Taming The Colour Dragon - Learning To Make Whole Colour Prints

I was lucky enough about three years ago to be sent on a course by my employers that taught me the basics of colour management and printing. It involved a weekend away and some pretty smart instruction from two master photographers. It was the best thing that could have happened to me at the time as it paved the way for my home printer use as well as my management of digital files.

You too can benefit from this course, and with the additional advantage of being able to do it here in Perth. Shoot Photography workshops are going to conduct a three-part course starting on the 19th of November here at their premises in Stirling Street. Actually, they will be doing this in August as well, but you can't get in because the course is fully booked - never mind - you can still get into the November sessions.

The teachers for this course will be Adam Monk and Simon Cowling - both award-winning professional with decades of experience between them in the art and science of both studio and field photography and the entire train of actions that make up a digital workflow. They will be using Epson printers, I believe.

The course will be run over two consecutive Tuesday nights - the 19th and 26th of November for theory and computer work, and a Sunday session on the 1st of December to draw it all together and do the printing. I believe they will encourage participants to bring their own images to work upon.

The best way to find out the complete details will be to go to the Shoot web address:

www.shootworkshops.com.au/2013/07/18/print-it-perfect-the-art-of-printing-and-colour-management/

or give Dana a buzz at Shoot during the day.

This is the sort of course that is useful to simple printers as well as those people with more professional equipment. You should be able by the end of it to cope with any landscape or portrait that presents itself.
