Creating Gallery-Quality Black and White Images Using Nik Viveza 2, Color Efex Pro and NEW Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for Photoshop – David Saffir instructor $79
In the digital world, a strong color image is the foundation of top-quality black and white prints. In this workshop, we’ll start with editing color images. We’ll be using Nik Viveza 2 and Nik Color Efex Pro in Photoshop to create a custom, pro-level finish for each color photograph. Color Efex Pro has over 25 photographic filters, and over 250 special effects and Viveza facilitates precision color and tonal editing. Once the color image is dialed-in for conversion to black and white, we’ll move on to Silver Efex Pro 2 - which is like an all-you-can-eat buffet when it comes to options creating your final black and white image. You can even apply pre-sets that match the appearance of different types of black and white film. All are easy to use and the software gives real-time previews as you go. Special effects and toning are a snap. Imagine the possibilities! We will review printing methods that give the best results on desktop inkjet printers and some of their larger cousins. We’ll look at different paper/media types and your choices in creating the look you want. You don't have to be an expert in Photoshop or Lightroom to benefit from this class. You don't even need a laptop (but it’s nice to have one!) Join us for a fun and informative afternoon that's sure to take your photography skills to the next level!
