This Intermediate class will extend students' skills from the classroom out into functional field photo sessions. Alternating classroom theory, on location photo sessions and follow up critiques, will broaden the student's abilities. This type of class will be a practical example of what has been learned and what areas need additional study. Alex's unique and creative way of seeing will challenge you and help you discover your imagination.
Class is limited to 15 students. (Minimum enrollment of 5 students)

Today's photographers live in a digital world. We no longer "snap pictures" and send film to the labs for processing. Today we "digitally capture" images, process them on our computers, distribute them online, and print them on our desktop printers.

With the right knowledge, today's amateurs can produce much higher quality results, even with inexpensive inkjet printers, than even the most professional chemistry lab ever could. This knowledge requires both left brain and right brain, art and science, an aesthetic eye and technical editing software expertise.

How does one acquire this knowledge? By taking this class.

Level one is a college-level, 15 session class, three hours per session, that covers the basics of digital capture, digital editing using Adobe Photoshop (the industry standard image editing software) and using Adobe Lightroom as an alternative raw file converter and digital manager.

This is a hands-on-computer class designed to help students with little or no prior digital experience learn the tools needed to produce professional-quality results. Instruction emphases mastering Photoshop with some additional insights into how to use digital cameras for optimal results. Students will receive a brief introduction to Adobe Lightroom, its strength and weakness, designed to help students decide whether to include Lightroom into their digital workflow.

The classroom is equipped with 9 Macintosh workstations available to the first 9 registering students. Additional students may bring Photoshop-loaded laptops to class. Total class size is limited to 15 students. Class lesson materials and practice image files will be distributed on CD to paid registrants at class 2.

Photography today requires more than knowledge of digital cameras. Digital image editing using a quality image-editing software is a must. Adobe Photoshop, costing more than $500, is preferred by professionals and serious amateurs. For those who cannot afford the full version of Photoshop, Adobe created Photoshop Elements, costing from $82.99.

Surprise, Photoshop Elements has the same software core as the full version of Photoshop with a more user-friendly interface and with some of the high-end commands and specialized applications disabled. As a result, it is usually possible to obtain very high quality images on a budget.

This is a 1/2 semester (7 session) hands-on-computer course.
Minimum 4 students, maximum 15.
