Introduction to Editing Underwater Photographs with Photoshop

What are the first steps to take when editing an underwater photo so it will look better? In this workshop you will discover how to recognize which photos are the best to edit, and then what to use in Photoshop Elements (cost around $85 for PS Elements software so great value!) or in Photoshop CS to give more life, or pop, to your photos without getting overwhelmed with the software. This will include learning to work with levels, hue/saturation, cropping, stamp/healing brush, sharpening, removing debris in the water and so on that can make good photos look fabulous. If wanted, please bring two to four untouched digital photos on a cd, dvd, or memory stick to look at and possibly use during this workshop.
