The Weston Collective Workshop Series
Photoshop Flow with Rick Murai
March 28, 2020
The Weston Collective embraces historic and traditional darkroom processes but is excited with the potential of digital imaging as an exciting, accessible and potent creative medium. Spend an enjoyable day with Rick Murai as you learn a simple, straight-forward and repeatable Photoshop workflow that mimics traditional darkroom techniques and produces gallery and reproduction quality results. After creating an ideal file, one can explore the gobs of after-market enhancements, or readily produce digital negatives used for the alternate process workshops offered by the Weston Collective. Film scanning will be discussed and students will be able to print several of their completed files. Students should bring a laptop with Photoshop.
Each participant will walk away with an 8x10 digital image printed on our Canon Pro 2000!
