Program 1. Color Workflow for Photographers
Get Prints from your Lab that match what you see on your display!
Tired of getting prints back from your lab or off your inkjet printer that don’t match what you saw on your screen? Then you really need to learn how learn how to easy it can be to set up your computer and monitor to keep this from happening. We’ll show how to soft-proof in Photoshop and apply correction to images before sending them to be printed. While were at it, we’ll take a quick look at some of the great new tools in Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 to give our images the finished look we all want.
Stop wasting time and money and learn how to get great prints the first time!

Program 2. Light Metering & Wireless Photography
Get perfect exposure every time with handheld meters!
Using the meter in your camera to determine correct exposure is a hit-or-miss activity. Using a handheld light and flash meter will ensure perfect exposure every time and raise the quality level of your photography. We’ll discuss why and how to use a light meter with ambient light and flash photography as well as using flash outdoors as fill light.
Following the use of meters, we’ll show how to control your camera and lights wirelessly so that you don’t have to be behind the camera to get great photographs. This technique will benefit all who photograph children and pets, as these subjects can be much more relaxed when you can interact with them without a camera in the way.
