Understanding the RAW File Workflow

ASMPNorCal, NEWLAB, and Future Light Digital Workshops Present: Understanding the RAW File Work flow
 
An informative, 3-hour workshop on understanding the RAW file work flow.

Take control of your DSLR camera. After a review of basic camera functions and controls, we'll concentrate on getting the most from your digital DSLR's RAW format. We cover custom white balance and advanced camera features that will boost your accuracy and productivity. The following topics are covered in detail.
 
-NEW!  Photoshop CS4's coolest features 
-Basics of digital color. The differences between JPEG and RAW formats.
-Achieving optimal white balance for color accuracy.
-Why in-camera exposure compensation is so important.
-Understanding your in-camera histogram.
 
A good post-processing raw workflow unlocks the potential in your raw files. We will take you through a typical editing session that covers the complete workflow process, from downloading, to optimizing the final image.
 
-Batch processing during the download. A universal RAW format, Adobe DNG.
-Choosing a color space during raw conversion (Pro Photo RGB,
  Adobe RGB, sRGB.)
-Adobe Camera RAW controls. Synchronizing files and saving
  multiple edits.
-Composite file formats and getting ready to print.
 
Familiarize yourself with the all the photographic benefits of shooting in RAW format and see the results in your own work!
 
For this seminar we have added more practical applications in Lightroom2 and Adobe Photoshop CS4 and minimized  the theory to give you more bang for your buck.
