In this one day workshop, we'll cover practical methods of getting high quality prints from your digital photographs. Acquire hands on experience with color management, tonal and detail controls within Adobe Photoshop. Improve your prints, whether you use your own printer or an outside lab.

Several of the techniques will be demonstrated using Adobe Photoshop. To get the most out of the day, I encourage you to bring a laptop computer with Photoshop to the workshop. If you don't have Photoshop, you can download a trial version at:
