Digital Editing Essentials for Photographers

This digital editing workshops devised for those who are new to editing, or for those who are finding it difficult to get the most out of their digital files. You may even be experience but are simply seeking new or alternative ways to edit. 20 years of editing has taught me many things, the most important of which is measured, repeatable process. Image editing is part of our workflow. It directly follows from all of the time, effort and pain you have poured in to being able to create great images in camera; the last thing you want to do is undo all of that hard work in the edit; unfortunately, this is exactly what may photographers do; either through poor processes, or no processing at all.

I will offer you substantiation as to why all digital images (the ones you share at least) should always go through processing. You will learn measured and repeatable processes, which I guarantee will improve your photographs in terms of final output quality, enable you to form a style and also speed up your process time. These processes will also allow you to return to images at any point after the edit and make further, measured, micro adjustments to suit your own, or your client’s needs.

More than this, you will begin to enjoy editing! It will become an extension to the photoshoot, and you be excited to get the images off of your computer and get to work!

The workshop follows directly my own edit process. An A to Z of predicable process.
