The class is highly focused on image enhancement and color correction only. There is no coverage of special effects. The emphasis is on the use of input-output curves to improve quality. This is the class that many professional Photoshop instructors take to improve their own skills and expertise. Classes run from Thursday through Saturday.
Sessions begin early in the morning and continue well into the evening.
The goal is to pack five days worth of content into three long sessions. Each student is assigned a fully-equipped Power Macintosh in a networked environment. The results are compared against one another and critiqued. In addition to professional retouchers, this class will appeal to photographers, art directors, and anyone involved with image manipulation. Familiarity with Photoshop is a prerequisite, but, as this is a concept-based course, extensive expertise in the program is not.
