Basic Image Editing (Special Interest Group)

Contact: Gary Ford
Sign up for this SIG

Photo Editing
"when you alter an image file in any way after it has come from your camera that either represents what you actually saw in the scene being photographed, or to achieve a final image that represents your own artistic intentions."
In this special interest group, hosted by Gary Ford, members come together to share and build their image editing skills. 

This group is for those new to or less than confident with image editing. The focus will be predominantly on learning the basics of image editing using the most popular tools out used by our members - Lightroom, Camera RAW/Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Luminar and Topaz Studio. 
​
​Even if you haven’t started to edit your digital images, we will help you to learn the basics to get started.  We will meet on the last Tuesday evenings of the month at 7:00 PM via zoom.
​
​Why Edit Your Photos? 
​You will achieve a final image that either represents what you actually saw in the scene being photographed, or to achieve a final image that represents your own artistic intentions. Your edits can range from simply adding contrast to a flat RAW file, cropping, removing noise, adding sharpness, or changing file size for printing; to removing unwanted elements of an image, adding special effects, or creating a composite of multiple images to get a desired effect. See the example edits on the right.

​Meeting Format
Meeting are conducted digitally via
 Zoom. To participate you will need a computer with a microphone and camera, or a smart tablet. You must pre-register to receive the link to the Zoom meetings.
Basic photo editing challenge x 2 sample images
What to expect
​The meetings will have three components:
​

Sample Image Assessment – we will look at a small sample of images and discuss what could be done to improve them.

Before/After Image Editing Exercise - you will be invited to submit up to two Before/After image sets where you show the image as it came from your camera and then your edited version(s) of that image. We will view and discuss the images

My Picture Your Edit Challenge Exercise - each month you will be challenged to try something new by working on two RAW images supplied by the host and we will look at and discuss your results. You can edit with whatever software you choose and however you wish to edit the images.
meeting times
We meet the last Tuesday of the month at 7 PM., for approximately 75-90 minutes. There are additional meetings June through August for group members who wish to meet.
