Intermediate Photoshop Elements: Color Correction Techniques for Librarians (one-day workshop for library and literacy staff and volunteers)

The procedures taught in this one-day workshop will be invaluable in helping attendees make the colors in their photos pop, as well as correct color casts and other color-related issues.

Topics include:

• Manual and scientific color correction methods
• Adjustment layers
• Histograms
• Using color swatch digital target cards for studio portrait correction
• Drag and drop color correction on a series of photos

Class Prerequisite: Attendees must have completed the Photoshop Elements Beginning, parts 1 and 2 classes, or receive special permission from the instructor. This is NOT a basic level class, but intermediate.

Kathy Blick O'Donnell, ODL's computer & app lab coordinator, trainer, and Photoshop Elements enthusiast, will teach the class.

Travel stipend for overnight stay may be available if public library, library system, tribal library or literacy organization is 60 miles or more from ODL. Initial travel stipend paperwork must be returned to ODL before the class date. Contact Doris Dixon to request paperwork via email Doris.Dixon@libraries.ok.gov or phone (405) 522-3217. Stipend will be based on lodging receipt, up to $92. If lodging charges are less than $92, the contract will be written for the actual amount, not $92. Mileage also may be reimbursed at 30 cents/mile if you are paying for your own gas & cannot collect from your library/literacy organization. Stipend contracts will be made out to the library/literacy organization. It will be your responsibility to collect your reimbursement from such organization. No travel stipend contracts will be paid until the class has been attended and photocopied proof of overnight stay (if applicable) has been submitted to the Office of Library Development.

Classes made possible by funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
