The Last-Pixel Show - Carmel Workshop

Brandie Price

Just finished the three day workshop in Carmel sponsored by the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery. This workshop was two days of comprehensive iPhone/iPad/Applications work with the third day being dedicated to Ligthroom/Photoshop and making prints. Each student left with a print on fine art Epson or Museo paper printed on an Epson 3800.

Today's post are some the images created by the participants - in alphabetical order.

Look for an upcoming announcement for The Last-Pixel Show 2012 location workshops. Places being considered are California, New York and Washington State (The Palouse). You can 'like' The Last-Pixel Show page on Facebook where you will find information about the workshops as it becomes available.

Photo Wizard

Erik's Final Image

There is an old saying when doing workshops that if the instructor stays open he or she learns a great deal in return from the participants. This was very true yesterday at The Last-Pixel Show workshop in Carmel, Indiana and today I would like to share the work of Erik Schoonover.

1. Erik took his original image below and made two adjustments. First he used the Symmetry Tab to create the look in the background mountain range. He then selected the sky using the Magic Wand, inverted the mask and created the soft look in the sky using one of Photo Wizard's EFX tabs (see final image above).

2. Next Erik isolated the toy soldier once again using the Magic Wand and dropped the soldier into the image. He then used the clone dialog to move the soldier into the location in the final image at the top of the page.

The new Photo Wizard has quickly become high on The Last-Pixel Show  list of applications being taught at our workshops. Stay tuned for an announcement of several location workshops next year. 

By the way Erik is 12 years old and attended the workshop with his mom, Kari.

The Last-Pixel Show, Printing iPhone Photography Images

The last day of a Last-Pixel Show workshop is usually spent preparing the student images for print and then actually printing. This involves scaling, retouching artifacts and finally print sharpening. The images are printed using on Epson Ultra Smooth Fine Art (matte) or Museo Silver Rag papers (lustre) - they are printed on Epson pitners using the Photoshop and/or Lightroom dialog.

Take a Last-Pixel Show workshop and learn how to maintain the quality and resolution of your images during processing to ensure the highest quality print possible.

Here are a few of the image from the Whidbey Island Workshop (in alphabetical order):

Cape Cod - Boat

I am not usually obsessed with color but with the advent of applications for the Mac I can not seem to stop playing with images and color. This image managed in Photo Studio (mac), PSColorHD (iPad2) with a bit of help from Paintmee (Mac). With all the new applications available on the Mac there seems to be no end to the textures one can create......

If you want to learn more about iPhone/iPad/Mac creativity the Pacific NorthWest Art School located on beautiful Whidbey Island is hosting a 4 day iPhone creativity workshop with myself and Teri Lou Dantzler....

We were lucky enough to have an antique car show just outside the workshop location - we stopped early so the participants could photograph the cars and use those images to process in class tomorrow....

Playing for Free

Playin' for Free, iPhone Image

'Now me I play for fortunes

And those velvet curtain calls

I've got a black limousine

And two gentlemen

Escorting me to the halls

And I play if you have the money

Or if you're a friend to me

But the one man band

By the quick lunch stand

He was playing real good, for free'....Joni Mitchell
