APRIL 2004 NEWSLETTER
Rescheduled
Presentation from March
“Digital Imaging” - Presented by Ken Rockwell
Thursday, April 8, 2004 @ 7:00 PM
Digital imaging authority Ken Rockwell will share his decades of experience
to shed light on digital photography topics that confuse many of today’s
photographers. Ken will show us not only little-known practical tricks
such as how to straighten a horizon perfectly and automatically in PhotoShop,
but also clarify many areas such as: how to get your colors to match from
your screen to your prints, what you should or shouldn’t care about
when it comes to color profiles, bit depths, resolutions, RAW, JPG, and TIFF
formats, the realities of film and digital capture, the best ways to prepare
your images for printing, and the best way to get absolutely stunning prints.
Ken Rockwell is the man behind KenRockwell.com, the internet’s most
popular single-person photographic reference website with 10,000 visitors
each day reading over 3,500,000 pages every month. KenRockwell.com has
more readers every month than Popular Photography has subscribers. Ken
has been studying digital photography since 1973, when only our federal government
could afford it for processing intelligence images. Ken invented the
world’s first integrated circuit digital color space converter 15 years
ago and has been working in digital imaging full-time since the 1980s both
in La Jolla and Hollywood, where he has worked in the design of film scanners
and consulted to organizations like the National Security Agency, the British
Broadcasting Company, Warner Brothers, and DirecTV.
As an artist, Ken has been exhibited in galleries that also have exhibited
work by Ansel Adams, including the San Diego Natural History Museum.
Ken’s works are held in public and private collections across the United
States.
