Introduction to Photoshop B&W Conversions (May 14, 2016)
Eric Jones
Description: The attendees will be introduced to the B&W conversion workflows found in Photoshop. The emphasis will be on the simplest and perhaps, the most useful Photoshop B&W conversion schemes. A goal of this workshop is to help the participant to anticipate and adjust the combination of colors and tones that may prove to be troublesome before using a B&W conversion process. Additionally, the utility of applying the B&W conversion workflows discussed here for standard RGB-based images will be presented and discussed for processing Infrared-based images. If time permits, advanced Photoshop B&W conversion workflows and/or commercial B&W plug-ins will be discussed.
Course Items: Attendees should bring a laptop with Photoshop and a few RGB/Infrared images to be converted or discussed.
Registration: The early bird price is still just $99 - that being good until May 3, 2016. The on-site registration fee is $120.
To register, go to http://www.ppa.com/edu/content.cfm ItemNumber=3235#nm02
** A Professional Photographers of America (PPA) sponsored event

Macro/CloseUp Photography/Jeremy Stein
“Just being able to get a detailed photo of a small item is not sufficient: making a beautiful close-up photo is a long step beyond the technical skills needed to get a detailed close-up or macro photo. I can assist with almost any macro problems you may be having. However, I would like to help you learn to get dramatic, artistic, eye-catching photographs which are also close-ups.”
We are excited to announce, Jeremy Stein has offered to lead a workshop on the intricate art of Macro/Close-up Artistic Photography on November 8th from 10am-4pm. Please contact Jeremy at jeremy@jsteinfoto.com to sign up for this workshop in advance, as this special workshop will only be offered upon popular demand. ($85 + tax= $90.95 per person)
This Macro/Close-up Artistic Photography workshop will begin with an hour or so of lecture along with a demonstration. Participants will be encouraged to discuss what they desire to achieve.
Please bring your own photo equipment to this workshop. While Jeremy will provide a reasonable selection of items to photograph, participants are also asked to bring in their own personal items to use as subjects. Following this introduction, each participant will set up and photograph their items of choice, using their own equipment. Participants will be encouraged to seek Jeremy’s guidance and engage with their peers to gain new technical and artistic insights.
