Intermediate Adobe Photoshop

This class digs more deeply into the capabilities of Adobe Photoshop (Ps) and how its many capabilities can be applied to correct or improve digital images in order to achieve the best possible impression from a given DSLR image. Students will use a Windows workstation provided by the Craft Center to use a few of the more complex Ps tools. The class will conclude with fine-art printing the completed product on a large-format printer. Students are encouraged to bring a few of their own images for practice.

Colin Harrison
Colin Harrison was born in the Steel City of Sheffield in the North of England and grew up in the North Sea resort town of Scarborough. From birth he was destined to be creative. At the age of four he exhibited right-brain thinking, assembling Meccano Erector set models without instructions. At 7 years he was given a Kodak Brownie camera and taught himself how to process film. He became a PhD engineer, working at CERN in Geneva, at EMI Research near London on the first clinically useful MRI, and finally a long and world-wide career with IBM as a Distinguished Engineer.
Over several years, he studied natural art photography with Freeman Patterson in St. John’s, New Brunswick. From these experiences, he learned to see “the act of photography” as a human response to the inherent spirit of natural scenes. He participates regularly in solo and group shows in western Connecticut, most recently the Brookfield Craft Center, the Bethel, Brookfield, and Roxbury Libraries, the Carriage Barn, the Easton Arts Council, and the Ridgebury Meetinghouse, winning various awards. He has a great love of alpine scenes and plants at varying scales, and his works on alpine subjects are in the permanent collection of the Town of Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. In retirement he teaches photography at the Brookfield Craft Center. His work is focused on developing his own and his students’ skills in observing and responding emotionally, over a wide range of scales, to what he calls “Nature’s Art”.
