Margie Hurwich will be presenting a program at CAPS-Chicago Area Photographic School called "Layers and Beyond." Margie can help you take the mystery out of using layers in Photoshop.
Margie sells her images at a Rights Managed stock site which caters to
book publishers. She is published
internationally in 18 countries with hundreds of book covers throughout.
Shooting exclusively for book
covers has trained Margie's eye to look for images that immediately convey a
concept, feeling or story. She teaches
those same ideas at the Bryan Peterson School of Photography, BPSOP - Bryan Peterson School of Photography

Original Final
I would have to say that 99% of the time I never crop an image in post
processing. That doesn't mean I don't
skew it a bit to make a horizon straight or to change the perspective of a tall
building. But for the most part, my
photos come out of my camera cropped into the composition that I would
like. But do I post process my
images? You bet!!! And pretty heavily too!
There are
two kinds of post processing. One is
image enhancement. Generally most
digital cameras do some digital enhancement in camera and if you shoot RAW, you
will also have to do some minor adjustments during your RAW conversion. Image enhancement simply makes a better
version of your photo by using sharpening, contrast, saturation, etc. But the second type of post processing is
image manipulation. This is the category
in which my photos fall into.
Through the
use of layers and their capabilities, I am not only able to direct the viewer’s
eye, but also combine images to create the concept, feeling or story I wish, and
even create my own reality.
