Photoshop 101 - Class 4: Master File Creation and Workflow

Details

FREE TO ATTEND! - Master File Creation and Proper Workflow should be essential elements in how you approach and use Photoshop, regardless of the version. Consider this class the culmination of Classes 1 through 3.

Creating a Master File is NOT for every image: it’s for those images that you want to spend time with, doing all that’s necessary to make your image “pretty”. Here’s where you pour your artistic “blood, sweat and tears” into your image - more on Master File Creation here on my webpage: https://wattsdigital.com/master-file-creation ...

It’s also important to standardize your Workflow: adjusting your contrast should be done before color correction, cropping should be done before sharpening, and so on.

So here's what we'll do: I'll spend time creating about a half-dozen of YOUR Master Files from start to finish, using a standardized workflow.

Those who RSVP are encouraged to pre-submit one or two unedited RAW file - "problem" files encouraged! - we'll use them throughout the seminar to put what we've learned into practice. Please submit via my webpage upload: https://wattsdigital.com/upload-files-to-me (Please do NOT upload to the Meetup website!) ... RAW files only, please - you do not need to send your .xmp file, if you have one.

The cost to attend is FREE for this 90 minute Meetup, but you should RSVP soon, as space is limited. Please note that in the interest of time, the focus will be on the subjects listed, rather than other functions, tools, and concepts of Photoshop - copious notes will be provided via PDF.

This free workshop is designed primarily for those fairly new to Photoshop, but it is also a good refresher course in the basics for those with a bit more experience. Please respect my intellectual property rights - no audio or video Recording! Questions encouraged via chat - let's have some fun!

RSVP early, as RSVPs will close 1 hour before start time! - We'll finish at 7:30 PM - See you there!
