CLASS OVERVIEW
Which comes first, the brightness or the blue? The backscatter or the adjustment brush? Ah yes. These are questions for the ages – and for anyone who’s ever wondered where to start working on an image that’s not quite right. This session will help you learn to analyze your images with an editor’s eye, and understand the best practices to maximize the potential in every shot.
