Digital Printing for Photographers with Sue Anne Hodges (Online)

@ Making the transition from screen to print can be challenging. Creating a successful print requires more than knowing which buttons to push, it requires understanding how technical choices shape the final image. After an introduction to basic color management and printer settings, students will explore how various controls affect both the outcome and aesthetic of the print. Through a series of technical exercises, students will train their eye to see and evaluate color, as well as explore edge contrast, sharpness, and custom black-and-white printing. Students should be comfortable using Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop and must have access to a photo-quality inkjet printer (Epson or Canon recommended). Online class time will include demonstrations and preparation of the technical setup for each week’s exercises. Students will complete weekly homework assignments, printing a series of test images in advance of each class. Evaluating these results is a core part of the learning process. Weekly group discussions focused on goals and outcomes will support progress and help students gain a deeper understanding of their own equipment. Technical issues related to software settings can be addressed in class through screen sharing.
