Kristy A. Steeves, M.Photog.Cr., CPP
When we photograph for clients or image competition our goal is to hopefully get it right in camera but it doesn’t always work. There can be challenges with each session that we may not anticipate. As a PPA approved juror I see common issues in many images that can be fixed in Photoshop. Take for example highly reflective surfaces like metal, jewels, leather and wood. The specular highlights are sometimes blown out and detail is lost. Then there’s the opposite: blocked up blacks. How about banding on the background? Perhaps a bright rim light has bled over onto the side of someones neck or face.
I have dealt with all of these issues myself and over time figured out a great way to fix these problems while maintaining a natural look. I hope you can join me for a day of basic Photoshop editing where I can demonstrate and share some of my favorite tips with you.
