Photoshop for Shooters
Another Photoshop Class?!
If you can make this photo (and I hope you do and share it), then this class is not for you. If you want to make these kinds of photographs, then this class IS for you!
Next Class 5-6 May & 22-23 Sept 2012
Here it is plain and simple, I want to help folks with their photography and the vehicle we’re going to use in this class is Photoshop to help improve your captures! And we’re going to do that by using Photoshop to learn how to be better at the camera and the computer. We’ll talk curves and exposure, Silver Efex Pro and lenses, HDR and composition. They go hand in hand and knowledge of both is so important I feel to get what you see and feel reaching the heartstrings you’re sharing your photography with. And that’s the end game to all of this, grabbing heartstrings.
This is a class for those wanting to improve their photography. The class is open to 20 participants who shoot anything and just want to improve their photography. You will need to come with at least 15 Raw files, one of which will be finished by me in class for all to learn from. You will need a notebook with Photoshop loaded. Which version of Photoshop? You can come with any version but I will be teaching with CS5 Extended so if you wanna follow along, you’ll need CS5. What else will you need? The tools we’ll be covering in class are Photoshop, ACR, Bridge, Nik Color Efex/Silver Efex/Dfine/Sharperner Pro/Viveza/HDR Pro, Photomatic Pro, Perfect Resize just to mention a few.
The class starts at 9am, finishes at 5pm with a lunch break both days. There is no shooting during the class. But we want to encourage photography before and after class so you will be provided with a shooting location list for my favorite locales in the Eastern Sierra. Those photographs you take can be used in class and will shine by the time you head home.
Who is this class for? It’s for everyone, no matter the camera or computer brand you use, the subject matter you love to photograph, no matter your skill level! No matter if you’ve never launched Photoshop to been using it for decades, I guarantee you’ll be not only entertained but also will learn a ton. That’s because we’re talking photography the entire time.
Can you tell this is an HDR photo? Would you know if you were in this situation, you should shoot HDR? If you answer either of these questions with a no, then this class is for you!
The price is $495 which includes instruction and Scott Kelby book only. We have a very special rate at our host lodge in Mammoth Lakes, CA. You can fly directly into Mammoth Lakes and take the shuttle to the lodge, rent a car or drive to Mammoth, whatever works best for your needs. The class is just two days, Sat & Sunday 5/6 May. It’s very relaxed, lots of giveaways, a whole lot of learning and a ton of fun. Call WRP @760.924.8632 or 661.204.1506

I wanted to take the time and express my appreciation to you and Moose for a great weekend in the Photoshop for Shooters class. It was not only entertaining but very informative. Moose did an excellent job of leading us through his workflow and camera settings as well as looking for the light. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a clear and concise weekend to learn more about Photoshop and shot in an amazing environment. I look forward to taking a workshop taught by Moose in the future. Thanks again for all your hard work!

WOW! What a great weekend I had. Learning, shooting and learning some more and making new friends. I think you have a hit with your new series of classes and will be talking it up to friends. You took me to new depths of Photoshop which will open up an entirely new area of editing for me. Oh, the hotel was a really nice place too!
Thanks again for the great teaching and hospitality.
Warmest Regards,

Moose and Sharon,
Thanks for a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed the class and got a lot out of it.
Even though I seldom use Photoshop (mainly Lightroom), I took the class hoping to see the possibilities of Photoshop and improve my images. The things I enjoyed the most were:
1. Camera settings – even though I shoot Canon,
2. Your before/after presentation of your images and the thought process you go thru to get the final result.
3. Taking the participants images and how you would improve their images. I think most of us don’t really know how to finish a photo. I know I’m going to work on improving my thought process at the point of capture and my post processing.
Again, thanks for a inspirational and thought-provoking weekend. See you at Photoshop World.

Dear Moose and Sharon,
Thanks for a great weekend. The primary reason I chose to attend this workshop, besides admiring Moose’s work, was knowing that Moose doesn’t like to spend time behind the computer; so I hoped for some great time-saving tips as well as some insight into making fine prints.
I got both. The tip about inverting a selection to protect an edge while cloning/healing alone was worth the cost! I also appreciate your “straightforward” approach ;>) .
Have fun in Oshkosh. And don’t forget the standing dinner invitation if you ever find yourself in my neighborhood.
Best,
Douglass

Hi Moose and Sharon,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank both of you for a very well run Photoshop for Shooters class last weekend. Thank you Moose for imparting such great tips and techniques and thank you Sharon for keeping us all hydrated.
I don’t call myself a photographer; I think that should be reserved for those making a living with their cameras. But I do enjoy the creative process and challenges of making clicks both behind the lens and in front of my computer display. And I can already see a difference in my finished images as a result of your presentation.
Prior to attending Photoshop for Shooters, the only other classes I had attended were Kelby Training sessions when they have come to Hartford; one by Scott and the other given by Ben Wilmore. And while they were very well done, I learned more from you in the first hour.
Like a few others on Google Plus, I’ll throw my 2 cents in for restaurant recommendations in Lake Placid: The View at Mirror Lake Inn and The Brown Dog Cafe and Wine Bar. My wife and I enjoyed both when we were there in 2010. The photo I used as the ‘Stump Moose’ photo was taken just a few feet from The Brown Dog.
Again, thank you and have a great time shooting and teaching this week.
Best wishes,
Ed Judge
