Ian Plant - Advanced Editing Techniques
---
Ian will take you through his general Adobe editing workflow, demonstrating his digital darkroom technique taking several photos from start to finish. Ian will focus on the "why" more than the "how" - although the individual tools are important, Ian is going to discuss why he makes the creative decisions that he does, how editing choices can affect the composition, and how those decisions can influence the viewer's response to the photo. Ian uses a basic workflow, with a "less is more," goal-oriented approach that prioritizes subtle enhancement and optimization of the raw file and avoids the excessive digital manipulation that is common these days.
