This course will cover a variety of advanced digital techniques crucial to the medium of photography which includes files made from digital cameras, archival film scanning, high quality inkjet printing (both black and white and color), and the evaluation and critique of what exhibition quality prints should look and feel like. Emphasis will be placed primarily on Photoshop and the Adobe Creative Suite, though we will use other ancillary software to achieve our final goals. Students will also come away with a practical solution for proper file management as well as a broader understanding of the various materials available to them for digital production. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have created a final portfolio that is the culmination of everything learned and demonstrates an understanding of how digital photography and its techniques integrate into the realm of fine art photography. Students will also be introduced to experimental digital approaches that offer hybrid possibilities with analog techniques.
