Weekly Event - Every Wednesday: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PT)
THE ICON is hosting a free series of digital imaging classes in our customer service lounge. Our Digital Image Workflow classes will be taught by Lee Varis, The Icon's Digital Guru. Classes will focus on the same topic for one month so classes will repeat 4 times, always on Wednesday evening. If you miss a class one week it will repeat the next week - each month will feature a new topic.
Classes are limited to 15 attendees; please register only once for the current topic so everyone has an opportunity to attend.
Place:
Customer Service Lounge at The Icon
Day:
Every Wednesday*
Time:
7:00PM - 8:30PM
August Class Topic:
B+W Techniques for ACR & Lightroom
Further adventures in RAW processing will focus on B+W conversion techniques. This class will cover basic and more advanced approaches to B+W RAW processing including:
• HSL/Grayscale adjustments
• Split Toning & Colorizing
• Setting up Presets "folders" and a strategy for using presets
• Gradient and Brush Tools - special uses with grayscale images
• De-saturating & white balance as an alternative B+W strategy
• Introduction to the Print module
The basic idea is to set up your working methods in the most efficient way for consistent results and to establish an image archive that is flexible and expandable without working yourself into a corner. Each of the 4 classes will cover the same material with enough time for a question and answer session at the end to address specific needs of individual photographers.
