The second workshop in this series, Mastering Tools, Layers, Selections and Curves in CS5, will be held on Mar 30th. This session will focus on acquiring the skills to use basic and advanced features in Adobe Photoshop, and how to manipulate images after optimization.
The final workshop, High Dynamic Range Photography, is scheduled for Apr 20th. The focus of this session will be extending your camera’s ability to respond to a wider range of light.

“Moderately priced digital cameras make it possible for individuals to document the world around them in exciting ways,” explains Dunn. “The challenge is optimizing the image before and after it’s been captured. This series will teach pre- and post-capture workflow that will allow them to realize their photographic vision.”
In order to participate in this workshop series, participants must possess a digital camera with at least a 10-megapixel sensor. Cost to attend these workshops is $275 for the entire series or $100 per session.
