TENTATIVE ITINERARY

• For those interested in practicing the Photoshop techniques learned earlier in the day, the lab is available until 9pm tonight.

Days Two and Three

We'll have some models pre-arranged for a few of our sessions, but will also rely on "found" situations to supply us with some outstanding photos from which to work. J. Peter Mortimer will teach you various techniques for capturing powerful portraits.
• After breakfast, Steve will instruct students on a number of Photoshop techniques, including Image Adjustments, Photoshop Workflow, Layer Masks and Gradients and Prepping Images for Printing.
