PHOTO208 Tools 3: Digital

Digital and film photography differ in many significant ways but what they have in common is the goal of translating what we see or imagine into fine visual works of art. This course will offer comprehensive instruction in all elements of digital photography, including scanning, application of Adobe Photoshop to the photographic process with the Macintosh operating system, the value of "helper" applications, color management and fine ink jet printing. The subjects covered by this course will include digital color theory, fine black and white and color printing, and photo-montage techniques of various kinds. Either film or digital cameras of all types (including cell phone cameras) can be used in this class, and the emphasis will be on the ways in which digital processes can help you realize your photographic goals.
