This practical seminar has been designed specifically for nature and outdoor photographers who want to master the post-capture processing techniques essential to creating high-quality digital photographs of the landscape, wildlife and nature. Course content concentrates around explaining and illustrating how to apply effectively and expertly photography-based processes, such as fine-tuning exposure, light and contrast, and managing and correcting colour, as well as revealing practical skills for producing high quality B&W digital images and special effects, such as Infrared, the Velvia effect and cross-processing - all easily achievable using standard digital processes.
Understanding that not all users have access to the latest and greatest software solutions, the course covers techniques that are applicable to both Photoshop Elements, as well as recent versions of Photoshop up to CS3. And whatever your current level of proficiency in using Photoshop, we guarantee that all the processes described during the seminar are simple-to-apply once you’re in front of your own computer, back home. Presented by a leading tutor in Photoshop and digital imaging, the Essential Photoshop Techniques for Nature Photographers seminar will set you on the path to perfecting digital photography of the natural world.
