New Digital Facilities and Classes

It's an exciting time here at the Photography Program - we recently received a generous computer donation from Champlain College, and we are working on building our own digital photography lab with 6-8 Macs and an archival Epson printer!

We have two great classes planned for the Winter session - Adobe Photoshop Basics and From Camera to Print: Digital Workflow. Both classes will offer image management skills and printer access. The Photoshop class will focus on Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS4, covering importing, camera raw, layers, adjustments and printing. The Workflow class will focus primarily on Adobe's Lightroom software and the image organization, image editing and printing capabilities specific to that program. (See post from June 2009 for more info). Both classes are taught by professional photographers with years of experience and working knowledge of the programs.
