The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, Inc. (FPPF) is conducting regular workshops of Basic Digital Imaging Techniques using Adobe Photoshop CS3. In three full-day sessions, photographers learn the basic tools to enhance photos through color correction, retouching techniques and layering to produce stunning photo albums. The course is ideal for professional photographers who intend to go into wedding photography, cruise ship photography or events coverage where they can use digital image enhancements in post-process to make their photos really stand out.
