 Digital images are never perfect right out of the camera. At best they need color correction and sharpening, and at worst they need everything!
Photoshop guru Steve Burger and former Arizona Highways picture editor J. Peter Mortimer have teamed up to offer the “Shoot-n-Photoshop” weekend. During this two day digital boot camp, you’ll learn shooting techniques and five Photoshop power moves that will make a night and day difference in your photography: Cropping, Levels, Saturation, Image Size, and Sharpening. We'll also cover Workflow and File Prep.
Under the watchful eye of your two instructors, you will spend Saturday morning at the Phoenix Zoo where there is almost unlimited potential to make great animal pictures. Photographic technique will be the order of the day as you do everything technically and artistically possible to make the best “in-camera” images. Composition, exposure,
histograms, lenses, and camera shooting modes will all come into play.
At the afternoon critique session, each participant will select several images to be projected and discussed. These will also become the pictures that you will work on in Photoshop during day two. Your pictures will be used, not “sample” photography!
During the lab on Sunday, each student will work on a supplied computer with Photoshop CS4. All instruction will be compatible should you be using another Adobe Photoshop version on your home computer. A “cheat sheet” of covered topics will also be given to you as a helpful review.
Not only will you hone your photographic skills during this weekend, but after just two days, Photoshop will no longer be a mystery. We’ll have lots of fun, too!
 Note: All digital cameras are welcome, but students should have a routine understanding of how their equipment functions. While a knowledge of Photoshop is not necessary, it’s important that all participants be familiar with using a computer.
