Photoshop World - Orlando 2010

Explore Orlando and learn hands-on tips and techniques for photographing models, scenery, and more from two of the most amazing pro photographers working today and who love to teach everything they know. Moose and Joe will also cover on location techniques every photographer needs in their bag of tricks. There's no better way to learn digital photography than getting behind the camera shooting side by side with these two pros. Lunch included. Limited to 65 participants.

Learn to capture the moment by improving your on-location digital photography skills, including lighting, composition, and posing. Attendees can bring their own cameras to shoot along and they'll get a CD of their shots on the last day of the conference. The highlight will be a "road trip" where David shows you how to work with the bride and groom to produce gorgeous images with minimal equipment and time — just like a real wedding. Lunch Included. Limited to 45 participants.

In this hands-on session (both camera and laptop) you'll create a movie poster from start to finish. We'll start with a photo shoot, taking photos specifically with Adobe Photoshop in mind. Then we'll go through a complete design process from extracting the model from a green screen background to compositing several images together to adding type and special effects.

While you're creating your movie poster, you'll also learn many important Photoshop techniques and shortcuts, including some 3D effects. By the end of the session, you'll have a couple of finished pieces of artwork and you'll be able to order a free poster print courtesy from Mpix.

This is not an introductory class for Photoshop. You need to have good basic Photoshop skills, especially using selection tools and layers.

Requirements: Participants must bring a camera, card reader and laptop with Photoshop CS3 or CS4 (ideally the Extended version) and should have good basic skills in Photoshop. This is a hands-on session where participants will take photos and work in Photoshop on their own laptops. Limited to 40 participants.

In this limited seating hands-on class you'll learn about the hottest thing to hit digital photography in years — HDR (High-Dynamic Range). We'll cover every aspect of HDR, from how to shoot great HDR photos all the way through to hands-on processing them in Photomatix and Photoshop.

You'll learn:

• Why HDR has become so important
• What to do in the camera to get the best HDR photos
• A quick photo walk so you can take your own HDR photos to work with in class
• Hands-on processing in Photomatix (and how it's much easier then you thought)
• How to organize and post-process your HDR photos in Adobe Photoshop, and seamlessly fit HDR into your workflow

Whether you're looking to learn HDR to help capture a realistic natural look to your photos, or you're looking to learn that surreal/grungy style, this class will make you an HDR pro by the end of the day.

Note: For this pre-con you'll need your DSLR camera, a card reader, a tripod, your laptop, and Photoshop or Lightroom. You'll also need Photomatix Pro 3. This is a 3rd-party plug-in. You are required to have it installed (the free trial version) before you come to the conference. We'll also provide a discount code for purchase to all attendees of the workshop.
Limited to 60 participants.

Topics covered will include: which gear to use, shooting under ever-changing concert lighting conditions, and "getting the killer shot" within the standard three-song limit. Next, you'll go to a live concert shoot where you will take the skills you just learned in the classroom and put them to use! Limited to 40 participants.

Ever wanted to select hair in Adobe Photoshop? Come to this session and learn how. Masking lets you select the finest of details with precision control. Or as Deke likes to say "Masking is the art of using the image to select itself." But given that no software has successfully automated the process (even you, a talented craftsman, cannot be replaced by a machine) masking is really the art of making yourself invaluable.

Learn the secrets behind creating the digital masterpiece painting!

"Imagine taking a paint brush and dipping it into the photograph, transforming every pixel into a brush stroke, the result is magical!"

Using Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, you'll discover how to transform your photographs of portraits, landscapes, still life and more into paintings that simulate oil, watercolor, chalks and pastel paintings, replicating the traditional styles of the Old Masters and beyond.

From Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse and beyond, from photo-realism to Impressionism, you will discover a world of possibilities.

From retouching your images using Adobe Photoshop, to preparing for the painting, to using the "digital dark room," to applying your paints and blending them in Corel Painter, you will discover the magic of the digital paintbrush.

This class is for the photographer, fine artist, and hobbyist, who wishes to create breathtaking, hand-painted looking works of art from their photographs, using Fay's easier than ever signature style of photo painting.

Learn practical, non-destructive Adobe Photoshop editing techniques you'll use every day.

You'll learn how to correct your images like a pro photographer using adjustment layers and blend modes, as well as how to lighten under eye bags, blemishes and wrinkles nondestructively. Plus, you'll learn how to create some of the most popular effects this side of the Pecos, including creative edges, partial color, color tints, photos within text, collages, and more. Finally, you'll discover how to resize and save your image for any usage at the highest possible quality.
