January 29, 2019 Photoshop Workshop for Beginners, Palmetto Room, 9:00am - 1:00pm The Callawassie Island Photo Club is offering a four-hour introduction to Photoshop on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 from 9 am to 1 pm in the Palmetto Room. The cost is $10/person. Please enroll by contacting Karen Gottschall (dkgottschall@yahoo.com) by Friday, January 11th. Space is limited to 12 people.
You’ve got your camera and figured out how to use it. You’ve even listened to the “experts” and shot in RAW (or maybe not) and taken some great pictures. Now you need to get them out of the camera, processed, and printed or displayed. You know how to download the image files from the camera to the computer, but then what? Once upon a time, there was a photo lab that handled all the darkroom stuff for you. Now it’s a do it yourself project using computer software. There’s a lot of different software packages that claim to do this, but the one that everyone talks about is Photoshop. How can you use that to take your pictures from the camera to a frame on your wall or computer?
The Photoshop for Beginners workshop will address how to use Photoshop to edit your image files to make them stand out. We’ll cover the basics (cropping, exposure adjustments, saturation, contrast), some of the healing tools (cloning, healing brushes, patching), and some of Photoshop’s amazing newer content aware tools (Content Aware Fill (2 versions), Content Aware Crop, Content Aware Move), Sharpening, Resizing and some of the features of the “front-end” to Photoshop – Adobe Camera Raw. We’ll also touch on some of the capabilities of Adobe Bridge, the file management program that is often used in conjunction with Photoshop. We’ll talk about Photoshop’s use of Layers and why this is so important and powerful. Finally, we’ll finish up with a preview of some of the more advance features Photoshop has to offer., including the use of masks to make targeted adjustments to your images.
To participate, you must have a copy of the current Photoshop CC version 20.0.1 (PS CC) loaded onto your laptop. This is available as a subscription through Adobe or you may download a free 30-day trial version of the software. Because this is a hands-on class, you will need to have access to a laptop with the software loaded for the workshop. It is not practical to share a laptop, or simply observe. If you need help installing the software on your laptop, please contact Mike Anderson, Gene Durick, or Karen Gottschall. In addition to the PS CC software, please install Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Bridge (ver. 9.0.1). Before the workshop, Karen will help you load some sample files that we will be using in the workshop. Please contact Karen as soon as you have the software installed on your laptop. If you are getting assistance in installing Photoshop, then the sample files will be installed at that time. In addition, you should have some of your own files available to work with.
(An Advanced Photoshop workshop will be scheduled at a later date and will pick up where this class ends.)

February 12, 2019 Southbound Photo Exhibit, Charleston
This is the largest exhibit of photographs of and about the American South in the 21st century. The images have been taken by 56 different photographers, all significant artists. The images represent a wide range of interpretations of life in the south; most of the images will make you stop and think. I think we’ll all benefit from seeing this important collection. Click on this link to see some of the images in the exhibition:
Our plan will be to car pool, leaving enough time to arrive, park, and assemble as a group at the Halsey Institute in downtown Charleston when they open at 11 am. That means we will most likely leave around 8:45. We will have an hour long private, “Looking to See” docent-led tour dedicated to our group. After our tour, we will assemble for lunch at a nearby restaurant (to be determined). After lunch, those interested in continuing to see the 2nd half of the exhibit will proceed to the City Gallery at Waterfront Park, 34 Prioleau St. (1.4 miles from the Halsey Institute).
