Scott will walk attendees through multiple lighting setups, and they’ll have the opportunity to photograph models using those setups, then walk through retouching their photos as Scott guides them along.
Do you teach Photoshop?
NAPP is looking to find new ways to help support college instructors and professors as they teach the power of Photoshop, so we sent out a survey to members with an educational membership on Monday. If you are a teacher and/or trainer of Photoshop, and didn’t get the survey by email, we’d like your input too. The survey is short and should take 5 minutes or less. Please complete the survey by midnight Friday, August 5 EST.
