Getting photos to look good can be challenging. Details get lost in shadows and highlights, the sky is washed out, unwanted elements or people can't be avoided, it isn’t sharp and more. Luckily many of these problems can be corrected in post-processing and/or by the kinds of exposures you take, which Susie will explain in this workshop.

She'll help you recognize when a photo can be salvaged and how to do so using some of her favorite Photoshop and Lightroom tools. Prior knowledge of these applications is recommended. If possible, please bring a laptop with the applications installed and photos to work on.

“Thanks again for all you help, I had a Great time!"
