Digital Post Production Workshop.
Duration - 2 days : 1 - 4 Students
We take your basic understanding of a digital image and using a desktop or Laptop computer prepare and finish images ready for print.
Target individual :
You will be able to produce a digital image from a camera or scanner and also have basic computer operating experience and are looking to turn your original images into stunning prints. This is a creative user workshop and not a Information Technology Training, life is far too short for all that stuff !.
Topics covered :
RAW and JPeg capture, uploading and storage into your computer, managing files with the operating system and a media management program such as Adobe Lightroom, simple and advanced processing of the images ready for print in Adobe Photoshop, managing the computer and printer colour profiles, screen calibration and finally creating a professional quality print.
Notes :
Training is normally presented on the Apple Mac platform but all tuition is relevant to Windows based programs and Windows Computers are offered subject to availability.
You are also invited to bring your own personal computers to the sessions to allow hands on experience using your own systems.

A few FAQ's
What Software is used for the tuition ?
We focus on Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop CS or Adobe Photoshop Elements as required. Please ask about other software programs.
We also look at various utilities for image file handling and monitor/printer calibration.
How much digital imaging work is involved in the workshops ?
The aim is to take an image file from a camera and create a print to professional standards. We do some simple digital correction to 'finish' the image. We do not become too involved in Digital manipulation, but the basics can be covered if required. Tuition is aimed at finishing an image rather tha creating digital artworks.
What is 'Workflow' and do we look at whatever it is ?
Workflow is the process that we use to take an image and create a final print, web file or archive, and yes, workflow is an integral part of the workshop.
I need advice on stuff like different printers, backing up and networking, can we cover this ?
Yes, the workshops uses these in practice so you will experience their benefits and look at how to set them up yourself - as long as this does not get in the way of the creative work.
