This introductory-intermediate one day workshop showcases commonsense Photoshop techniques, logical production strategies and creative visual problem-solving. It is designed for enthusiasts and professional photographers, artists and designers who want to appreciate, understand and apply Photoshop to profoundly enhance their images post their initial RAW file processing (in Lightroom or other RAW processors).
The aim is to answer all your questions while inspiring and facilitating your creative outcomes. Specific topics that have been covered in this workshop include:
Tone and Colour Correction
• Integrating Lightroom and Photoshop into a seamless workflow
• Processing in Lightroom and Editing in Photoshop

• LAB colour: The advantages and disadvantages of working in CIE LAB
• Separating luminosity and chromaticity strategies
Creative Image Editing

• Photorealistic – image capture and extraction
• Advanced selection and processing techniques
• Advanced sharpening – darken/lighten, wavelet, and deconvolution
• Real-time editing of large image files via low-resolution proxies
• Smart Filters – adjustment filter layers

• Intensification and reduction – Lighten, Darken, Screen, Multiply
• Editing tone and colour – Color, Hue, Saturation, Luminosity
• Variable contrast controls – Soft Light, Overlay, Hard Light
• Layer stacking and alignment – Difference, Subtract, Add

Masking and Compositing

While only a basic working knowledge of Photoshop is assumed, the workshop’s outcomes can be successfully applied to any workflow at any level. We then ensure you are working with the most appropriate tools and workflow, including the critical distinctions and skills required for the significant enhancement of your images.
Though not essential, you are encouraged to bring along a laptop computer with Adobe Photoshop CC installed, and several of your images to work on. The workshop is also supported by a resource-rich website including detailed course notes, videos, and images.
