Workshop Overview
‘Understanding Digital Colour’ provides visual artists with the foundation knowledge to use digital photography in an expressive way to control digital colour from conception through to the final print or multimedia presentation of their work. The workshop aims to increase the participants’ ability to pre-visualise, control and manipulate digital colour through the use of experiential techniques to engage with colour on a sensory level. The artist can then relate that knowledge back to practical digital tools to produce compelling results in print or projection. The course is divided into 4 one-hour sessions addressing different aspects of the topic.
Comprehensive course notes will be provided.

Topics covered:
- Digital image evaluation and pre-visualisation
- Photoshop transfer modes and layer adjustments
- Layer masking techniques
- Putting it all together – the Photoshop Master file.
Workshop Overview
The overall objective of the workshop is to start with a basic digital image, either scanned from film or from a digital camera, to be able to visualise how that image may be fine tuned or altered to achieve your aesthetic aims, and then to apply those changes as a series of layers. The result is a master file that is optimised for your chosen print process and able to be output to a variety of sizes and uses. All this is achieved without changing the original image that is always available for immediate comparison by switching on its layer visibility.
This is more than a series of techniques but rather the foundation for a sophisticated approach to digital photography that will open up new horizons for creative expression. Your ability to work with images in a completely intuitive way will feed back into the choices you make when photographing.
‘Introduction to Photoshop Masters’ will be held at Colour Factory, providing the unique advantage that prints will be produced during the day from the demonstration files to illustrate the benefits of the techniques being taught.
Comprehensive course notes will be provided.
Who Should Attend?
'Creating Photoshop Masters' is aimed at an intermediate level for photographic artists and creative professionals. Some basic Photoshop knowledge is required to get the most from the workshops.
