George DeWolfe has been teaching digital fine printing for 13 years, updating his techniques as the technology has advanced.
While a “printing” workshop may sound excessively focused on technique, DeWolfe emphasizes that technique is the key to enabling
you to achieve your vision. You are more likely to achieve your vision by understanding how your visual perception processes luminosity
differently than hue and saturation and taking advantage of that in your workflow.
The Digital Fine Print Workshop incorporates both black &
white and color printing. This weeklong workshop is basically a 16-bit workflow from digital camera to the final print.
It is an established, simple, straightforward, and effective method for printing consistent high-quality, fine-art, B&W and color images. The goal of this workshop is simple:
To show you how to make outstanding black-and-white and color prints consistently using a computer and desktop ink-jet printer.
Both Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Lightroom® are used in the workflow for the workshop.
Participants should have a basic understanding of the latest
versions of each of these applications. The books,
Digital Photography Fine Print Workshop and
B&W Printing: Creating the Digital Master Print,
explain in detail all of the techniques and procedures used in the workshop.
