Digital Editing Group
2019-10-21 20:00 - 21:30 | VIC
The Digital Editing Group discusses how digital photography is transforming traditional photography. The focus is not on how to capture an image, but on what can be done with it in post-processing, ranging from adjusting exposure and saturation to compositing, HDR and special effects. Share ideas on how to get more out of your digital camera, tips and tricks using Photoshop, Lightroom and other image processing software.
Topics for discussion will be posted monthly in the Digital Editing email newsletter and in eMCC.
