 | • Picture Paramedic - Are some your pictures flat lining? Do you have some images that you just know would look great with a little TLC? Are they flat or tired, or just yearning to breathe free? Well, come to Picture Paramedic, where we'll go through a series of student's selected images, fixing, patching, retouching, coloring, and sometimes - transplanting! Each student can submit 2-3 images prior to class, and the instructor will choose one or two to be restored to vibrant health! (This is optional - I have plenty of images that need fixing!) We'll limit the number of images developed so each one gets the time it deserves. At the end of the class, each student will get the full-sized Photoshop files with all layers for their use. Another benefit of the class is that you'll have an opportunity to see how images from other photographers are tuned up, which will also broaden your Photoshop skills. So get busy, look through your library for those pesky photos that just won't cooperate, and bring them to Picture Paramedic! - David Saffir instructor $69 ( LIMITED TO 5 STUDENTS) Held at 28368 Constellation Road, Suite 340 in Santa Clarita.
