Tutorial Night - Photo Workshop Tuesday December 2

Have you been having a problem getting that photo to look the way you visualize it?  Are you having a problem with your editing software and don't understand how to make it do what you want?  Are you using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3, or maybe Adobe Lightroom or Lightroom 2?

We all have those problems.  It takes time to develop experience in these programs where you feel comfortable with them.  On Tuesday, December 2, 2008 we will try to help you with those problems.  The meeting will be held at TAACCL, The Arts Alliance Center at Clear Lake, at 7:00pm.

We will set up the projector and have 2 or 3 laptops hooked up for show and tell.  We will have Photoshop CS2 and CS3.  We will also have Adobe Lightroom and Lightroom 2.  We need you to provide the photos.  Bring as many as you like but we would like to help as many people as possible. If there are more than enough to get through the night we may stop each person at two.  We will get through as many of them as we can in the allotted time.

If you have been working on a photo or two and just can't seem to get it lined out, bring it in.  We will perform a general workflow on it and see where that gets us.  If there are specific questions about a technique, we will try to answer your question that night onscreen.  If we cannot get you an answer that night we will make a log of questions and present the answers at another meeting.

We are not experts, but we will do our best to help with the knowledge we do have of the different versions listed above.  Anyone who has skilled knowledge of these programs, and has the time, should come out that night to help.

Please bring your photos on CD, DVD, memory card or USB key.  We would prefer it be in .psd format if you have already been working on it.  This will allow us to see the different layers and adjustments you tried to make while processing the photos.  Photoshop Elements also allows saving as a .psd file, and while we may not have that program, we can work that .psd in Photoshop.

Please bring the original file also.  We will need it for the workshop.
