International Print Competition judging is complete! Did you watch it? Was there feedback that you didn’t understand or couldn’t figure out how to fix?

When we photograph for clients or image competitions our goal is to get it right in camera but it doesn’t always work. There can be challenges with each session that we may not anticipate. As a PPA-approved juror, Kristy Steeves often sees common issues in many images that can be fixed in Photoshop. Take for example highly reflective surfaces like metal, jewels, leather, and wood. The specular highlights are sometimes blown out and detail is lost. Then there’s the opposite: blocked-up blacks. How about banding on the background? Perhaps a bright rim light has bled over onto the side of someone’s neck or face.

Kristy has dealt with all of these issues herself and over time figured out a great way to fix these problems while maintaining a natural look. We hope you can join us for a day of basic Photoshop editing where Kristy can demonstrate and share some of her favorite tips and techniques with you!

This is a PPA-Merited workshop - part of their Continuing Education System. PPA members attending this class will receive a service merit that they can use towards their PPA degrees!
