Sea Lions and Rocks, Galapagos. 2005. 11x14 Pigment Print on Rag paper Having just returned from my first trip to the Galapagos Islands, I had to pick something from the trip for this month's print.

This print at this price is offered through June 30. We'll be taking orders until then, and shipping them out by July 15th. Featured Print Web page |

| NEW--One-Day Seminars RAW Image Capture Processing July 8, 2005 $250 Stephen Johnson Studios & Gallery Pacifica, California. As a long time advocate of full sensor data capture since the mid-1990's, it has been my pleasure to work with Thomas Knoll and Adobe on the evolution of the Photoshop Camera RAW plug-in. We will spend the day exploring the principles behind raw capture, the plug-in itself, image editing techniques and data preservation strategies, as well as delving into what still needs to be done in Photoshop proper.

Color Management Seminar with Bruce Fraser Friday July 15, 2005. 9am to 5pm. $250 email: info@sjphoto.com
From Bruce: In this full-day seminar, we'll go all the way back to the basics. We'll start by looking at the fundamentals of human vision, and the models of human vision on which all our current color management is based. I promise that we'll keep it equation-free, so don't be scared off if you're math-challenged. The goal is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the models, because that understanding goes a long way towards explaining what color management can and, equally important, cannot do. Next, we'll examine the relationship between ICC profiles and the devices whose behavior they try to represent. A device profile is simply a snapshot in time of the way the device behaved when the measurements on which the profile is based were taken. Process control is the part of color management that the color management vendors never talk about, so we'll look at best practices for profiling to ensure that the device behaves the way the profile claims. Finally, we'll switch from theory to practice, and examine Photoshop's color management features in detail. We'll delve into the mysteries of RGB working spaces, and look at how careful soft-proofing can save paper, time, and frustration. Along the way, questions will be encouraged, and to the best of my ability, answered. |

* Death Valley in Winter January 14-17, 2006 with the Magical Digital Bus Transformed from a searing 120 degree desert in summer to January's mild 60-70 degree weather, Death Valley is filled with intriguing landforms, delicate flora, strange mineral deposits and expansive views. Mile high Dante's View overlooks the patterned salt flats of Badwater and the Amargosa River below (the lowest point in the United States). Badwater's still water in turn mirrors the blue and white Panamint Mountains to the West. The lunar landscape of Ubehebe Crater's black volcanic fields rise from the rolling desert at the valley's north end with the steep gorge of Titus Canyon and Red Pass to the southeast. |
