Workshop: Basic Photo Editing – Doug Johnston
Topic – Basic Photo Editing
Presenter: Doug Johnston
Date: January 8, 2022
Join this workshop to explore how to use your editing software to adjust what you captured and create your best possible images. We will explore how to assess your image before making any adjustments, and then will apply the various tools available in your software to achieve exceptional results. To do this we will discuss approaches to removing distractions; cropping for composition; adjusting for tone; adding contrast; enhancing colours; eliminating noise; adding sharpening; and other opportunities to create an outstanding result.
The workshop is aimed at those who are starting their journey into editing or want to improve their understanding of the basic steps and tools, but others may find interesting tips and suggestions in the presentation.
The goal is that participants will leave with a understanding of basic photo editing approaches and tools.
The workshop will run on Zoom for about 2 ½ hours, with time to answer questions plus a couple of breaks. It will be primarily presentation style, using Lightroom software to demonstrate the editing. Other software has similar capabilities.
