These workshops focus on the mechanics involved in creating a fine print using the tools that are part of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom or Photoshop Elements. Sessions are made up of lectures and demonstrations of each topic with lots of time for hands on practice and individual instruction. 

The first three sessions are dedicated to using Adobe products to implement a RAW workflow for import, sorting, cataloging, and global tone and color enhancements. (Since Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Lightroom all use the same core Adobe Camera RAW this session is applicable to users of any of the Adobe image editing products.) 

The next four sessions are devoted to using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to implement the balance of the image enhancement workflow. These sessions are targeted at providing students with skills necessary to create master image files.  And to then re-purpose those master files to export for monitor based display (web sites, email, digital projection) and/or creating prints; all in a color managed workflow. 

The final session is dedicated to lab time to permit students time to put what they have learnt in use creating a few master image files of their own images where the instructors can answers questions quickly.
