The art and science of selections

Event info

This will be a live, two-way interactive workshop for up to six people. Tickets will go on sale on 1 September.

For those who edit their images in Photoshop, creating selections can be an important part of the editing process.  Good selections can help to create stunning results, bad selections can create nasty halos and other artefacts.  Creating selections can also be the most time-consuming part of the workflow.

In this three-part workshop with multi-award-winning Belgian photographer Noel Baldewijns you will learn how to use a wide range of selection techniques for use in different circumstances - and which to use when. 

The workshop will cover:

- basic selection tools: marquee, magic wand and lasso
- object, subject and sky selection tools
- colour range selection
- the pen tool
- quick mask mode
- refining your selections with Select and Mask
- luminosity masking

Working with examples of both landscape and architectural images, Noel will take participants step-by-step through when and how to use these different techniques.

Each class will be recorded so that participants may refer back later. 

To take part in this workshop participants will need:

  • a computer with webcam and microphone

  • a reasonable internet connection

  • Adobe Photoshop.

No prior Photoshop expertise is needed.

 

All timings are stated in UK time.

Cancellation by You

If you wish to cancel your booking PLEASE let the event leader / organiser know with as much notice as possible. If nothing else, this can avoid them delaying the start of the event while they wait for you.

If you have paid for an event, please note that this fee/ticket price is non-refundable unless we are able to sell your place to somebody else. You are welcome to sell your place yourself but, again, PLEASE notify the event leader / organiser in advance of any change.

Cancellation by us

Event leaders are asked to make plans for alternative activities or locations in the case of poor weather and, in most cases, events will proceed despite poor weather unless, in the view of the event leader, the weather will lead to unacceptable safety risks or very little chance of successful photography. It is inevitable, however, that occasionally an event will be postponed or cancelled for this or another reason beyond the RPS’s control. If an event is postponed we will transfer your booking to the rearranged event, with the option of a refund if the rescheduled date is not suitable for you.

Occasionally an event may also be cancelled owing to lack of bookings. So if you wish to attend an event, don’t leave it till the last minute to book as it may be too late.

If an event is cancelled we will give you as much notice as we are able and any payment by you to the RPS in respect of the event offered as a full refund. In the case of events cancelled because of lack of interest we will aim to give at least three weeks’ notice wherever possible.

Please note we are NOT able to refund any associated or consequential costs including but not limited to travel, accommodation, insurance premium or other costs incurred by you in order to attend the event.
