The Kanata Seniors Centre Craft Group has been supporting the Camera Club by contributing funding for our website, domain name, and image storage.
This funding provides a critical part of the Club presence, and it is difficult to imagine just how we would operate at the level we do without this support.
Thank you from the Camera Club and all its members!
Sign-up: Monthly KSCCC meeting on Friday, January 10, 2025
Instructor: Ross Laing
This presentation is designed for anyone new to post-processing or photographers who are just starting to use post-processing. The presentation will look at common editing tools and techniques no matter which photo editing program you choose to use.
Deciding to edit your images using post-processing may seem overwhelming at first. Learning about how to make a few basic edits and using just a few editing tools and techniques can improve your photography significantly.
Some key concepts that will be introduced during the presentation will include the difference between Global Edits vs. Local (Selective) Adjustments, as well as brief “real-time” demonstrations of editing sample photos using specific editing tools and techniques, including:
Basic Global edits: exposure, white balance, contrast, etc.
The next monthly meeting will be held on Friday, January 10th starting at 9:15 a.m.
Your images must be emailed to contact@ksccc.ca by noon on Friday, January 3rd to be included in the meeting.
