Students will study post-production principles such as manipulating tonal range, correcting color, dodging and burning, adjustment layers and masking, output for print and other devices. Software used are Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto. Class activities require weekly shooting assignments, thorough organization, advanced image editing, and on-going print preparation (including wide format).
