In this two day class, we will show you the techniques we use to achieve prints that look great and reliably match the master image file as closely as possible. As with all aspects of photography, becoming a master printer could take a lifetime. But with the information and workflow ideas that we will share in this class, our goal is to take some of the mystery and anxiety out of printing, simplify the process and help you consistently create prints that you love.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
Types Of Prints
Monitor Calibration
Profiles
Workflow and Processing Considerations
Lab Printing and Home Printing
Soft Proofing
Test Printing and Evaluation
We are fortunate to be able to collaborate with HD Aluminum Prints, a company that specializes in the highest quality dye sublimation aluminum printing available. In the class, we will cover how to get great print results from a variety of printers and print media. Then we will help you prepare one of your images for aluminum printing, which will be printed for you by HD Aluminum Prints. At the end of the class, you will have a 20’x30” gloss finish aluminum print to take home. You will be also able to talk to HD Aluminum Prints owner and fellow photographer, Randy Hopfer, and take a tour of the facility to learn how aluminum dye sublimation prints are made.

Private Photoshop Sessions (online, or in person)
Private online Photoshop workshops are a fantastic way to learn photoshop remotely from the comfort of your own home. I've been teaching Photoshop for over 15 years, I always dreamed of being able to teach remotely like this and now technology allows me to do just that. I'm currently using two technologies to allow me to give the best possible experience. I use Skype for online video chat sessions, I'm able to share my screen, allowing students to see what I'm doing in Photoshop. I also make screenshot recordings of the entire session which are available for download after the session. This allows students to interact with me one on one, and also have an archived high quality video file to study after the session.
I teach students of all ability levels, from beginners to professional photographers. Whether you'd like to learn the basics, or master advanced photoshop techniques, I can help you.
Recommended items: I recommend having a mic, either a built in mic or external mic. This makes the online chat experience much more fulfilling. A fast broadband connection is also required, the video quality of the session depends on your bandwidth.
Price: $99 per hour
