Fine Art Digital Workflow

Looking for the ultimate digital printmaking workshop?

Spend a Saturday with John Paul Caponigro and R Mac Holbert on the Auraria Campus. This premiere workshop is the chance of a lifetime. Learn from two master digital print makers at the same time, fresh off their highly successful tour in the Epson Print Academy, in The Fine Art of Digital Printing. The workshops will be held in the state-of-the-art labs of today's premier photographic educational institutions.

The workshop translates photographic language and practices from traditional to digital and exposes you to a world of new possibilities.. You’ll see, use, and evaluate the latest Epson printers, ink, papers, and profiles. An integrated approach to using Adobe products Photoshop, Camera Raw, Bridge, and Lightroom will all be detailed and practiced. By the end of the week you will have mastered a fine art workflow, understand how it differs from others, and learn a variety of techniques and tools that will help improve and refine both your digital files and prints. You'll leave with finished prints and the knowledge you need to get the results you’re looking for when you return home. You'll also leave with a vastly expanded set of possibilities for making images.
