Hands-On Digital Printing & Photoshop Workshop

Our next workshop will be held at Fotografiens Hus in Oslo 9.–12. of May.

Adobe Photoshop is the most powerful darkroom ever. In this four-day workshop at Fotografien Hus in downtown Oslo, Jean Miele and Pål Otnes will teach you:

- the latest options for black-and-white and color printing
- how to control contrast, tone, sharpness, and grain with incredible precision
- the best ways to convert from color to B&W
- effective workflow procedures, including actions & batch-processing
- how to use ICC profiles for printing

Through plenty of hands-on computer time in the lab, you’ll learn by actually working on your own image files. There will be step-by-step Photoshop and printing demonstrations, and discussions of how to optimize your shooting for digital darkroom work. Included in the workshop are portfolio reviews, thought-provoking in-class discussions, a shooting trip in the Oslo area, and lots of laughter and fun over group lunches and dinners.

We will spend extra time on black-and-white conversion and printing, and teach you how to do great digital “darkroom” work. Our technique – relying on layers and masks – gives you the power to change your mind at any point with no loss in image quality, even after an image has been closed and reopened.
This workshop empowers you to apply the full potential of Adobe Photoshop, and explore the infinite possibilities of working digitally. The emphasis of this class is real-world workflow and printing techniques for photographers, designers, and artists, whether you work in black-and-white or color.

The facility will only allow 10 participants, so enrol today to reach the next level in Photoshop.
