[LargeFormat] UK Spring Large Format Workshop: May 2003 - Update

[Clive Warren]

Final arrangements for the f32.net Spring Workshop are in place and 
we are looking forward to putting some names to faces from those who 
have already booked their places. The workshop takes place in 
Tintern, South Wales on May 8th to 11th 2003.

We have changed the format slightly in that the portraiture day has 
been split with an afternoon session on introduction to digital post 
production. Using the excellent facilities at Abbey House Studios, 
participants will learn the basics of scanning and manipulating large 
format images for later output to a wet print process.

The digital seminar on the workshop will also introduce the concepts 
of colour management and profiling, continuous ink jet inking systems 
and how to get fabulous (and archival) output from consumer inkjets 
on a range of papers.

Demonstrations of top-tips in Photoshop 7.0. How to get nearly 8 
stops out of one Velvia trannie with a few keystrokes and other 
'must-have' pro secrets, how to use USM properly, channel operations, 
masks and a demonstration of an amazing cut-out program.

It has been mentioned last week that Cooke Optics have very kindly 
lent f32.net one of their new PS945 Soft Focus lenses for 
demonstration use during the workshop. A great opportunity to check 
out the lens first hand.

We will of course have at least two Ebony demonstrator cameras, 
including the new Ebony RW45E.
