TIPS & TRICKS FOR PHOTOGRAPERS

Terry Ernest of Ernest Camera Shoppe in Port Huron will be teaching a seminar titled: "Photo Editing: Tips & Tricks for Photographers". Photographers will learn how make great images using less time. Some subjects that will be discussed are: Straightening crooked scans, using autocolor effectively, sizing/resizing, sharpening an image, colorizing black and whites, creating a vignette, removing "tough" red-eye, applying filters and more!
