If you are looking for a class that teaches you how to make your black and white images “pop,” then this is the class for you! We will work primarily with RAW files (but JPEGs can also be used), and review how to use Adobe RAW processing and then Photoshop layers, curves, levels, dodging and burning to create black and white art from standard color images. Photography is all about capturing the light, and this class will teach you how to paint in light where you need it to compose dramatic black and white prints. Participants are asked to bring digital color RAW files for conversion, and final images will be printed on large-format digital printers.
Prerequisite: Class participants should have completed the Introduction to Photoshop class or have basic Photoshop skills.
