Sure you can take the picture, but do you know how to edit it? For many underwater shooters capturing the image in camera is only half the battle.
Join Scuba Diving Australasia’s Field Editor Doug Sloss for a fast paced workshop designed to give underwater shooters the knowledge to effectively post process their underwater and topside images using Adobe Photoshop. Doug demonstrates and walks students through the essential techniques all shooters should know in order to create beautiful underwater images. Attendees learn how to effectively run images through Adobe Camera Raw, edit using the Bridge, the importance of Smart Objects and how to use Photoshop’s new Smart Filters.

Attendees also get acquainted with adjustment layers, curves and creative sharpening techniques for that perfect print. Students also learn how to effectively deal with exposure problems, color casts, unwanted objects and discover a few automation tricks guaranteed to speed up workflow plus a whole lot more.
