[Leica] IMG: Printing Workshop

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Just finished a weekend (Fri 9am - 9pm; Sat. 9am - 9pm; Sun. 8:30am - 5pm) 
workshop put on by a very fine local photographer (Charles Cramer). 8 
participants learned some finer points of Photoshop and were able to work on 
and print what we worked on, taking home 2 large prints and many medium and 
small prints.

I ended up working on three images for the weekend, two of which I'm good 
with. Here are the before and after web versions:

The third image needs some more fine tuning. 
Though it may not be readily apparent in the web shots, the prints are 
markedly improved. The CS4 techniques were great to learn, but even better 
were the interactions with other participants and Charles.

If you've not seen Charles Cramer's lovely work, you can see web versions on 
his website:

His co-instructor for the workshop was Rex Naden:

Not to shabby...

If you ever get the chance to see his prints, I strongly recommend them to 
you. They are truly luminous. If you ever get to join him in a workshop you 
won't regret it. 
C&C always appreciated.
