The best classes are small and targeted for your specific interests and skill levels.
A class on black and white photography has been requested (captured in color, but with black and
white as a goal). The class will be 2 hours and it will cover the many digital conversion techniques that
give you the vision and control needed to produce beautiful black and white images. It will also cover fine
art finishing techniques that can be used to make all your photos the best possible.
The date will be selected when a few other people email me that they are interested in this class. It will be
a workshop and the skill level in Photoshop is Intermediate. A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 is all that
is required. If you would prefer, tutoring is available as well.
These techniques will give you the vision to accomplish what you see when you snap the shutter. You will
also be given tools that will give you unlimited artistic freedom and control. Printed materials furnished.

way to tone!
To help you get the most from the digital darkroom classes I have defined the SKILL

BASIC: New to digital photography but comfortable with computers.
INTERMEDIATE: You should be comfortable with basic computer operations, and a
working knowledge of PhotoshopCS3, or CS4 or Elements 6 or 7.

processing photos faster and better! Also lets explore the WORLD of the techniques
and tools in Photoshop!
