer management here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/layer-basics.html

Class is taught on iMac computers with Photoshop CC 2017 with provided training files. Also, please bring 6-8 full resolution images of your own to work on during the class.

Humor, beauty, love and pain are hidden in plain sight as we travel through our daily lives. The street photographer uses light, shadow and people of the street to capture these moments. Moments that transcend race, nationality and culture. The resulting images are the gifts the street photographer gives to us all. Join Tony and Ian as we walk the streets of Honolulu chasing shadows and interacting with strangers all with the understanding that what we are doing is justifiable, meaningful and truly important. The class will focus on traditional candid street photography, the use of shadows and silhouettes in composition, and street portraiture.

This workshop will take place on two consecutive Sundays. Day one will consist of 1 hour of classroom lecture followed by three hours of walking the streets of Waikiki. Day two will consist of 3 hours of walking the streets of downtown followed by 1 hour of a moderated photo critique in the classroom.

Please bring your own camera and a USB card reader. You must have a basic understanding of how to use your camera. Please wear comfortable attire.
